And Vicente Fox was a step in the right direction.
He consolidated democratic institutions. He kept the peso stable,kept inflation low,was fiscally responsible, and kept the economy on steady growth.
Was there much needed energy policy reform and tax reform?
Nope, but he was a president without a majority in either house.
He was not the KING or Emperor of Mexico.
The PAN will go from being the second biggest block in Congress to the biggest although still not a majority.
Fox is a cross between the Mexican Lech Walesa and the Mexicn Ross Perot. Felipe is the Mexican Rick Santorum. Felipe is a Mexican conservative not an American one. Different country with different tradtions. But there more similarities than differences. There will be much more room for common ground with PAN and Felipe than with PRD and Obrador.The biggest policy difference is the death penalty.
The Catholic position is pro-life on abortion and capital
punishment.
Bush/Harper/Calderon is so much better Kerry/Chetrien/Obrador.
Remember, don't believe everything you read in the NY Times,Washington Post,or the LA Times when it comes to Mexico. It as as credible there as it's domistic coverage.
All illegal votes will be transported to the US border immediately.
Obrador has requested a change of venue for the appeals to the Florida (kangaroo) Supreme Court, which just ruled that any non-liberal has to win with a super majority (60%).
