BERLIN (Reuters) – Germans vote in three regional state elections on Sunday, with Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives at risk of setbacks that would weaken her just as she tries to push through a deal to resolve Europe’s migrant crisis.
Migration is the hot topic, as worry how Germany will cope with an influx, totaling more than a million last year alone, that has come to define Merkel’s leadership, and on which she has staked her reputation.
That picture reminds me of Marty Feldman.
A former east german socialist party member … gee what could go wrong.
No wonder obama and merkel are buddies.
I didn’t realize she was considered a “conservative”. That revelation, combined with my observations of the last few US presidential races leads me to the conclusion that this word is now essentially useless as a political term.
Methinks the old East German hag’s got the middle eastern rapist vote sewed up.
Europe’s classification of “conservative” and “liberal,” “right” and “left” are usually the polar opposite of ours. It’s screwy. In this case, cato has it right: a former member of the East German bloc. All you need to know.
I hope her party loses BIG TIME.
@mrhanoverfist
she’s going for the coveted beatle vote.
Was it worth uniting East and West Germany just to end up with Merkel as the boss?
DTC,
I’m personally glad East and West Germany re-united. . . got a great deal on an East German Makarov.
About time for her to retreat to the bunker and well, you know….
Merkel’s going down faster than a Stuka with busted dive brakes.
Hang her from a lamp post and …
wait … that was the Italians … sorry …
Uncle Al, damn good sir. Damn good
She probably figures importing these animals increases her chances of getting laid without paying for it. . . typical socialist.
Thanks, CC! (-:
