The morality, responsibility and consistency of those who voted for the winner may be gauged by the statement - which I have already encountered three or four times - that they "hope" that those of us who warned them against him were wrong.

Hope.

They have elected a politician to the most powerful post in the West based on what they hope he will prove.

Such appalling insouciance and irresponsibility is certain to be punished. God may delay His punishment for sin - often to the next world - but He never intermits anything to the punishment for stupidity, which is always paid, and paid strictly and with plenty of interest, here on Earth.

Exactly. "They were as well informed as [they] could be", given the atrocious behaviour of the media. No sane or sensible choice may be made if the whole background is one of mendacity and illusion.

If you support Zapatero, of course this presidential choice will be to your liking. But even Zapatero will find out, as Clemenceau and Lloyd George did in 1919 to their chagrin and the misfortune of the whole world, that an ill-informed Democratic ideologue is infinitely harder and less sympathetic than the worst Republican scoundrel.
