I have been an Aznar admirer for a long time.
Spanish politics appear from this distance to be about as split as that in the US. The train station terrorist incident was used to bludgeon the Anzar conservatives in a similar way that Hurricane Katrina was used against the Bush Administration.
Aznar is absolutely right about obama and global warming. They are both costly frauds perpetrated on America.
I was in Espana when Aznar received his first outright majority in the Cortes. It was the first time that the People's Party would control the Cortes without relying on other center-right parties to line up the Spanish Cortes.
The throngs of People's Party supporters at the Plaza Colon on election night were in a state of absolute frenzy, especially when Aznar was introduced to the adoring crowd.
