German Elections: believers in power of positive thoughts (pls post them)

[hardrainfallin]

Tomorrow the German elections take place. If, as I believe, the removal of the rogue regime/s must be an international effort, we must see an electoral victory for Schröder and the SPD tomorrow (over Merkel, CDU)

(Merkel, die Ferkel: bad, bad little piggy, GO AWAY!)

This thread is for people who would like to post prayers or positive thoughts in that direction (of whatever denomination, and in whatever language)

Here is mine:

Religion: Ojibwe
Language: German

heute Nacht brennen in Chicago Kerzen für euch (ja, und für die Welt eigentlich)...morgen wird die kräftigste Adelfeder der ganzen Welt zum Einsatz gebracht (ganz weiss ist sie , und sehr gross, edel, vom Medizinmann aus Kanada) ... Mit Gedanken an Deutschland, das Land, das mir eigentlich soviel geschenkt hat....


Die fatale Femme Ferkel soll sich verpissen! Pfui! Poof! Weg damit.

1. Everything is thought. it is first of all.

2. I've been obsessed witht his election for weeks and I have

been very disappointed in the media coverage. FT, BBC, et al have been disgusting in their pro-Merkle spin.

I can't believe that the media has all framed this as merkl=growth and schroeder=stagnation.

And I especially can't believe this while I'm reading Sen's Development and Freedom which makes an excellent argument that conservative economic policies actually kill development by just about every measure (happiness, health, life expectancy, education, reduction of number of poor people) except incomes of the top 1%.

3. a voter speaks

Being a fairly typical product of American Public Education, I am geographically challenged, basically I don't have much of a clue about the rest of the world other than a few limited personal travel experiences. However my very much geographically knowledgeable German friend (even more so than regular well traveled Germans - as she has a Masters in the subject) - has this to say after several mails discussing the merits and her thoughts on the election:

"First time ever that I
will give my vote to the Social democrats and the
Greens - I just do not see Merkel and the Liberal
Democrats doing any better and I like the present
foreign affairs positions and the criticism against
Bush. And everybody elected will have to deal with our
5 million jobless citizens and the companies leaving
the country to find cheaper "human resources" in China
or elsewhere. I want to see them completing their
reforms and programs and in 4 years I will see better
if they were doing any good (and Bush is hopefully
gone as well). I think this will be a better time for
a change if we need one. "

4. It annoys me that Bush screws up the world

and it only helps conservatives who say that they'll provide a sorely needed change from the current governments that are suffering because of America.

5. I am hoping.

I did all I could. At least the polls suggest that we'll carry the district. I hope that we'll carry far more than predicted, though.

O god, I am really afraid.

6. Wie im vergangenen, kommt der Konservatismus (Faschismuskern) aus Bayern

Man muss ja sagen, dass schuld ist die RC-Kirche.

7. People vote according to their religion

in Southern Germany.

CDU and CSU traditionally are Catholic parties.

9. That might be one of the reasons I chose to stay

'up de Waterkant' during my time. The Mosel was about as far south as I could comfortably go; further and I became increasingly uneasy about the religiosity on display. I have to think it significant that Hitler got his start in Bayern and his first moves were into Austria and the Sudetenland: RC-majority populations that welcomed the Nazi message that in Hitler they had a Leader and saviour.

10. Count your blessings, dear, and thank God for that paper ballot!

Hang on to it. For dear life. ;)

8. Thank you. Seems to be working!

11. Here's hoping!!!

[enigma-e]

12. It helped! Seems as if Schroeder tied Merkel!

And what's more, my favorite German SOB Freeper quisling, Michael81Dus, is so saddened by the outcome that he inhaled an entire bottle of wine and starts ranting about how unfair the German voter is!

13. Don't stop NOW! Keep up the power of postitive thought...

it ain't over til the fat lady sings, that's what I say...

think LINKS!
