We are pissing money away in foreign lands to manipulate vote outcomes. Proving voter manipulation is down to a Science and most likely practiced on Americans.

This statement can not be justified by the info in the article or by the US's actions in the Ukraine. The US is NOT manipulating the vote; The Unkrainian govt (with some assistance from Putin) is manipulating the vote. The US assistance to the opposition is in the form of advice on how to organize, as well as providing material aid in the form of fax machines, copiers, computers, cell phones, etc - IOW, things to help them get the opposition's message out in a nation where the govt controls the media

Ukraine's election has irregularities and a U.S. backed popular voter riot seeks to redo the election.

There have been no riots over this and the reason for this is that the US's advice to the opposition is based on principles of non-violence. Please review the links I provided in an earlier post for more info on what the US is doing in the Ukraine. It always helps to base one's conclusions on actual info, and not supposition.

However the same irregularities occur in the USA and the powers that be seek fit to ignore them. Sickening.

Again, not true. In the US, unlike the Ukraine, candidates could, and did, get air time, and were allowed to advertise. In the US, unlike the Ukraine, opposition candidates weren't beaten by thugs, or arrested by the govt. In the US, unlike the Ukraine, opposition candidates weren't summarily ruled ineligible to run.
