The writer of this piece is an ignorant dope. How can anyone forget this Pinko loser?
You guys are all right about Mitterrand. Except he was no pinko- he was RED!
This article is a total hit piece on President Sarkozy, full of fake statistics and flat out lies. A love song to Marine Le Pen somehow seems the wrong tone to take. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
The “huge” “unprecedented” victory of Hollande over Sarko touted in the leftist MSM press in France, Europe and the US is a whopping 1.45%
The final vote count is:
Hollande 28.63 %
Sarkozy 27.18 %
Le Pen 17.90 %
Mélenchon 11.11%
Bayrou 9.13 %
These are the official final numbers, not the estimations in this and other articles.
As for Mitterrand, you are right about Rwanda. He is also responsible for bringing in all those immigrants from former French colonies in N Africa to work as cheap labor, and more importantly, to vote Socialist.
Now France is overwhelmed, with a stagnating economy, high unemployment, and a huge welfare state that Sarko has been trying to downsize for five years.
