Boneheads Boneheads Boneheads!
Le Pen is a fascist, there is no doubt about that.
If he gets into office, it won't be Jews or Arabs who are going to suffer... it will be democracy. You can kiss the République Française goodbye.
There is a huge amount a variables that propelled this guy to the second round.
This man has used fear and hatred as his muscle for over 30 years. And lately the whole country has suffered a barrage of this so-called fear and hatred that has been fueled by the media and brought to light in a very badly run election by the politicians. Le Pen fested on it like a pig in shit and his electorate followed him to the urnes whereas the left wing and right wing were just as divided as ever and this time they shot themselves in the foot.
The turn out of voters was a record low. The French political class has a lot to be blamed for this. Especially the party programs that left the voters indifferent. The overall feeling yesterday was that it was going to be Chirac and Jospin in the second round whatever happened. Well, everyone sort of conveniently forgot Le Pen, thinking that he might do his percentage and then shut his trap for the next few months.
Everyone was wrong and unfortunately, we'll be hearing a lot from him in the next 2 weeks.
Whatever the turnout, I think the most justified thing said was from Dominique Stauss-Kahn:"The political class perhaps deserves what happened to it, but the French people don't deserve Jean-Marie Le Pen".
No shit!
On Sunday we, the French people, fucked up and hopefully May the 5th we won't decide to slide further into decadence and the end of our democracy.
VOILA TRUTH!!!
