No, Chirac wasn't sure to win. Especially since he's involved in so many affairs (corruprion affairs). France is weird. There was 16 candidates. But a lot of people didn't vote because it was a sunny week-end and everybody thought the second turn would be CHirac versus Jospin. That seemed so obvious that only extremists voted to make their candidates gain some more votes.Americans know LePen because he said that the Shoah, the holocaust was "just a detail in WWII" (a 6 million people execution, but a detail though) and that there's no clear evidence of the existence of gas chambers.
Also, he's the guy who always plays the martyr and tells everyone there are plots everywhere. He's a friend of Saddam Hussein although he can't stand arabs in our country.
This one-eyed guy has always been the same hatred fueling bastard. An ex paratrooper.
The regreted witty and so smart comic Pierre Desproges once said "There's more compassion in the eye of a dog when it's shaking his tail than in Le Pen's tail/dick (in french, 'tail' is another slang word for 'dick') when he's shaking his eye.
Also, he's always using WW2 german words to describe things, showing he's fascinated by the 3rd Reich. When you see his face he has the same aching expressions (as if the words he's shouting were so violent they hurt him) as Hitler.
He's the perpetual ranting guy. It's prolly why people who wanted to protest against a very humdrum electoral campaign voted for him.
He's definetely the evil guy. Even you Paul couldn't make him blush .
If he is elected his first deeds would be to withdraw France from Europe. No more Euros. Back to the Francs currency, fewer exchange with other countries.
When AIDS hit the headlines back in 1984-85 he suggested we put all the people with AIDS in camps so they wouldn't contaminate others. Nice.
