Anyone surprised that they released the Madrid train bombing videos today?
Two weeks before our elections, CNN is happily showing us security video of people being blown up in the train station in Madrid. They're also making sure to mention that "some people" say that it influenced the voters to vote out the incumbent.

CNN idiot: "Let's see that video again Daryn, now watch when the bomb goes off. Right there.. that's the blast where many people died".

2. I hardly watch cnn anymore
There was roughly 70% of the Spanish population pissed off due to thier support of the Bush policy and Spanish military involvement in Iraq. CNN reporters are too stupid to realize that they would have been voted out on that basis alone, attack or no attack.

CNN really does suck. They are nothing more than a campaign tool for the republicraps anymore. I will watch certian shows though, like lou dobbs or 360. Otherwise, they can shove their ignorant talking heads deep into bush's ass which has become the festering nest of modern republiKKKlanism.

3. Goes to show the ignorance of the average American...
if they think that the Spanish people voted their government out because of the terrorist attacks...

The Spanish voted them out because (1) they immediately blamed the ETA for the attacks, without regards to the evidence at hand; and (2) the government preferred continued involvment in Iraq while the great majority of the Spanish people did not.

In short, these are the two main reasons why the Spanish voted their government out.
