MORE INSANE LEFTISM FROM SEGOLENE

IHT:

In a French presidential campaign with recurrent anti-capitalist undertones, the Socialist Party candidate, Ségolène Royal, took aim at banks Tuesday, accusing them of penalizing the poor with low interest rates on savings and high overdraft fees.

"It is now clear that banks are enriching themselves on the backs of the poorest," Royal said at a news conference, calling the situation a "scam."

YUP, THAT'S HOW THE RICH GOT THEIR MONEY... FROM THE POOR. MAKES LOTS OF SENSE. IF YOU'RE A LEFTIST IDEOLOGUE AND A MORON. THE POOR ARE POOR BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY. THEY DON'T EARN A LOT; THEY SAVE VERY LITTLE OF WHAT THEY EARN.

ECONOMIC GROWTH IS WHAT REDUCES POVERTY . AND ECONOMIC GROWTH OCCURS THROUGH TRADE LIBERALISM/GLOBALIZATION AND LOW TAXES.

THE LEFT IS MORE WEDDED TO THEIR ARCHAIC IDEOLOGY AND THE FAILED PILICIES OF THE PAST THAN REALLY HELPING THE POOR.

IF THEY REALLY WANTED TO HELP THE POOR THEN THEY WOULD BE FOR LOWER TAXES AND MORE FREE TRADE.

ROYAL WENT ON:

Banks should pay customers more interest on current accounts than the 0.5 percent to 3 percent common today, Royal said. They should also credit bank accounts on the day a transfer is made, and give every young person with a "project" a free €10,000 loan that would be guaranteed by the state.

IF SEGOLENE IS SO SURE BANKS COULD AFFORD TO DO THIS, THEN INSTEAD OF RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT OF FRANCE SHE SHOULD OPEN A BANK AND OFFER HIGHER RATES. WHY DOESN'T SHE - OR ANYONE ELSE DO IT? BECAUSE THEY WOULD GO OUT OF BUSINESS. IOW: SEGOLENE IS A FULL OF SHIT DEMAGOGUE - LIKE MOST LEFTIES.

HERE'S A SIGN SEGOLENE KNOWS SHE'S TANKING AT THE POLLS:

French Socialist presidential candidate Segolene Royal stepped up a verbal offensive against her right-wing opponent Nicolas Sarkozy on Tuesday, calling him a "liar" and asking whether he was fit to govern. Royal told Sarkozy on Sunday to stop insulting her after the two traded blows over security following a riot at a Paris station, but her remarks on Tuesday were her strongest yet about the former interior minister.

"Mr Sarkozy is a liar, and is a liar fit to become president of the republic?" Royal told Canal Plus television.

DESPERATION IS UGLY - EVEN IN SEGO!

AND THEN THERE'S THIS ITEM:

François Bayrou’s bid for the French presidency ­suffered a fresh setback on Sunday after the only government minister belonging to his centrist UDF party came out in support of the right-wing candidate, Nicolas Sarkozy.

Mr Bayrou, who promises a left-right coalition bridging traditional political divides, has been the surprise “third man” of the election campaign, threatening to upset the expected run-off between Mr Sarkozy and the socialist candidate, Ségolene Royal.

But Gilles de Robien, the education minister and Mr Bayrou’s campaign director during the 2002 election, said in an interview with the Journal du Dimanche he was changing sides...

IF THIS STUFF KEEPS UP, THEN SARKO SHOULD WIN PRETTILY HANDILY! I HOPE AND PRAY SO!
