McCain on Spain plainly pains the brain ...

Spanish Questioner: Would you be willing to meet with the head of our government, Mr. Zapatero?
John McCain: I will meet with those leaders who are our friends and who want to work with us cooperatively.
Spanish Questioner: Okay, but I'm talking about Europe - the president of Spain, would you meet with him?
John McCain: I will reunite with any leader that has the same principles and philosophy that we do: human rights, democracy, and liberty. And I will confront those that don't [have them].
------------------
?!! This really bothers me. Zapatero is one of my favorite politicians, anywhere on this planet. And to hear that McCain doesn't even know who he is or what he's done? That is truly disgusting.
We NEED foreign leaders and governments to show Americans how social change is not only possible, but it's already happened in other countries. We NEED parties like the PSOE (Spanish Worker's Socialist Party, of which Zapatero is a member) to take the bad taste the word "socialism" puts in (ignorant) people's mouths.
McCain, you are officially the most worthless excuse for a human on this planet. The fact that you call yourself a man is not just a disgrace to this nation, it's an abomination to the human race.
