Hi GayPatriot.Net,

Did you see that Nicolas Sarkozy’s rival may have supported independence for the U.S. Territory of Puerto Rico at Harvard University (during her recent trip to the United States)?

Will you comment on that and the possible effect or connection it may have on the Democratic primaries scheduled for the island on June 1st, 2008?

I don’t know where you live but there’s a lot of reduction of labor forces here and none of these jobs are minimum wage. Far from it. This is a result of the mortgage crisis and not based on anything Congress has done lately. A recession is on the way and everyone knows it.

Humm guess start up jobs for non voting teenagers doesn’t matter to the Democrat Congress.

Nor is improving the lives of the “working poor” they pretend to give a damn about. However, what does matter is lubing up the labor unions for another go ’round.

I noted as well the historic low ratings for the Democrat Congress. I thought the 11% might have beena misprint. GW Bush at triple the approval ratings of the Pelosi Reid cabal is great news. I heard an expert say today that the July August employment bad news was primarily due to the Democrat Congress raising the minimum wage at the end of July. The employment reports showed record low employment for teenagers afterwards. Humm guess start up jobs for non voting teenagers doesn’t matter to the Democrat Congress. Maybe it was the parents of those teenagers who answered the pollsters questions however. hehe

We are planning a European vacation for next year. Originally to skip Paris. But now that the French aren’t so anti USA, it looks like Paris then Italy. Funny how economics seems to be such a marvelous motivator of human beings. Unless you are a leftist. hehe

“If al-Qaeda’s success is as much propaganda and influencing Western politics as it is car bombs, I believe the Islamic terror movement suffered a serious blow with the election of Sarko.”

Indeed. It was burning cars in St-Denis and other suburbs that in part elected Sarkozy.

France and the United States have so much in common, including mutual envy. But rather than a ‘wait-and-see’ attitude, I embrace the hope that he represents something we haven’t seen in France in a very, very long time: Courage.

I doubt he’ll pan out to be a Tony Blair, much less a Margaret Thatcher… Still, I agree with your conclusions on his potential importance.

He gets top billing even over Al Qaeda declaring “war” on Pakistan!

By the same people desperately trying to bury Hillary’s money laundering service and as much as possible on Iraq.

I’m not sure it’s fair to compare Hillary to Royal… Royal was definitely crazy and demagogue-ish in a way Clinton only ever flirts with.

Aside for gil - Hey, here's a good listing of everything you're still missing on the Scott Beauchamp matter - that is, everything The New Republic is still NOT telling you. Read it. Study it. Evaluate it logically. Repeat, until absorption of new information occurs.

Things are beginning to look up in Europe with Sarkozy in France and Merkel in Germany. If only Berlosconi can return in Italy and the Partido Popular recapture Spain, wave of pro-American sentiment will sweep across the continent. Maybe Dubya will end his term in glory. He´s doing better than Congress, with their 11% approval they have to look up to see G.W. with his 34%.

We can hope for a French Margaret Thatcher, but we need to see Sarkozy under pressure before we can give him such high praise. Remember that when he was first elected, Jacques Chirac was also supposed to be a new, pro-American French leader. . .

OJ was just charged!
Is the case solid?
Was it a set-up?
He gets top billing even over Al Qaeda declaring “war” on Pakistan!
Who has time for France politics?
Further,
I doubt that you could label Sarkozy a conservative.
He appears to follow the Third Way philosophy.

Let’s hope. Unfortunately, it doesn’t sound like Sarkozy has gone much beyond the symbolic, yet.

The Wall Street Journal has a good editorial on Sarkozy today, as well.
