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.

Just what the world needs, another megalomaniac. Like all such, there is only one answer, a bullet to the head.

On the other hand, before we get to that point we really do need to build a really big wall and quick!

[RightWingNilla]

FWI. This guy is a nutcase.

Lefty's are the same all the world over. They can NEVER admit losing, NEVER admit people just don't want them as leaders. Instead the election just HAD to have been stolen.

How can these disgraceful people ever manage to look at themselves in the mirror?

You got that right! Mexico is showing it's true colors. Let's not give the Leftists in this country any ideas.

I'm waiting for the first American "nutcase". We've had some close calls, but fortunately, cooler heads have been able to dissuade them from their delusions.

This clown makes Algore look like a statesman.

[tobyhill]

These people in Mexico are just taking pointers from the American left.

[Robe]

It's a .......It's a......CIVIL WAR

Is it Obrador or Obragore?

[Gordongekko909]

I wonder if this can get him arrested for anything... I'm not too familiar with Mexican criminal law, but their definition of treason might be different from ours.

Al Gore is probably saying, "Now why didn't I think of that?"

[TheDon]

You know the PTB are huddled in a corner asking the same question, and wondering whether it is better to ignore him, or to make a martyr out of him.

[PetroniusMaximus]

Witness the death of Democracy and the AlGoration of world politics.

It will be Al's only legacy.

[BeHoldAPaleHorse]

Probably the best thing to do is laugh at him. This is a sign that he really takes himself far too seriously; mockery will simply drive (well, maybe putt) him insane.

I dont think we have a treason law any longer.

What if this happens here? Would he be arrested? Shades of Blennerhassett and Aaron Burr?

Isn't this what we have already (sort of) with Ex-Presidents Carter and Clinton, Ex-Wanna-Be-President Jesse Jackson, and Kooks Cindy Sheehan et-al running around interfering with foreign affairs?

[Ruddles]

Al Gore thought of it first.

[BeHoldAPaleHorse]

He didn't appoint a "shadow cabinet," and have them "confirmed" by a mixture of duly elected Democrat Senators and special "shadow Senators." He didn't attempt to make a State of the Union address on national TV.

He's such an amateur...

[colorado tanker]

Leftists find democratic elections so inconvenient.
