MADRID -- Spain's ruling Socialist party has suffered a bruising defeat to conservatives in the municipal leg of elections and looked headed to suffer big losses in regional government races as well.

No, they all had jobs when Franco was in power.
Another bunch of socialists runs out of other peoples money to spend on windmills. Something poetic about that. Remember this is the only bunch of folks who had a civil war and both sides lost-—wound up with a dicklesstator for 3, 4 decades. Maybe they’ll get together and start another crusade-—it must be the Jews fault? Or maybe they’d like to invade the western hemisphere again? They can’t even run a good bullfight anymore so there’s nothing to do but watch them learn the hard way——sorta like US.
They damn well better if they know what's good for them.

Appears we have a global “Conservative Spring” happening!
My big hope is that with municipal governments out of socialist hands, it would be harder for socialists to steal the national election next year.
The socialist are like AQ in that they try and get money any way they can from evil ones, so it will take some hefty nads and smarts to keep the commies away—send them back to whence they came. Secure our borders. Farm our land, feed our people. Drill for our oil. No more China crap. No more dependency on other lands for oil.
They can not just show up. They will have to do there job of saving America and the land of the free—FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE FREE, not the dems, not the muzzies, not the commies. They want to rule everything about our lives. NO WAY!

And socialism fails one more time. Pity, they did such a good job of sucking up to Al Qaeda.
No terrorist attach to rile the sheeple this time.
Not sure what your point is. Franco was a big government socialist.
Isolationism will only work if the stockholders of US companies force the upper echelons to cut back on their huge salaries, and bring the jobs back from overseas that were sent there so they could overpay themselves without angering the stockholders.
Personal example: Ten years ago or thereabouts my GE stock was selling around $50 a share. Then it dropped all the way down to $5 in 2008. Since then it has risen and is hovering around $20. In 2010 I studied my GE financial report and saw that for the previous 3 years the top 7 executives had salaries of from $11 to $22 million. There was NO dip at all for 2008. Then they had the gall to recommend that I and all the other stockholders vote AGAINST a Taxholders Advisory on Executive Compensation. Needless to say I ignored their advice!!! If you want to see how bad it is, at Google enter Forbes CEO Compensation.
Oh for goodness sakes Mr john 123.
If Franco was a big government socialist what on earth were the Stalin backed Communists that he literally fought to the death?
Did you live in Spain when Franco was alive???? I did!!!! He was not a socialist????? Dictator yes, socialist no!!!!
Generalisimo Franco
A man who led a revolution against a Communist cabal and left the country with a constitutional monarchist government was "a big government socialist"?
Really???!!!
The True Finns won big gains in Finland a few weeks back, going from a marginal party to third place. Their vow that they would vote NO on any further bailouts meant that the other parties joined together to keep them out of the ruling coalition.
Now Spain. Latest AP
In what Spanish media said was the worst performance on record by the Socialist Party in local and regional elections, the numbers reflecting the loss were stunning: the conservative Popular Party won at the municipal level by about two million votes, compared to 150,000 in its win in 2007, and in 13 regional governments that were up for grabs, Zapatero's party lost in virtually all of them.The socialists lost in the municipal and state elections, with national elections next year.One was Castilla-La Mancha in central Spain, where the Socialists have always held power. The Socialists also lost bastions like the town halls in Barcelona and Seville. The conservatives padded their majorities in Madrid and Valencia, in the latter even though the president is under investigation for corruption. Several other Socialist-controlled regional governments also fell. Spain's electoral map turned largely blue - the color of the Popular Party.
I am for it. Bring the Military home and close the borders while we rebuild America. Cut out the Global Trade Scam. We traded our jobs for nothing so the Global Companies could make money. We do not need the WTO, Nafta, UN, Or any Globaloney.
