MEXICO CITY
Ruling party candidate Felipe Calderon built an insurmountable lead in Mexico's presidential vote count Thursday, but his leftist rival vowed to challenge the results in court.
With 99.56 percent of the vote counted, Felipe Calderon would win even if all the remaining votes went to Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of the Democratic Revolution Party. He had 35.82 percent of the vote, compared with 35.37 percent for Lopez Obrador.
Lopez Obrador supporters wept in the streets, saying they wouldn't let him be robbed of victory.
Waiting for Gore to send all of his lawyers to chat with his boy Obregore...
Is Gorebrador going to court on this result?
Ahhh our lefties a such good role models for the rest of the worlds sore looses.
Well, it's good to know that the Conservatives were able to overcome the dead and illegal vote.
There's going to be a civil war in Mexico.
You heard it here first.
Or, maybe you didn't.
Claro que si.
Let's face it, this is a precedent Al Gore and the Democrats set for the entire democratic world: non acceptance of election results. It has impact in Germany, now Mexico. And of course the scheming liars tried to also cast doubt on the 04 US election outcome too. This really is a dangerous game to be playing in a democracy. It leads to division and cynicism about the electoral process and for little more than cheap partisan political gain. It really needs to stop. It threatens the very foundations upon which free elections sit: the acceptance of majority or plurality vote outcomes even among losing parties.
Gore just announced he's the real winner of the Mexican election.
Does Mexico have an equivalent of DU? He didn't win but he won anyway?
I should be better than this, but after all the lies, deceit, slander, intimidation, thuggery, oppression, treason, and political witch hunts by the global left, reading that gave me great joy.
Screw you, ObraGore, and the socialist thugs you rode in on.
There is going to be a civil war in the USA.
You heard it here first.
Or maybe you didn't?
oh oh Mr. Carter, Mr. Carter... When is Jimmy going to show up down there contesting the results?
The grief felt among the Left shall not be assuaged easily.
Repeated and extended court challenges, hanging on very parsed interpretations of law, and invented law (a unique innovation first applied in the United States), plus work strikes and public demonstration, will inevitably work its magic of wearing the oppposition down, and the next election will proceed with premptive strikes to forestall any enforcement of long-standing legal precedents, and the application of new "invented" rules for declaring a vote "legal".
Constitutional Republic...........
Are there enough Mexicans in Mexico to wage a civil war?
:-)
Any minute now this thread will be hijacked by the illegal immigration crazies...
All leftists are alike. If they lose it must be because the opposition cheated.
