He sounds like Reagan!
Democracy: French voters were presented with a clear choice in their weekend election: a socialist blast from the stagnant past versus a dynamic conservative who promised a vibrant future. No contest, really.
Nicolas Sarkozy, who by French standards will be the most conservative president since World War II, easily beat his socialist rival Segolene Royal, 53.2% to 46.8%.......continued

don't get your hopes up; he's not the conservative that his enemies make him out to be (and doesn't anyone look conservative next to a socialist?). he'd be a democrat if he was in the US, and many analysts consider him a neoliberal--the neocon derisions from his opponents were to try to equate him to bush.
I didn't say he WAS Reagan, i said he sounds like him. I'm sure he would be to the left of even hillary if he were here, but the point is that he's way to the right of anything they've had over there for a long time. It doesn't affect me one way or the other except that it's better for them and maybe.....MAYBE...... we have a traditional ally back......MAYBE!
I still think they're a bunch of cheese eating surrender monkeys but you never know. Look what happened here, we had a socialist, pussy president and the country wasn't happy so we elected Reagan and he turned the whole ship around. It could happen there......Maybe?
Viva Le Pen!

I got into an extensive ( read: drunken) debate with a frog some chick brought to my Saturday Karaoke Extravaganza and the only two points I conceded were...
Jerry Lewis
and the need for some la reguliere action.
...although I was close to caving on the Chimay Rouge vs Sam Adams beer-off, but then again since its a Trappist Belgium Beer to begin with and the fact that I can buy 3 Sams for every Chimay it wasnt really that close (ok its a pretty good beer) but save the cork for the bubbly and give me an old school sixer in tin cans and a pocket knife everyday of the week says this red blooded redneck hilljack.
Conservative in Europe is like a moderate Democrat here. But Sarkozy is hot and he's going to get mummified to be a consort for Miss C's tomb and her afterlife.
