(AyPee) With 99 percent of votes counted, the biggest vote-winner in Finland's parliamentary elections was the conservative National Coalition Party, part of the current center-right government and a strong advocate for European integration.
But with 43 seats it had only one more than the opposition Social Democrats, while the nationalist True Finns gained 33 seats for 39 in the 200-member Parliament, the official preliminary results showed. These folks sound a lot like the TEA Party. Trunks should take note. I doubt the TP would ever run a ticket, but Trump could be a third party spoiler. At any rate, others are fed up with their betters.
The anti-immigration and staunchly euroskeptic True Finns oppose bailouts for Portugal and other cash-strapped European countries.

Oh, the bogyman card. The old guard Trunks offer nothing but the same old, same old. Their position is to demonize anyone who doesn't fit the RINO model. We've seen it in Florida and Alaska [talk to me about WHO split the vote there]. Now nationally. The only reason the vote will be split will be by the entrenched refusing to provide real leadership of which they are sadly deficient in. Don't want Trump then you damn well better provide a real alternative rather than something just 'Lite'.

Before he decided on this stunt political run, Trump didn't even qualify as a RINO because he was an activist democrat.
If YOU can't find a candidate who didn't give money to Harry Reid in the last two years, well, ask not whom the RINO bell tolls for, it tolls for thee.

Thing if the Republican establishment puts up a RINO or Donk Lite, why even bother going to the polls? It's just a game between the Inner Party and Outer Party to us prols.

I personally don't support Trump. He's P T Barnum, who was also a business man. My problem is that Trump is getting the air time because of the abject failure of the 'old guard'. If the establishment just chuckles this off and not recognize its a very serious wake up call, then the non-socialist political elements of America had better clean house in the Trunk party quickly this year.
"I rented him a piece of land. He paid me more for one night than the land was worth for two years, and then I didn't let him use the land," Trump boasted. "That's what we should be doing. I don't want to use the word 'screwed', but I screwed him."
Bravo. A bigger asshole than the one we've got is just what we need. And better yet, a guy who'll be an asshole not to us, but on our behalf. I pray he will not pull another Perot, but watching The Donald wax the floor with debate Obama would be fantastic!
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
