Russia gets a vote

I want to suggest for future elections we provide a space on the ballot for Russia to indicate who we should vote for. This would be a great benefit to our legislators so they wouldn’t have to spend the next four years and millions of tax dollars trying to find out if a candidate is being supported by Russia.

We should also allow Russia to spend as much money as they wish putting ads in the media for or against any candidate. It couldn’t be any different than the baloney we get now from most candidates in the media.

Certainly most of our voters are educated and intelligent enough not to believe much of what the media provides us now. This could also give a boost to our balance and trade.

I know we too are meddling in the politics of nearly every country in the world. So what is the big deal about them meddling in ours?
