Your French friends excited about the socialists winning the next election? Sarkozy looks like he will lose.
Here's an answer... hot off the press... direct from Paris, the city of lights... my question was "So… Sarkozy is looking like he is loosing ground to the left. Opinions? On one side you have the vile nationalism of Le Pen and on the other side we you have the big tent socialism of Hollande. The middle doesn’t seem to be holding. What’s up?"
And the answer "What's up is if you put the left/right or right/left hemispheres of the brains of each candidate together, you would still lack an organ capable of coming up with an original, creative or useful idea. It's pure politics at its worst. What's up is that there are so many systemic problems on a global and EU level that the sh*t is starting to hit the fan and not one of the candidates has the slightest idea of how to hit the 'off' switch or even how to find it. I'm not certain that anyone does at this point. That's why I'm voting Poopzilla this year - as I have every year."
OWS crowd proclaimed "we are the 99 Percent" and "banks got bailed out, we got sold out," a band of construction workers delivered chants of their own.
"Get-a-job! Get-a-job!"
They chanted, "Bank of America, wrong for America" and other slogans that sometimes failed to stay, well, classy. ("Hey bofa, go f--- yourself" was one catchy refrain.)
"Enough is enough. Take some of the salaries of these big-shot executives inside there and give some to the common people."
LOL

Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.

(P.S. Poopzilla is a pet pigeon)
according to the Economist neither candidate wants to talk about the real issues facing France. Sounds just like here.

Just a guy with limited ability to post anything of relevance. If you are not one in the same, I appoligize...but your style is eerily similar and there is a recent rash of regulars prentending to be new posters.
rofllol If you guys only knew how wrong you are most of the time on guessing who people actually are and what they're actually like...
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
Its fun to guess SC. Its like a game.
How can you tell anyway? I use like 3 different computers from different locations to post here, so it could look like different users from different IP's
