''Oh,Commissar,if we could put the potatoes in one pile,they would reach the foot of God''.But,replied the commissar,''This is the Soviet Union.There is no God''.''Thats all right'' said the worker,''There are no potatoes''
The same thing I was saying all those years - Putin won't stay for a third term, because he is a democratic and won't break our constitution.
Hell, you don't mind when a presindent of US elected among two parties, you don't mind when the leader of the winning party becoms a PM of UK or Japan. But when Purin is ready lead the party he created - he is a ****ing dictator.
Your problem that you don't understand that Putin has support of absolute majority of the Russian population, because Russians like his achievments as president. And it is what democracy is all about - people will vote for whom they like. The end of story. If he will be the leader of party in parliament - fine, but he won't be a president, God damn it.
Face it-putin is holding onto power in russia for as long as possible, and whether his title is President, Premier, or gran mohlala he is still the dictator.

Yeah, right
Whatever, it's up to us to decide whom me want to see as our new president and is it OK to a popular as hell politician to stay in the Russian politic or not to stay. We will decide that, not you. So, just FOF, please.
Well, the whole "successor" talk in the media pisses me off rather badly.
If Mr. Pu shows up next year and really does say 'Hello folks, this is Misha/Gena/Vova, he's the best candidate, vote for him,' this would be the most stupid thing he could possibly do. Piggybacking on Putin's popularity through the elections <> democracy.
However, I have no problem with Mr. Pu becoming the prime minister. After all, PMs are selected by the president, and if the democratically elected president thinks Mr. Pu can lead the government, so be it.
But I still do believe a "free-for-all" with Putin wearing a Mona Lisa smile would be the best scenario for the upcoming elections.

Russia has the right to pick its leaders, I just don't like the leaders they pick. But I'm sincere about it
Don't get me wrong, I want (and everyone in their right mind does) a rich, prosperous, fat, happy, drunk Russia. However, when these guys get rich, they get uppity and aggressive. Hence, as a responsible neighbour, I would prefer someone who would continue reforming Russia, who would further the rule of law (like Putin, to a large extent), but who would refrain from energy blackmail and subversive activities in neighbouring countries. Too bad I have no say in the matter

Yes. In 1874, Andrew Johnson made it back to the Senate. This was after losing an election in the Senate and then the House.
Don't recall about any others.
Tyler and Calhoun went on to have political careers after the finish of their duties in the US executive branch.
You forget the most memorable? John Quincy Adams, after one term as president, served in Congress from 1831 until his death in 1848. He labored tirelessly to end the slave trade and slavery, including the Amistad case (though it wasn't like the movie).
You know, in a way it really doesn't make sense for the most experienced leaders to stay out of politics. At least in theory, wouldn't it be a nice idea to have special Senate seats reserved for ex-Presidents?
Putin is a completely different matter though, he wants to retain his executive powers under a different name, but it's food for thought.

Oh so it's insults now, is it
Well, Sir - I will let you keep your delusions, that you live in a democratic society. You seem to deserve them.
Just don't come running to me, crying your eyes out, in 20 years when Putin is still President/Prime Minister/Dictator and you have all realized that this is whole thing is only about keeping power for him and his friends, and has nothing whatsoever to do with what is best for the Russian people.

Only that VetLegion is trolling He seems to like that when it comes to the danish system. Perhaps it's the fact that we have a working system that we can be proud of, that he is envious of.
Our system is certainly not like in some countries, where people seemingly can decide for themselves how long they want to be in power

I think the idea is for Putin to be a PM for a term, and then run for President again in 2012.
You think he's going to be PM for a full term? IIUC, under the Russian constitution, the PM takes over the President resigns - thats how Putin originally succeeded Yeltsin (who had appointed him, everyone forgets). As long as the new Prez is Prez for even one day, Putin hasnt succeeded himself.
