4. Ya think that the Conservatives will really kick out Blair?
I've always liked Blair, but if he is the baby and Bush is the bathwater, I say toss them both!

9. No, but if the Labor Party doesn't make him resign

11. I wish John Howard would log in to DU
just once in a while so that he can see that no-one outside of Australia even knows that Australian troops had a role in Iraq - befoer the Spanish troops were sent) he acts like it was important internationally but I'd say that 9 out of 10 non AUstralians couldn't pick hinm out of a line up!

Hopefully around Oct/Nov this year we can turf him and his race baiting co-horts back into opposition where they belong

5. Time to send in the USMC to "fix" yet another questionable election?
Maybe we're running out of troops to send anywhere to show all them furriners who they SHOULD have elected!

Socialists Oust Spain's Conservatives

26 minutes ago


By ED McCULLOUGH, Associated Press Writer

MADRID, Spain - The opposition Socialists scored a dramatic upset win in Spain's general election Sunday, unseating conservatives stung by charges they provoked the Madrid terror bombings by supporting the U.S.-led war in Iraq (news - web sites) and making Spain a target for al-Qaida.

16. This is a victory for democracy!
Hopefully Blair will be either removed or voted out. What's the Conservative Party's position on the issue in the UK?

18. ANGRY VOTERS, says the BBC World Service.....
Apparently, it took the Spaniards only two days to realize they were being manipulated by the government....

I hear Spain is a great place to retire.....

21. Sadly,
voters here aren't as quick. Whenever s___ happens here voters go running to their daddy figure instead of doing some thinking.

23. I read that 90% had not wanted to go with Bush.
So guess this did the trick. Hard lesson to learn, Bush messes every thing up.
