Reuters ^

PARIS (Reuters) - Just one percent of French people want Republican candidate John McCain to win the U.S. presidential election, and western Europeans overwhelmingly favor his rival Barack Obama, an opinion poll showed on Friday.

McCain's campaign derided Obama as a celebrity akin to Paris Hilton after the Democratic nominee toured Europe and gave a speech to a huge crowd in Berlin this summer. The Harris Interactive survey suggested the Republican would have struggled to draw such a large audience there if he had tried to.

Notwithstanding ACORN involvement, that’s one per cent more than the amount of French citizens who will be voting in the election.

Obama is assured of a landslide in France. Why doesn’t he go there and be their President?

Sounds like a great reason to vote for McCain. Like we care what the arrogant Frenchies think.

If the Euros love Obama so much, they can have him.

I’ll take Sarkozy, Merkel, or Berlusconi in a trade.

More than 1% of the French voted for the Vichy government and its fascism.

Guess they never learn. Going to get what they deserve.

America should let in those remaining members of La Resistance and the RAF and then shut the door on Europe.

The next time you see Paris, the Effiel Tower will be a mosque.

Bon appetite France. Mangez-vous merde!

Proof positive that the ancestors of our Founders left there for good reason, and that we should resoundingly back Obama’s opponent.

Give France a break. Remember they elected Nicholas Sarkozy not too long ago.

If you think the leftist press is bad here in the USA, I can assure you that you would think the NY Times is hard right next to ‘Le Monde’ or any of France’s large news outlets.

Europe has an extreme leftist news media that is heavily populated by former Soviet era journalists who think propaganda is their prime directive. They have their dogma fixed and the news media is there to propagate it endlessly.

When you live in Europe, you nod your head to the Leftist press because otherwise they will make your life difficult in some fashion. PC is a way of life there. Same in France, you secretly pull the lever for Sarcozy but tell the press pollsters what you think they want to hear.

And if you still doubt what I have just said, then just read a few reports about those with McCain-Palin signs or stockers getting assaulted or vandalized. Then multiply that by 100 for Western Europe.

Euros are especially fearful of belligerent Muslims over there.

I heard that firework shows have been discontinued at Euro-Disney outside of Paris.

Why?

Every time the fireworks are set off, the French try to surrender.

One percent of the world wants McCain. Funny how the stinking, worthless world always dials 9-USA when they have their asses in a crack. They do not call the Russians; they do not call the Arabs; they do not call the Brits; they do not call the french; they do not call the Spanish; they don't call the Mexicans; they don't call Red China. NOPE, every stinking time they dial 9-USA and yell save our asses, or send money, send your troops to protect us, help us, send food, medicine, doctors, yada yada yada. Then, it is go home Yankees, we don't want you here any more. The rest of the world, the entire planet, can kiss my red white and blue racist white boy patriot gun carrying retired military ass!

Message to France: the emergency HELP number 9-USA has been permanently disconnected.

Fend for yourself, and with your record, that should be for about a day.

Then you can eat Islamic snails and bow to Mecca.

Who are that one percent?

Probably religious Jews who still remain in France. Many French-born Jews have had to leave France because of vicious attacks by Muslims:

France's Sarkozy condemns attack on Jew in Paris

Attacks by Arabs On Jews in France Revive Old Fears

NY Times: Massive Muslim attacks on Jews in France

As attacks rise in France, Jews flock to Israel

Muslims in France attack rabbi and young woman Jews in Norway and France call warned not to wear religous symbols in public

French Jewish cemetery attacked

PARIS: JEW ATTACKED BY MUSLIMS "SWEARING ON KORAN"

FRANCE'S ANGRY YOUNG MUSLIMS: Last week's attack on a Jewish soccer team is the most recent in a wave of anti-Semitic incidents

Fresh attack on French Jewish site

The French haven’t been worth sh!t for years (except for the Foreign Legion, and by definition they're not really French ;>). Maybe Mr. Sarkozy will get them back on the right track. But I wouldn't bet on it...

My only experience living with Frenchmen in France was among their very conservative and pro American Special Forces, no people anywhere are only 1% conservative.

If the poll had tried 6 or 8% I would doubt it but ignore it, but 1% is made up.
