Mea Culpa!
For the record, I've been saying for months that the French were too corrupt to actually allow their voters to say "Non."
I was wrong. I'm actually glad about that fact, though (at least in this instance).
actually I am inclined to believe the french politicians thought the vote would be close so they "adjusted" to overcome a close vote. A outright stuffing over the 10% would have been too easily exposed.
Ah, sweet defeat, eh? Indeed, sometimes it is good to be wrong.
re: France, this from an earlier post, once more, with feeling:
"There are many GOOD people in France, the EU-friendly MSM stifles Conservative voices there too.
I suggest that the French again 'storm the Bastille' and throw the Derriere out on his Chirac, or vice versa. Let him eat votes."
