Spanish green party unblooming

There is a pretty relevant conclusion to be drawn from the elections in Spain this week. The Communist Party - which encompasses the Greens too - has been almost pushed out of the competition! Especially in Catalunya where they have been losing supporters since the formation of a the coalition with the socialists ... thank God.

Years ago they were doing a proper job pushing the government to be a little greener, which is a really good thing, but since they had the chance they just began enjoying all the benefits that being in the government gives you, and just banning every initiative or infrastructure that may help building a better country.

You can’t just say NO to everything, they have been acting just as snoby-trendy-exmarxists. Criticizing always everything but nothing to say (now and before) about the massacres in the old USSR, Romania, Cambodia or the lack of human rights in Cuba.

Go home, relax, take a deep breath and began feeling comfortable with people’s disenchantment because the very first time you can be in the government and you act as you did, showed people they should be more careful next time.

The better of two evils

Socialists won the election in Spain, the conservative PP increased votes and Catalan nationalists, the CiU, gained 10 members of parliament and a big influence in Spanish politics once again.

One would say the necessity of some agreements to form the Government shall bring moderation and stability to Spain. Well ‘one’ would be wrong. I bet since Popular Party increased their results in almost half a million votes, they are going to be as radical as always with their policies, looking for citizen confrontation which helps nobody but them.

On the other hand Socialists, with just simple majority, are going to believe that they have been given a green card to do all the silly things they proposed. Welcome to the fall of the Spanish empire, it’s been always so easy to spend someone else’s money, something which they are really good at, that I just hope some other party may stop them. However I am afraid the only ones who could do it, the conservative Catalan party CiU, is just going to work to return their arse into the Catalan Government, no matter what it takes.

Let’s hope one day politicians understand that the value of a Government is not in the length of terms, but in the use they make of them; a politician may lead long yet very little. So I encourage them from here to be honest with themselves to build a better country for us all.

The blood in Spain falls mainly down the drain

Terrorism in Spain is a significant concern but the country's citizens should not let that issue, alone, influence their vote. The two main parties - the socialist PSOE and the conservative PP - have proved themselves incapable to find a solution for it.

They should be extremely ashamed about the bad way they have always dealt with terrorism. Spanish media has reported the joint briefing the two parties came up with to condemn the violence.

However if you read the fine print, you realize that even condemning violence together takes them a huge effort. So in my opinion if losing more voters is more important than losing more people they should get no votes at all.

Top hit: “My girl” by Mariano Rajoy

Rajoy recently said he wished a better Spain were a little innocent girl would love to live with peace and harmony. Obama did the same a few days later.

“Obama quoted me” said Rajoy yesterday… Do I need to comment on that? I am imagining counselors in the Democrat American campaigns looking for ideas in conservative Spanish political parties... ehem

It’s beyond funny.

After laughing my way to the grave and began breathing again I just thought about the poor little girl. He forgot to say how things would for this little, tinny, cute, lovely, adorable girl in a peaceful and full of opportunities Spain.

If that girl happened to have two mummies or two Daddies Rajoy is not going to let her live with them. God helps her not to be gay, because she is going to have no rights.

If the kiddo happens to be handicapped her parents are not going to get any help from he government. If their parents don’t agree with a catholic doctrine, better they shut up and ask for nothing since Rajoy thinks religion should be compulsory in shcools. If she doesn’t come from a nice neighborhood, hope she aspires to work either as a waiter or in a factory.

Of course (Rajoy) thinks her bigger aspiration is hunting a husband and being a princess, but she better is careful as divorce is going to be a calvary, the husband can beat, hit, stab or burn you (if not all together) but marriage is an institution, and God apparently have whispered him to maintain it no matter how hard it is.

No relieve when dying in pain, no public help from the government when old… the list could go on but there’s no need.

God save Spain… I just hope my God is not the Same as Rajoy’s.

God Bless Spain

Apparently Spanish Catholics who have not been good enough are going to burn in Hell twice. Don't everyone of you worry since the only ones safe from God's punishment are his employees and Jimenez Losantos, and it serves us right since we all are such delirious sinners.
The Episcopal Spanish Conference have just elected new president, the most conservative choice they had. Not that surprises but it always seems, to me, such a funny thing to talk about dialog when your guide line in life is "or you do as told, or you will regret it with a punishment greater of what you can bear" Genesis iv. 13.
I suggest Spaniards all begin partying from now on since it is a nonsense to look for a little bit of salvation. Amen.

Zapatero (PSOE) VS Rajoy (PP) , Spain elections are a circus!

Spanish politicians improve themselves every election. Seems that in the country the more nonsense you are the more votes you may get.

Both proposals are something to really listen carefully. While ones(PSOE) offer you the eternal kingdom of future poverty, the other ones (PP) are willing to go back to the civil rights which our former beloved dictator planned for the country.

Have all of them gone crazy? Where do they have their minds while talking about giving back to every citizen 400euros? Increasing the pensions, hire tones of teachers, give money away for young people paying their apartments? Who is going to pay all that? How much fun is to play with everyone else's money? Love it.

Or in the other side still insisting on ETA being the planner in Madrid’s terrorist attacks, wanting to go back in 101% of the laws that the current government have applied, supporting every single issue that goes through the, pretty empty, heads of the Catholic Church in what I’ve heard it is a secular Spain. The PP is just unbelievable, who have given them the power of deciding what's moraly correct!?! Sure in a little while they'll decided who rules the party with white smoke... no more comments.

At that point, one can just think that either we are going back to Franco, whom I am sure they would bring back to life if they could, or try to have our Evita Peron’s philosophy which basically consists in giving bread away while you do anything to create wealth so people can feed themselves without having to beg in the future.

The only possible conclusion one can arrive to is that Spanish politicians don’t even try to disguise the fact that they are trying to buy votes instead of gaining them. Pathetic.
