Far-right candidate Marine Le Pen won 18.2 to 20 percent in today's first-round of the French presidential election, official estimates said, the highest ever score for her anti-immigrant party.
The estimate after polls closed at 8:00pm was higher than previous party leader Jean-Marie Le Pen's 2002 score of 17 percent that allowed him to go through to the run-off, and was double his 10 percent in 2007

So it appears there has been an growth in popularity in far right parties in Europe. I guess the recession is an factor due to this.

The people are waking up to understand that socialism doesn't work and they are in deep trouble and things have to change back to responsible thinking.

Socialism is a slow way to die for any country and will never be successful. That is why Obama the Stupid is inept as a president.

If that were the direction of Obama and the Dems, I would be worried. But it isn't, no matter what your overlords tell you to think.

Stop stifling the corporations with high taxes to give to the spongers . Obama the King of welfare recipients knows where his votes come from. Like julia on his website.. I will give you freebees and that is how he gets his votes.

If you don't know the spending this president has done, and his 124 campaign fund raisers, and his green job failures you must not know anything about this president. You uphold a failure.

Problem is that he hasn't been able to get Congress to do enough spending to get us out of this mess quicker. But a slow way out, is still a way out.
