		<description>No politician has ever graced the executive pose in politics with no ridicule and blames, etc.  While it&#039;s not existing in most political setting, transparency should be stressed in all kinds of governance. I believe that there&#039;s nothing wrong to stand as a leader of a  socially conservative constituency. It depends on working out the right things to do to be proficient enough in the title.</description>

		<description>Libertas are stinkingly dirty and court extremists in a cynical attempt to gain political power. The question is who is paying for all this rabble to do what they do?
Good work, keep on blogging !!!</description>

		<description>The European Parliament may be elected, but it is a bizarre Parliament indeed, as one which does not have the right to initiate legislation. A parliament in name only, a Potemkin village of a parliament, not a true parliament as one is accustomed to encounter in the free world. The directives (Orwellian sounding word) that the EU adopts, rather than laws, are initiated behind closed doors by the two unelected bodies at the true helm of the EU, those being the Commission and the Council. Even pseudodemocratic is too good and kind of a word.</description>

		<description>Declan Ganley and Libertas are clearly worrying a lot of people judging from all the attention they are getting. I&#039;m a bit puzzled by this as the polls don&#039;t seem to show Libertas will do very much at the European elections (someone correct me if I&#039;m wrong).

If the Britsh Conservatives mean what they say then that is more of a concern as they are likely to be the governing party in one of the largest states in the EU and say they will form the backbone of what looks rather like an EU sceptics group. I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if Libertas end up joining. Hopefully they don&#039;t mean what they say; the pre-election period is a strange time for politics.</description>

		<description>Will the euobserver ever publish positive things about parties &amp; individuals that do not support the Lisbon Treaty, are against further integration or would like a major review of the EU? Apparently not, in which case this article is just yet more propaganda prior to an important election.

Who pays for the euobserver? Taxpayers of individual countries perhaps? Me? The euobserver is apparently here only to push a pro-&quot;ever growing union&quot; agenda and throw mud at those that are sceptical. Disappointing.</description>

		<description>&#039;Can’t be lower than what the unelected folks in Brussels are up to.&#039;

Yes, like the unelected European Parliament.</description>

		<description>Can&#039;t be lower than what the unelected folks in Brussels are up to. Remember, the book of Proverbs (27:6) says that the wounds of a friend are faithful, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

The only problem with Libertas at this point is that they do not realise that they are up against a pseudodemocracy.</description>

		<description>Voltaire was saying: &quot;keep lying, some of it will always remain&quot;. I don&#039;t mind a good debate on the topics and facts (like the ones brought by &quot;Freeborn John&quot; in these blogs). There is some intellectual reward to this, even if it is not an easy debate. But the mud slinging and the total lies that are spread by some parties and some media who would like to be called &quot;free press&quot; are frankly disgusting.</description>
