Vive Les Frogges!

 

1. Yessssssssss!  About damn time they just said “no” to Socialism.  The margin of victory was a little hairy, but it’s a start.  Now, let’s hope the rest of the Euro-Peons find some Visine and get the Reds out ...

3. wow 85% voter turnout..Highest in france for more then 2 decades… Wonder how long it’s been since we have had above a 30% vote turnout let alone a 85%? yes I know france is smaller then the US.. but I doubt it’s been a while since even any 1 state has had an 85% turnout…

   according to this study http://hnn.us/articles/1104.html looks like the last time we had even a 65% turnout(for a presidential election) was in 1960(and who knows how many of those were dead people/madeup voters that Joe Kennedy used to help JFK get elected.)..

4. A blow to Socialism and the red tide. Chavez must be smoking somewhere, anyone smell sulfur? 
   The summer riots were the death blow to Royale. France has had enough of immigration

7. I was in France about a month ago and, tho I did not hear much talk about politics, the little I did hear was all for Sarko and against Sego and the socialists. The only worry was the “yoots” who might gracefully accept defeat by burning Paris.

8. Let the strikes begin! I hope this works out for them, but my fear is they have become too addicted to welfare. As Major Mike says “Trust, but verify” sound advice sir!

9. The voter turnout verifies one of my main complaints about elections here for years.  France held its election on SUNDAY!!!!!!  Why do we still hold ours on a tuesday, because that’s the way we have always done it?  Maybe, just maybe if we moved ours to a saturday or sunday we would get similar participation.

10. From CNN, emphasis added:

    “The French people have called for change. I will carry out that change, because that’s the mandate I have received from the French people.”

    Sarkozy added that he wanted to tell his “American friends that they can rely on our friendship ... France will always be next to them when they need us.”

    But, he added, “Friends can think differently.”

    He then called on the United States “not to impede” in the fight against global warming. “On the contrary, they must lead this fight because humanity’s fate is at stake here.”

    What’s so ‘Conservative’ about pushing ‘Gorebalony’? Or ‘friends’ who think ‘differntly’ especially concerning the war on Islamofascists. My opinion is that nothing has changed in France. It’s still Merde!
