This guy has truly gone off the deep end. Besides, I don't see what pisses him off so much about the current government. The "conservative" PAN government staunchly opposes the Iraq war, condemns the death penalty in every cirucmstance, supports gun confiscation, loves the UN, supportions the communist regime in Cuba, is silent on abortion, and loves the welfare state. If I was a leftist living in Mexico, I'd be pretty happy with PAN rule. Vicente Fox stands for everything Slick Willy believed in.

The difference is between Calderon, the "conservative" who will tweak socialism here and there and Obrador, the communist who will almost make Hugo Chavez seem moderate by comparison. Obrador and his cronies will become fantastically wealthy if he becomes "President for life", even as Mexico is reduced to stone-age conditions.

Possibly the fact that "the other guys" will be leaching money out of the public treasury instead of "their" guys. There's a BIG difference between the other guys stealing money and you stealing money. The other guys stealing money doesn't make YOU any richer.

The same thing with power. Someone else having power is not the same as you having it, no matter how close your respective political practices.
