How is it that socialism still persists in Europe? You would think the USSR would have turned everyone against socialism by now.

[txhurl]

The 6wk/yr paid vacations (plus everybody taking the entire month of August off) and 1yr paid maternity leaves probably have a lot to do with it.

[flaglady47]

“will show that Le Pen is mightier than Le Hordes.”

Very clever, heh, heh.

[Mafe]

All funded by the taxpayer.

[ground_fog]

HOw many leftists will support Macron and not be called sexist misogynists

[txhurl]

Yeah, apparently it’s fine to mess with their very lives (jihadis) but mess with their paid time off and it’s on.

[poinq]

Reading about Macron’s turn-ons and turn-offs, its clear that he is a Euroist. So we really have a choice for France. Le Pen who will give them their country back. And Macron who will sell it to the European Union. France has a long history of doing the wrong thing. They vote for the best looking male. So I think Macron will win. And Trust me, Macron is not like Trump at all. He is like Obama.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she beat the exit polls. In the voting booth people will pull the lever without fear of judgement.

According to Westmonster, at 20% of the vote counted:

LE PEN AT 24.8%
MACRON AT 22.1%

according to the French Interior Ministry.

[fhayek]

Or at least Bernie Sanders. I mean he is an avowed socialist. Not that the media would ever focus on that.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

According to Westmonster, at 50% of the vote counted:

Le Pen 24.13%
Macron 22.42%

according to the French Interior Ministry.

[Fightin Whitey]

Yes, and I'm sure you're up on your wines, as well.

But tell me, on what issues do you regard Ryan as a conservative?

[Cementjungle]

Obama called Macron 3 days ago to offer his "support"... that's the kiss of death.

Between now and the runoff, expect lots of talk of the Russians rigging their elections.

[bjcoop]

And Le Pen is behind Macron by 26 points.

[mkleesma]

Faire la France encore une fois!

[the OlLine Rebel]

The same “what” that makes Macron a “centrist”.

In their world, being a socialist mouthpiece makes one “centrist”.

[narses]

According to Westmonster, at 50% of the vote counted:

Le Pen 24.13%
Macron 22.42%

according to the French Interior Ministry.

[the OlLine Rebel]

That term actually is another example of the shell games communists play with words.

“Progessive” sounds like you’re advancing, right? That’s what they want you to think.

However, in reality, it is the OTHER meaning of progressive that their movement actually embraces - GRADUAL change, instead of “revolutionary”/drastic. So that no one notices.

[phoneman08]

Dang. Didn’t know she was that far behind.

Go Marine! Go France!
