Is this what you want for America??? If so, put a Marxist, socialist, liberal Democrat in the White House.

This is very adverse news. The voters of Spain will have to live with the consequences.

So in other words, this guy won re-election despite the fact his country is going to hell. Amazing, is it not, the lure of socialism. Even as the people are being flushed down the toilet they still think they are just going for a swim at the beach. It isn’t until they hit the sewage treatment plant that they realize exactly the trip they have been taken on.

With 92 percent of the vote counted, Zapatero's Socialist party had 43.8 percent compared to 40.1 percent for the conservative Popular Party, according to the Interior Ministry. Opposition conservatives conceded defeat, but took solace in the fact that they picked up more parliamentary seats than the Socialists.

You have to wonder if 5% of the voters wasted their votes on a write-in candidate because the conservative Popular Party candidate was not "conservative enough".

Looks like Spain is “going Spain” again.

Sounds like another clintonoid is claiming a “mandate” with 43.8% of the vote. The people of Spain better not be acting surprised when they start getting their heads chopped off.

“The AMERICAN people have spoken clearly and decided to start a new era,” OBAMA told euphoric supporters
Substitute, this is what we have in store for us come election day. Lazy Americans looking for a hand out, sacrificing thier safety, country and thier way of life. What a shame how far we have come and really how far we have fallen. recovery? Impossible, when you see the mindless followers that ask no questions demand no answers and only hear what they will be handed for little or no effort or sacrifice at all. disgustingly shameful for a once great nation!

[Maelstorm]

This is horrible but not it is hardly a big win for the socialists. The percentages show almost an even division. I wouldn’t be surprised to find that the last minute drama was planned by the socialists to stall the conservatives in reclaiming the government.

[tdewey10]

43% to 40% is a ‘clear endorsement’ ? Ah how the AP loves it some socialism.

And yes — all of you who don’t vote for McCain in November and thus help usher in an Obama/Hilary presidency can look at what is happening in Spain for what’ll happen.

[oblomov]

Spain is walking Spanish down the hall...

[FFranco]

Spain hasn’t been the same since Franco’s death in 1975.

In Vermont, in America a socialist, Bernie Sanders won election over a conservative with 65% of the vote to 32% for the conservative.
The party of socialism won the last US congressional elections with 52% of the vote.

It is not so much what we want for America - it is that the school sytems, and the media, have sold the ideas to young people for 20+ years and we now have people under 45 thinking exactly like the liberals - government aid is better than personal responsibility.
