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."

Democrats have stood side by side with communists for the past 60 years.
This doesn't surprise me in the least.

Robin Cook resigned as Foreign Secretary (our equivalent of Secretary of State) over the invasion of Iraq, many of us were delighted to get rid of him.
This is not really that surprising, the British Tory Party has had many contacts with the Republicans, right-wing parties like each other (the French Gaullists being the obvious exception) and so do the anarcho-leftists.

Transnational socialism... just as many wise people have observed, now it's plain as day. Tranzis ("transnational socialist progressives")... the natural successors to the Nazis.

Timeout posted this link on The Guild yesterday. I found it quite interesting since Biden has now publicly agreed with Senator Heinz that world leaders would like to see an administration change in our next election.
Things that make you go hmmmm...

Thats kind of odd, even though gun laws are quite strict in norway...you can still purchase and own pretty much ANY firarm you want to in Norway...

The socialist international rears it's ugly head again. Why isn't this major news on the networks? Because if they tied the socialists with the democratic party they would lose everywhere. However they are no longer "liberals" now they are "progressives" an old stalinist code word for communist.
It would do well for conservatives to keep exposing them for the commie rats they really are.

Keep this up, the dims are really gonna to committ suicide here. The Spain vote clearly shows what the Europeans will do when challenge with WOT. IF America wanna follow the same model on WOT, go ahead, elect the democrats. Somehow I have conffidence in the American people to see this through and understand what is at stake this fall. Poll numbers already show 60% of Americans think terrorist would like to see Kerry elected, and link that with the weak-knee Europeans, the democrates are get murdered by the security issue this fall. Funny how the Evil-Queen-Bee is involved with this, maybe she knows something that Kerry don't. If I were Teresa, I'd stop the evil queeen bee before she've gone too far. LOL
