In the Netherlands, Geert Wilders’ far right Freedom Party (PVV) appears to be the biggest winner of the European Union elections.

Early analyses of the results are saying that the PVV, which stood for the first time in EU elections, has won four seats. The Christian Democrats, which remained the biggest party, lost two of its seven seats, and the Labour Party dropped from seven to four seats. The conservative VVD party and D66 both took three seats. The Green Left, Socialist Party and the Christian Union-SGP coalition won two seats each.

The real news is that less than 20% of the populace supports any one out of seven different parties.

This herd of cats frightens no one, and will accomplish exactly nothing...

Great News. The WEST WILL RISE AGAIN! Eject the muslim hordes, end open borders, restore language and culture.

We look at trendlines. The European "right" (as it is currently defined) is obviously on the march with the Leftwingtards getting crushed.

At the same time a LOW TURNOUT always means a rejection by supporters of their own party's candidates. We just went through that again where Republican voters didn't bother to show up due to their rejection of the party's candidate for President. This sent a message to the party as a whole by reducing their numbers in Congress (in both houses).

It's kind of a stupid way to punish your own politicians because "those other guys" will be even more corrupt, more wasteful, and if there's a limit to stupidity, they (the other guys) will certainly exceed it.

By now you've probably heard that Obama and the Democrats have stolen more for their friends, wasted more money than in the history of the republic, all Regimes combined, and are well on their way to rewrite the very definition of stupidity. No reason for you to be exempt.

Bush gave money to the treasury/Banker bandits on the way out after give fortunes to the war profiteers. Obama continues the program on the way in. McCain agreed with both. And you complain about Republicans not voting? You know a better way?

[muawiyah]

You know very well that if we had Republicans in charge of both houses, it wouldn't matter who was President. He or she would just be along for the ride.

It's exceedingly stupid to NOT VOTE AT ALL. It's very easy to leave your Presidential choice blank and vote for members of the House and Senate.

If that is takes too much thought process for your typical Republican voter, then all is lost. I'm ordering more guns and ammo!

The trendline is whoever is in power when a recession hits is thrown out. Which isn't a trendline at all, it is just noise.

[JasonC]

How about if instead I complain about anti-business knuckledraggers polluting my party? Don't vote, don't talk, don't walk, don't run, just get your populist envious drivel out of my sight.
