Well its the same here in the United States - many of those who claim they are the defenders of the poor - often mass great wealth at the expense of the poor.I believe the man is utter unscrupulous.

Take Jesse Jackson for an examble - there are many others, but he is the one that comes to mind right now.
I'd rather have a rich man fighting for the poor, than a rich man fighting for the rich.

A rich man fighting for the poor is a good thing. A man getting rich off the backs of the poor while claiming to be their champion is a bad thing.I'd rather have a rich man fighting for the poor, than a rich man fighting for the rich.

Precisely. Plus, it is likely that he came by some of his money with corruption.A rich man fighting for the poor is a good thing. A man getting rich off the backs of the poor while claiming to be their champion is a bad thing.
I bet he's not nearly as bad as most of our french politicians. I mean, we have Le Pen, Chirac, Fabius, Laguiller, Besancenot and a whole lot of others. I'm fairly sure they are all corrupted to no end, and all use populist and/or backward arguing to get elected.

Yeah, but in France, that´s normal I bet he's not nearly as bad as most of our french politicians. I mean, we have Le Pen, Chirac, Fabius, Laguiller, Besancenot and a whole lot of others. I'm fairly sure they are all corrupted to no end, and all use populist and/or backward arguing to get elected.
Doesn't look good....exit polls say that Lafontaine has 10% of the vote.

Sadly, that's true. I just read articles about the political situation in France from the International Herald Tribune and The New Yorkers, and I'm amazed because foreign journalists, unlike my fellow compatriots, understand what sort of crap is happening in my country.
