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.
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.
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.
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".
All leftists are alike. If they lose it must be because the opposition cheated.
Best to wait "until the dust settles", because this election could get nasty.
It seems that whenever a Leftist loses an election there is an automatic assumption that he/she was robbed. The obvious explanation, namely that the candidate simply didn't get as many votes as his opponent, doesn't seem to make it to their radar screens.
I love it when a conservative wins in any country it is reported as by "the thinest of margins". Other key sore loser one liners is "recount" or "questions arise of voter fraud" are always evident. To the press if a lefty candidate loses it is because of fraud. These people are all losers
Calderon is much more aware than his many U.S. supporters that his real political battles have just started.
First, you can see that almost 60% voted for one of the other two candidates, and those two candidates, and their supporters, are alot closer to each other than either is to Calderon.
Reflecting that political three way split is the fact that his minority led government will be a minority in the Mexican federal legislature as well.
Although the Mexican presidency is a more powerful executive office than the POTUS, Calderon will meet a majority against him in the legislature, when his push for reforms is seen as too much and too fast. Vicente Fox had the same problem and never found his way to even use as much of the power he actually had against it.
Calderon, like Bush, will be a national leader with the majority of the political elites at war against him.
North America is a Red Continent, I guess.
Somebody needs to say it: having an outright commie come that close to taking over the government of Mexico is no cause for any of us to celebrate. Mexico needs to be fixed. Nobody prospers by trying to dodge bullets forever.
Obregore:
"Oh, no, no - my win is there, all we have to do is keep counting and counting and counting ...
