Labour forges ties with US' Democrats

Norway's Labour Party is joining other European social democrats in linking up with the Democrats in the US. The goal is to be prepared with common strategies if a majority of them on both sides of the Atlantic come back to power.

A group of European social democrats, led by former British Foreign Minister Robin Cook, met last week with several top Democratic politicians and party officials. They included US senators Hilary Clinton and Joseph Biden.

They also had meetings with Ron Klain of presidential candidate Wesley Clark's campaign, and Stan Greenberg, former US President Bill Clinton's campaign strategist in 1992.

On the agenda was European concern over current US foreign policy and the effects of globalization.

Espen Barth Eide, who led the Norwegian delegation, said the group met "understanding" that "economic globalization must be accompanied by political globalization."

There remain wide differences between the European social democrats and their counterparts in the US, who tend to be far more conservative.

Barth Eide called it "natural" however, "to begin with those (in the US) who are closest to us (in ideology), even though the Democrats of course aren't social democrats."

Here's a question: if leaders of the Democratic party are meeting secretly with leaders - Europeans and Iraqis (Bonior) - what are the odds of them meeting with Al-Quaeda?

Slick willie campaigned for Barak.

The Chinese army campaigned for slick willie.

The new glorious leader of Spain will campaign for Kerry.

Now these low life scum in Europe are conspiring with Biden and Hitlery to interfere in our elections.

Do the sheeple care?

A big chance I would say. Kerry is probably beside himself to meet with AQ since they shot the liberals into power in Spain.

The third way of hitlary.

Communism is alive and well in Madam Hitlaries mind.

This makes it even more urgent to wipe out the Democrat party.

This is much like the "greens" who cross national boundaries.
