I think Sarkozy is about the best candidate (who can win) we could hope for.

I notice there's not one word about Le Pen.

I shudder to think what would happen in France if the French revolted against their own government. The instability would provide an open door for the muzzies. What an invitation for takeover. It would be just the opportunity they'd be looking for.

I noticed that too. Isn't he the only candidate voicing opposition to Muslim immigration?

He is so lame.

"Leading star of the French Right."

Hahahahaha.

Oh, that was for real. I didn't know there was a French Right.

...Because Le Pen isn't running for the UMP nomination! If he wants to run, he will do so in his own party. He will, however, be about 80 years old, and if he doesn't consider himself too old to run, others in his own party might.

Incidentally, you do realize that Le Pen is not a U.S.-style conservatibe/European-classical-liberal (In Europe, free marketers are called liberals), don't you? Even Pat Buchanan has said he has made "radical and foolish statements." Although there is a conservative tendency to figure anyone attacked by the U.S.-style-liberal press must be a good guy, Le Pen is definitely more a David-Duke Democrat than a Tom-Tancredo Republican.

And what of Le Pen's younger coleagues in his Party? The liberal media there must find it important to black-out any reference to Le Pen's successors and fellow candidates/advocates.

Ah, yes,"the defunct military service." That's the story of western Europe.

Were these the same young people who filled the streets to protest a law intended to reduce unemployment by empowering the employers to fire the incompetent? If so, they aren't the stuff of revolutionaries. They're the stuff of self-righteousness, large talk, expansive rhetoric, and absolutely no substantive action whatever, and the lucky among them will have a sinecure within French academe and government, and the rest will sip coffee and talk darkly of a revolution they don't have the guts to effect. I'll be happy to apologize if they prove me wrong.
