Well, I wish the Spanish clergy luck. Spain is apparently suffering from the same terminal disease infecting most of Western Europe. Gutless cowards who voted overwhelmingly(80%, if I hear correctly)for a left-wing regime in the wake of Islamic terrorism are incapable of preserving their religious and cultural identity. These Spaniards knew who and what they were voting for when they tossed out their government and went Socialist following the train bombings.

It was a very narrow win, actually. Something like 51% of the voters voted for the Socialists, and there was massive voter intimidation (of Conservative voters) with Socialist coordinated mini-riots outside of PP headquarters, etc. In addition, the press was firmly in the camp of the Socialists and distorted, lied and did everything possible to get the PSOE back in power.

So that means that almost half of Spain did not vote for the Socialists, even with all of the pressure. However, even those who did vote for the Socialists didn't expect Zapatero to do the things he has done: he represents the extreme left wing of his party, and even some of the older Socialists have been trying to get him to moderate his views. But he's not going to, and I fear that things are only going to get worse in Spain.
