		<description>Just like the cold war when everyone who didn’t agree with the U.S. was either a communist or a communist sympathizer. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.toki.info.tr&quot; title=&quot;toki&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;toki&lt;/a&gt; This poor crazy guy spent half a decade being tortured because a bunch

		<description>Evil Spaniard: 

I do not plan to further address your asisine comments; half of them do not even make sense. 

But one final shot: why should I be posting here in Spanish? If I wanted to do that, I would go to a Spanish blog site.

Finally, you just like to nit pick what posters write, without providing any relevant information. You probably should restrict yourself to Spanish sites where you might be better understood?

Take care no, and good luck, you probably need it!</description>

For what it is worth to you, my friend, folks live overseas for various reasons, none of which should concern you! And, I certainly don’t live here because I was mistreated in the USA!&lt;/em&gt;

I&#039;m not your friend. BTW, you realize you&#039;re using the exact same verbal mannerisms than McCain?

&lt;em&gt;Your deduction from my post that I am a Republican clearly shows what you DO NOT know of Democrats and Republicans, OR your understanding of the English language is as bad as Zapatero’s. No one needs to “slime Zapatero.” He does a pretty damn good job of that himself! You can check with the American Embassy in Madrid if you doubt I am from the USA.&lt;/em&gt; 

Probably Zapatero hasn&#039;t a great command of English, but boy, Bush is a riot, isn&#039;t? Nu-Ku-Larr. And the constant backtrackings of McCains over his own declarations? That&#039;s a laugh, for sure! He&#039;s the Deciderer II.

BTW, you claim to live in Spain, but have&#039;nt uttered a word in Spanish. Is your knowledge of the idiom so dim that you can&#039;t even understand what is going around you? Are your only sources of information right wing papers? Or foreing ones? Or both?

&lt;a href=&quot;http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/slime&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Slime&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;em&gt;5. to cover or &lt;strong&gt;smear&lt;/strong&gt; with or as if with slime. &lt;/em&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/smear&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Smear&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;em&gt;4. to sully, vilify, or soil (a reputation, good name, etc.).&lt;/em&gt;

&quot;To slime&quot;, yes.

&lt;em&gt;Your last comment is simply trash and does not even warrant a reply.

This guy is so badly treated here that he prefers to live here than in the USA. Logical

Either you’re a Republican posing as Independent, or you’re no American at all. You sound far more like a PP rightwinger trying to slime Zapatero in foreing blogs.

BTW, do you believe that corporations like Sony, Walt Disney, etc asking for the taxpayer money have less influence in the USA than in Spain? Where have been more Police raids in homes of illegal P2P users? In the USA or Spain?

Hey, Hey, Hey,

Just a few years ago, Spain was a clearly conservative fascist state. So it seems like McCain could feel right at home there.

Well, maybe he IS confused about the location of Spain. Irrespective of that, I offer the following comment:

I am certainly not a supporter of McCain, quite the opposite, but if he does not want to meet with Zapatero of Spain, I agree with him wholeheartedly! I live in Spain, and have for many years. Zapatero is a liar, opportunist, knows less about economics than McCain, knows little about the outside world, and is ruining Spain. The man only won reelection with the help of the Communist party here in Spain. Even representatives in the European community avoid even sitting with the man during his few visits to Brussels. (The man continuously smiles, even at funerals!) Some of the programs he pushes in Spain border on the asinine. One typical example: he recently laid a tax on all electronic devices that are capable of reproducing music with the revenues to go to those poor artists whose discs are being copied illegally. Truth is, no one buys the trash those so called artists put out. The tax was simply to garner the vote of thousands of those “failed artists” and nothing more. I could go on, but this is just a sample of the man’s mentality! So, McCain, Obama, or any other Government person should continue to shun this borderline idiot like the plague! The man makes Bush look like a genius!

This guy is so badly treated here that he prefers to live here than in the USA. Logical.

Either you&#039;re a Republican posing as Independent, or you&#039;re no American at all. You sound far more like a PP rightwinger trying to slime Zapatero in foreing blogs.

BTW, do you believe that corporations like Sony, Walt Disney, etc asking for the taxpayer money have less influence in the USA than in Spain? Where have been more Police raids in homes of illegal P2P users? In the USA or Spain?

Too bad Aznar was kicked out of office, uh?</description>

He should know full well that Spain is not in Latin America. He should also know the name of the head of state of Spain - an ally of the United States.

Especially considering some facts: we have troops in Afghanistan right now, we have lost soldiers there, our previous Prime Minister was one of the only three of Western European countries (with Italy and UK) who helped Bush in Iraq with troops (not that I&#039;m proud of it, it&#039;s a fact), members of the NATO, etc.

Oh, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javier_Solana&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Javier Solana&lt;/a&gt;, Spanish, and member of the (feared?) PSOE is the High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and the Secretary-General of both the Council of the European Union (EU) and the Western European Union (WEU):

&lt;em&gt;Francisco Javier Solana de Madariaga, Ph.D. (born July 14, 1942 in Madrid, Spain) is the High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and the Secretary-General of both the Council of the European Union (EU) and the Western European Union (WEU). He was named Secretary General of the 10 permanent member Western European Union in November 1999.

		<description>This is why they haven&#039;t released his medical records fully--it&#039;s quite obvious that he is beginning to suffer from dementia.  The GOP really wants a puppet administration to hide behind while they do their dirty work and he gets the blame--and if he dies in office (God help us not to have him elected!) then Palin in her uninformed mental maturity will be another puppet to control.  They did it with Reagan except his vp had all his faculties.
This is not age discrimination, just simple observance.  I do not feel he can withstand the rigors of presidency or the run for office and it is taking its toll in front of everyone when he&#039;s on stage.  He&#039;s not capable of being misused by those he surrounds himself with even having full mental capacity.</description>

		<description>Assuming this is only dementia is giving McCain the benefit of the doubt.  I suspect if we saw his school records they would make Bush&#039;s &#039;C&#039; average look stellar.  I suspect the guy has been dumb his whole life and is just really, really lucky.</description>

Very Extreme, considering that the few Socialism as known by Marx left in the PSOE is the social (with no capital letter) policies. Economically, they&#039;ve embraced capitalism fully.</description>

		<description>Why must we continue to be embarrassed by the people who are considered leaders in this country?  We all know that Bush 43 is a moron, and we&#039;ve gotten used to his confused and addled meanderings.  Now we have McCain, who is looking more and more like a sad, bitter old man, showing his ignorance of the world.  He&#039;s been in the US Senate for 26 years!  He should know full well that Spain is not in Latin America.  He should also know the name of the head of state of Spain - an ally of the United States.

Please America - elect a REAL man to the White House for a change!

Obama/Biden 2008!</description>
