"Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:WBD5c.21652$1p.426312@attbi_s54... Is that not how the republicans got a majority in both houses after 911 what's your point? An absurd comparison, but -- even if your theory was true -- I doubt the terrorists were hoping for a Republican majority. The whole of this thread is full of absurd comparisons why is more absurd than saying that the Spanish voted in a socialist government because of the bombing. The Spanish voted in a Socialist government because the Right wing government lied to then too often. Firdtly over the reasons for going to war and then quickly blaming ETA when it appears not to be. The government was punished for that - not to appease terrorists. |

The Senate was even in January 2001, the Republicans had a nominal majority due to Dick Cheney's tie-breaking vote. Vermont Senator Jim Jeffords left the Republican party two months later, giving the Democrats the majority. The Republicans regained the majority with the 2002 election. |

Rest assured that all Americans stand with you, that we will remember our allies, and that we will help you find the swine who perpetrated this atrocity. The socialists have just won the election & Zapatero has pledged to withdraw troops from Iraq. Looks like it's down to the US, Britain, Australia and Poland. Rather like last time. Yep, murder a couple hundred Spaniards and the whole country will do whatever you want. |

Unfortunately, the Spanish just showed that terror will influence elections, policies, treaties, and troop deployments. I have read this thread with both respect for the (mostly) flame-free discusion and in awe for the lack of information. You should read more non-US media... 1. Spaniards changed their vote not because of terror, but because the government manipulated the information regarding the terror attacks and tried to mislead the people for their own advantage (ring a bell?). 2. Terrorists are not fighting a religious war. They are fighting the US and its allies, not Christianity. |
