Raised fist welcomes Spain’s new anti-war PM

Amid the heady joy in parliament on Friday, after MPs had overwhelmingly approved his candidacy as prime minister (only the defeated Popular Party voted against) an action of one man in the visitors’ gallery was revealing: as applause rippled round the chamber, Juan Rodriguez, Zapatero’s snowy-haired father, could not resist raising his fist in the old socialist salute, a sight not seen in parliament for many years.

Pressed to clarify his position by Mariano Rajoy, the opposition Popular Party leader, Zapatero responded: “You ask what we will do on Iraq? We will remove Spain from an illegal and unjust war.”

"Zapatero endorses Kerry!"

==

Actually Zapatero IS on record saying that he hopes and wants Kerry to win.


"The Spanish opposition leader in the general election this Sunday, the socialist José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, said yesterday: "I think Kerry will win. I want Kerry to win."

Zapatero and Kerry, birds of a feather -- which spells socialist.

They say John Zapatero Kerry often awakens from dreams in which he's been elected with his arm raised in that old socialist salute.

You Americans are hated by many, but loved by others…Do not buckle under European pressure and do not go the way of the socialistic Spaniards. Those great Europeans who gave us the Spanish Inquisition in 1478, Napoleon I Emperor of the French 1769 – 1821, World war I 1914-1918, Hitler and World War II 1938-45 and the Holocaust. People around the world want to see you fail and the biggest failure would be the election of 'Hanoi John' Kerry. It is better to be feared, hated and strong rather than hated, weak and not feared. The world needs a strong policeman. Without you we are nothing…believe me when I say that I love America and wished I were one…oh well, at least I have a free Medicare system where I have to wait 7 hours in an emergency room to see a doctor. Our military buys second hand submarines with rusted holes. I get taxed about 52 % on my income that goes into our GREAT medical system, just don’t get sick up here, you might just drop dead. What a great liberal/socialist government we have here. Just venting… We love America, we vacation in America, and we spend our money in America. I love Mr. Bush, he will NOT let you nor your children down.

"Kerry helped lead and organize a rally of hundreds of Vietnam vets who marched on the Capitol Mall in Washington with many displaying the Communist clenched fist salute."

Bin Laden's war against the US, probably.

Thanks for your support and friendship over the border. It's horrible to see the ugly head of socialism rising in Europe as it has for these past few decades.

No Mr Zapatero, you have become the bitch of Al Qaeda. Be prepared to put out for the terrorists whenever they call on you. If you need help later don't call us........
