“With Europe’s economies plunging further into recession and as unemployment in the eurozone breaks record levels, voters demands for a new approach had finally become to great to ignore. “
What “new approach” would that be? These idiots have just bought themselves many decades of misery.

Deficit spending squanders capital and leads to poverty. Financial gimmickry will not produce real wealth. Austerity one way or the other is a reality.

Must be a Democrat talking point, seen something here locally declaring the same, to which we ask, “then why hasn’t any of stated intent of the Government Stimulus worked since Pelosi, Reid and Congressional Democrats started it in 2007?

The second [wing of the Left] is the highly educated intelligentsia, continues Gingrich. These are people of whom Ronald Reagan said it isnt what they dont know thats frightening, its what they know that isnt true. These are the people who believe that Castro is really okay, that Chávez is a pretty good guy, and that it was terrific that Ahmadinejad got a nice run last week and no one was mean to him in New York.

The article claims the French voted in the socialist because Sarkozy’s austerity wasn’t austere enough. To that I say, huh?

What will happen to them is that their credit ratings will be slashed, their ability to continue mindlessly borrowing will dry up and the welfare states they've built on unsustainable debt will collapse.

"Socialist Hollande is centrist too?"Of course, in Europe, where Socialism is the euphemistic norm, a leftist is a Commie, Greenie or Anarchist. A patriot is an extreme right winger or Nazi.
