Doesn't Oskar Lafontaine have his own party? Are you counting them among the communists or SDP?
I am counting Oskar as the Communist. Officially, they call themselves the Linkspartei. His partner is the last dictator of East Germany: Gysi. I am not kidding! The dictator of East Germany is running for office and 8% of the population is voting for him to be Chancellor of all of Germany! The far left has left the launch pad heading for outer space.
I look at the "Loose lips sink ships" moniker here on FR and I have to wonder if I should be talking about this subject when a German leftist could seize on it to talk some sense into the idiots who are about to throw away their votes to the Linkspartei.
About Angie: She is extraordinarily eloquent especially when she talks about how wonderful Americans are and how much America has done for Germany. I have heard her in person unapologetically praising Americans in a loud speech at the Marienplatz in Munich and it brought tears to my eyes. But then again, even Joschke Fischer includes a pro-American line or two in his speeches when he mentions getting candy from a US soldier when he was a child (there is a strong pro-American current even among anti-Americans because they have a love-hate relationship with us like the Canadians do). She also eloquently talks about how leftist economic policy is a disaster and how high taxes are bad.
