MEXICO CITY - Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, convinced he won't be awarded the presidency, has vowed to create a parallel leftist government and is urging Mexicans not to recognize the apparent victory of the ruling party's Felipe Calderon.

....................

Both scenarios are possibilities as the former Mexico City mayor lays out plans to create his own government to rule from the streets, with the support of thousands who are already occupying protest camps throughout downtown Mexico City.

And the worst part is that the Mexicans have a more transparent voting system than the US. For one thing you have to show an ID to vote. Now try that in vote fraud ridden democrat bastions such as Detroit or Philadelphia.

Not even close.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

A leftist acting just like a leftist. One of the tenets of communism is try to create civil discord, unrest, and take advantage of it to stage a revolution and install a communist paradise.

[TheDon]

So do I, but I don't run around trying to overthrow the government.

A Mexican civil war would be an interesting foreign challenge for an American President.

We have a definition of treason???

[TheDon]

With recent events in Latin America, i.e. Venezuela in particular, it does make sense that they choose now to take this approach.

Probably the best thing to do is laugh at him.

I have to agree, but time will tell.

We need a B I G W A L L N O W

Not Bush. Oh great, if a war starts their will be a mass exodus. Because Bush and his buddies want amnesty instead of a wall. Of course we will have to invade and occupy Mexico, again. Just what we need, another crisis Bush cannot handle.

Good point. In Maryland as well. You can see the charting, they do not even try to hide it, and nobody enforces the rules.

[Ben Mugged]

Can you say revolution? Civil war?

[El Conservador]

A civil war in Mexico is the last thing the US needs right now...

[Gordongekko909]

The Constitution of the United States, Art. III, defines treason against the United States to consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort.

"Juarez ran the government from a carriage and restored the republic," said Rosario Ibarra, a human rights activist who frequently shares the stage with Lopez Obrador at his rallies. "We just hope there won't be any need to shoot anyone."

Must have gone to the Pol Pot school of human rights.

[SteamShovel]

Not even close

But the slippery slope is getting closer.

[TheDon]

Agreed.

[TheDon]

Venezuela, Iran, and North Korea would agree...

[TheDon]

President Bush probably thought he'd be spending his presidency on domestic issues....

"This guy is a nutcase"

As are the people who would accept his parallel universe idea.
