bartis_ervin Re: Elections :) 19.09.05, 13:55 I think they lack originality. You have the face, the slogan and the party. Even the slogans are very similar. I think Kaczynski at least tried to do something with putting a (his?) family on the poster. It's not original but at least it broke the usual line. I was very happy to be last year in Romania since it was election year. The candidate who eventually won the elections had such an original campaign that it was a joy to watch his spots on TV. If you are interested check: www.basescu.ro You can find posters made by "fans", posters which actually were used, online games starring Basescu, and it really worths to check out the "Guerilla digitala" part.

That guy collects speech impediments like other people collect Pokemon cards. He would be a kompomitacja. His catchphrase is that he's gonna make Poland a place we can be proud of. I wonder how proud Poles will feel when he gets up and starts howking and spitting instead of talking properly in serious international fora. Even Lepper has better diction than Tusk, and Lepper talks like an imbecile. My support is with Kaczynski, and has been from the start. I would have liked Rokita as Premier, and LK as president. That isn't going to happen. I don't want two brothers in power as that is a poor control over democracy, but I do want one of them in one of the two top seats. I would certainly want a PO Finance Minister, just to keep things real, though. Odpowiedz Link

bartis_ervin Re: Elections :) 09.10.05, 21:21 I don't care about speech impediments. And I don't think that he would be obciach adressing an international fora. Definitely Tusk would have my vote. He is not perfect, but he is far the best choice. Kaczynski won't be popular adressing international fora if he would keep up his style: "Homosexuals will not be able to become teachers, but we will not persecute them." And let's not mention him doing politics with Belarus or Russia.. In general, I think that it is a good idea for moderate conservatives and liberals to govern together, but PiS is going more and more right. And now I think about Marcinkiewicz's sentences in Newsweek. EU is also watching them, let's say with critical eyes. serwisy.gazeta.pl/swiat/1,67429,2955609.html This is what I've found in Polish, but for e.g. the Hungarian media (even trhe rightish) is pretty hard on Kaczynski. Kaczysnki wouldn't "keep things real" if I can use your expression. Just see all this fake thing with dath penalty.. I wonder if somebody explained to Polish people that or death penalty or CoE and EU.. Ervin Odpowiedz Link

Oh well, now that he's won, at least I'll get to pay a bunch less in tax in the future. Yeah, like I believe it. > And here's me teaching Poles about how they should learn from foreigners and > not discriminate people eg.because the have a speech impediment!!!!!!!!!!!!! I expect the makers of Elmer Fudd, who are all foreigners, will teach them precisely that. Odpowiedz Link

Definitely Tusk would have my vote. He > is not perfect, but he is far the best choice. Well, the electorate seems to have chosen him. I didn't get to vote, as being a foreigner I am only good enough to pay the taxes and not to decide how they get spent, so in my eyes the whole thing is a travesty of true democracy anyway, in where there is "no taxation without representation". > > Kaczynski won't be popular adressing international fora if he would keep up his > style: "Homosexuals will not be able to become teachers, but we will not > persecute them." If homosexuals keep their sexual doings to themselves and doing force it down other people's throats with their proud marches, and what not, then we would not be able to persecute them even if we wanted to. A child has a right to a mother and a father, and once a pair of gay men has adopted a child, then that child is not in the market for other adoptive parents any more, and will never know what it is to have a mother who doesn't have big hands and a falsetto voice. >And let's not mention him doing politics with Belarus or Russi > a.. > I think he is PRECISELY what is needed for Belarus and Russia. Those people only speak the language of strong politics, and laugh at those who cannot match like with like. > In general, I think that it is a good idea for moderate conservatives and > liberals to govern together, but PiS is going more and more right. > And now I think about Marcinkiewicz's sentences in Newsweek.

We do not exist to do what the likes of France and Belgium want us to. I hope the Hungarians never forget the spirit of Arpad, and never bow the knee to the western European consensus. > Kaczysnki wouldn't "keep things real" if I can use your expression.

I wonder if somebody explained to Polish > people that or death penalty or CoE and EU.. > Somebody needs to explain to the EU and the CoE what democracy is and what a referendum is, and suggest they might like to have a EU-wide one on the following points: 1. Whether the people who are in the EU at today's date ('we')would like Turkey in the EU 2. Whether we would like to continue with the death penalty 3. Whether we would like judges of High Courts to be elected in the same way politicians are. Why don't we get the chance to make our voice get heard on those matters? Why are others making those decisions for us when they were never elected on the back of a debate on those issues in the first place? Odpowiedz Link
