and soon you can pack your gears and move out from Europe.

That would be nice.  About time you big talkers took care of yourselves.

Ahhh Now possibly you can understand why so many of us decided to vote for Bush over Kerry.

Granted Bush is no gem either we just didnt see kerry as a better choice.
fact of the matter is neither are really loved by many cept the party loyalists

I just the other day saw a recent report on a poll that showed that 70% of the people that voted for kerry didnt do so because they liked Kerry but because they  were making a vote against Bush
 While that certainly is ALOT of votes against Bush
If thats true that means only 30% of the people that voted for Kerry either liked him beleived in his policies  or were party loyalists.


Speaking only for myself I Wanted someone to come along that was better then Bush But Kerry in my view didnt stack up and meet the requirements on a single issue that was important to me that might have made me vote for him.
There were also charactor flaws I saw that left me less then impressed and often annoyed.

Sadly Unless the Reps come up with a wayyy to the middle candidate in 08
By default I will probably vote Democrat


Unless Hillary runs in which case I may abstain out of disgust

Don't really compare ,or your election would have been GWB vs some Nazi Party of America dude.
 
And I don't think Kerry was a Nazi

Just to refresh my memory, was it Le Pen who advocated telling little girls they couldn't wear scarves?

He said a lot of things : like the shoah was nothing but a event during WWII (like the industrial death of million of people can be ansomething perfectly natural ...)

[Holden McGroin]

But the scarves thing... was that Le Pen?

[straffo]

Don't know , perhaps he did say so but as there was a concensus about this question he was not alone.

Whats all this French Bashing!?

You chaps might still be British if they hadn't helped in the War of Independance! ( My history is sketchy but I think I'm right )


Lol:lol

[Holden McGroin]

Straffo, I was elbowing you in the ribs a bit for the anti muslim dress code in French schools.

The government in power now, not Le Pen, decided no scarves is a good idea.

[straffo]

This a law I disagree completly with ,in my opinion in the public school no religious symbol (or political btw) should be wear,it should not be directed to one or another religion.
It's simply not the place for displaying his opinion.

We have plenty of award winning American produced fine wines that easily rival French wine

Talk about ingnorance

blue is correct... very few things could be worse than being under british imperialist rule in the 17 and 18 hundreds.

Californian wines are fine but I find them too sweet. Too much sun IMO. Not a true rival, a different wine suiting different tastes.

OTOH France shouldn't be snotty about american wines. After all, the californian grapevine which resisted better against the phylloxera (sp?) saved the devastated french vines around 1860. to US for this!
