Well... I feel sorry for 46% of Austria.

Maybe they should ask for a recount

Or maybe they should just get used to the hills coming alive with the muslim call to prayer

Far right = principled, common sense conservatism.

POLLS ARE DISINFORMATIONAL BS ......

Never believe a Poll as they are never true in my opinion and experience.

Get out and VOTE even if polls show your side is winning by 75%.

We are so fortunate in the U.S. Our Trump won.

The bottom line is it didn’t quite work out. In this case the establishment - which pitched in once again to block, to stonewall and to prevent renewal - has won.


This is what will happen in France too.

They dropped the voting age to 16 to help seal a win.

He really won, and then they had to recount to do fraud. Then they postpone the reelection because they didn’t like the date coinciding with Hungary’s vote.

Greens are hardly “establishment” by US standards. For one thing, the party is only 30 years old. Good on Austria for making the right choice in the end.

>Notice the good form. Let’s come together as a nation. No recount. No cry baby.

Dear friends,

I would like to thank you. You have given me such great support, and I am incredibly sad that it didn’t work out. I would have liked to watch over our Austria.

I congratulate Alexander Van der Bellen on his success and ask all Austrians to stick together and to work together. We are all, equally, Austrians, no matter how we voted at the ballot box.

Norbert Hofer

>Don’t be too surprised if Hofer’s party finishes first in the next parliamentary election, and he is able to put together a ruling coalition.

>Regarding what is “far right” in Europe: The New Dawn Party of Greece is a far right, neo-Nazi party. The National Democratic Party of Germany is far right, but actually not a neo-Nazi Party.

>A bunch of parties are called “far-right” by the establishment-conservatives and socialists, but hey are simply a bit more nationalistic/euroskeptic than the establishment conservatives. They are just as committed to democracy, free markets and personal liberty as are the establishment conservatives (maybe more so). They want free trade and investment, but generally oppose a common currency, excess regulation by EUROcrats, and free immigration of people who do not embrace our values of freedom and democracy.

Soft-Euroskeptic: UK Conservative Party, Polish Law & Justice Party, German Alternative Party

Hard-Euroskeptic: UK Independence Party (Nigel Farage), National Front (Marine Le Pen), Austrian Freedom Party, Dutch Freedom Party

I think he looks a bit like Dan Quayle (when he was younger).

So the Tyrannical International Socialists win in Austria.

Austria is a small country and probably a lot easier for the Globalists abroad ( like George Soros) to steal the election.

To the press, “the far right” is anyone they dislike. Socialists opposed to Muslim migration are “far right” to them.

The poster boy of the “far right” led the German National Socialist Workers’ Party - Adolph Hitler. I think the media objection may have been the word “National.”

Stalin murdered more people, starting earlier, but he was an INTERNATIONAL socialist, following Lenin and Marx. The New York Times denied his Ukrainian holocaust of 1931-2. For their efforts, they received the Pulitzer Prize.

Why are people assuming “Far-Right” means the same thing there as it does here? None of it transfers over. They all gave up their guns over one little shooting anyway.

So the Austrians reply to the migrant flood by replacing their left-leaning president with a radical left winger. European Greens make Jill Stein look sane and are even worse than the ruling Social Democrats (i.e. Socialists).

The left committed massive vote fraud to deny Hofer the election earlier this year. Then when a court threw that out and called for a new election, the left and global media relentlessly portrayed him as a Nazi — even showing elderly Jewish Holocaust survivors “terrified” (by the media lies, not the truth about Hofer) in order to affect the entire population. It clearly worked. There was a massive shift of 8% the other way in yesterday’s vote. Austria is done.

Hofer should file for recounts in WI, MI, and PA...
