[FreedomNeocon]

The constitution aims to streamline decision-making and forge a more coherent joint foreign policy ... of the 25 nations

With germany and fwance takin' the lead?

Yeah... that'll work.

Don't believe everything you're told, even if a well known, social leftist, loud mouthed leprechaun chants it repeatedly.

Don't buy European wine at all. Buy American.

[Seaplaner]

I guess the French might surrender to the notion that they will give up their collaboration plans with the EU. Perhaps they think that they might yield too much in the deal.

[Earthdweller]

"Also their economy is in such a mess a more hard left government will not be able to help only make it worse."

Let the inevitable economic downfall of the socialists come more quickly. It is merciful. ;)

[Blake#1]

Irag is forming a "new" nation. At the same time so are the Europeans. Which one will succeed?

[Getsmart64]

A socialist government might not be so bad. As I recall our relations with the French during the Reagan administration with the socialist Mitterand than with the conservatives.

Who was in charge when the french denied airspace to our F-111's that bombed Libya? That cost two American lives.

I'm talking about the least worst alternative. When you're talking about France, there is no good alternative, at least not since the fall of the Bourbons.

[hoosierham]

I hope the French do reject the unholy alliance.If Hitler had been smart enough to use his bankers instead of his tankers,he would have won!

[Unam Sanctam]

Les voteurs francais -- ils ne sont pas bien elevees. Ils ont manque une bonne opportunitee pour se taire.

[tjwmason]

I know that France is not well-loved by FReepers, but I have a little proposition.

If the French vote against the European Constitution then as a gesture of thanks we should have a single 'buy French day'; just one day when we buy French wine (which at decent levels is still stunning), French cheese (which is damn difficult to beat) &c.

We can go straight back to avoiding their products afterwards, but this vote could really shaft the E.U. in a manner which they have not seen for ages and an act like that deserves some small recognition.

My tagline says it all....it was written for the French and other like-minded Liberals.
