Hollande and Sarkozy - two sides of the same worthless coin. For the French, it will be a loss to choose either. The Muslims supported Hollande, and the Neo-cons Sarkozy (both, from what I understand, are Jews and not true Frenchmen). Le Pen was the only true major French candidate, and she was destroyed by the media (although it is amazing with all that negative media, she almost got 20% of the vote - that is, the votes that managed to be counted).

@Momo:

That's completely wrong, FN is not fascist or nazi at all, it just doesn't want immigration, that's very far from fascism or nazism... Jean Marie Le Pen fought against the nazi regime during WW2. He was not a robber, he inherited from Lambert, even Lambert cousins recognized it at the end. Get yourself informed on him, even though he is xenophobic, he's not fascist or nazi at all.

You are calling RT readers to get rid of their childish religious conspirational fears, is your job disinformation?

Marine Le Pen is the leader of FN, a fascist-nazi party. She is the heiress of a millionary inheritance robber, Jean-Marie Le Pen. So much for the candidate of the poor.To some readers of RT, please grow up and forget your childish religious conspirational fears.

By the way RT, please stop repeating the West propaganda. Marine Le Pen is not a "far right" candidate, she is not from the right nor from the left, and she is not an extremist. This is thanks to this kind of propaganda in our media that she just got 18%. She wanted France out of the Eurozone and NATO, she wanted to stop immigration since we have almost 10% of unemployment and abrogate the 1973 law which forces the government to borrow money from the financial markets and not from the central bank (which means 40 billion dollars per year).

The perfect program... And now, we will get nothing...

Fa rewell independent France!

This was a presidential racism not race, the far right bandwagon was jumped on by every candidate except for 1. I think Sarkozy is a perfect figurehead for the french for his arrogance however, the French didn't bare the brunt of the Eurozone crisis which could just be due to luck but I take no credit from this man for keeping France afloat. Sarkozy's foreign affairs however are terrible and mimic American policy. I really wish western nations would stop using the US as a sort of "template" for how they should build and run their country as that "template" is far from ideal.

Sarkozy is not even a French man, he is of Hungarian descent.
And, I am happy to see him go, he was clingning to power and becoming authoritarian. It's time for fresh politicians in France, it's time for new ideas and new methods.

Sark ozy served his purpose well, now we need new leaders in a changing world.
His ancestors were Jews in Greece!  He`s the French Tony Blair.What do you expect in a Zionist United States of Europe, with a Zionist IMF money lending Ponzi scheme bankrupting us to keep Israel secure, and George Soros doing the social engineering?

Tomasz wrote in #19@Justin --- Of course you just need to make a "Zion" comment about me don't you? The idiots who post stuff like that, as well as bout jew slaves, neo-cons, Nazi collaborators, fascist pigs, etc. make RT seem like a very unreliable and stupid source for "news." Maybe that's why there are only 19 comments on this article so far, as people are being alienated by the stupid comments by the commentators on RT who always think there is a conspiracy about something........... .................... .................... .................... .................... .................... ...>Typical jew reply from the “ hasbara manual”. What you do:1-      You muddy the water, bring other target groups in the argument; Slaves, neo-cons, collaborators, fascist pigs.2-      Then threaten with a gag order to undermine the media source. In this case “RT”.3-     Attract sympathy by mentioning the WW2 “holocaust victims”. (You did not get to this stage this  time)In future zionist jew boy try new tactic as the world is getting sick of your winching.

"Here a Jew, there a Jew, everywhere a Jew Jew."You people are starting to sound like a broken record. With a limited history of freedom in Russia...when will you realize that you vote for what the person stands for and who he is, not what's their religion. You are blinded by an unsubstantiated hatred. You have spent way to long believing what your babuska said when you were on her knee. The middle ages are over...grow up.

@Cawa --- Go ahead, ignore me, but others know that what I am writing is true. Which is why, like I already said before, RT lost many commentators and viewers than it had even just a few months ago.
