Re: You may have missed this, but the german candidate who got the most votes likes Bush...

In the same line of thought, all European pols who cast themselves as pro-Bush evangelists --namely, Angela Merkel, Nicolas Sarkozy, José Maria Aznar, Philip Dewinter, Gianfranco Fini,...-- are, at the same time, vehemently opposed to Turkey joining the European Union... How come? Do they merely blurt out loud what the US administration secretly smiles on?

Correction:

Oops! I was wrong about Signor Fini --sounds like he's the only right-wing, pro-Bush, pro-Israel leader who openly supports Turkey's EU bid....

Asked whether Turkey should be allowed into the EU, Mr. Fini said “absolutely, but with some caution”. He warned that “before worrying about the consequences of Turkey's entry in the EU, let's think of the consequences if Turkey does not enter the EU. We hand over Turkey to Islamic fundamentalism”.

Goes to show you...there is no accounting for taste.

By the way, she only won 35% of the vote...I guess Germany is even more divided that we are.

LOL!

Another guy who got off his lithium right in time for the late evening TV meeting of the party leaders on election day.

Even the leftist "Suddeutsche Zeitung" called them "Trickdemokraten" on today's front page!
