And thus emerges a new leftist tactic for challenging elections they lose. Simply construct an extra-legal body, claim constitutional authority for it, and declare yourself the winner.

[StJacques]

Here we go.

[tet68]

Watch for it here.

[Thunder90]

Can we take AMLO out???

[StJacques]

"Watch for it here."

Yes; I should have mentioned that I expect to put up quite a bit more within this thread as news is made public on the Mexican web sites.

[Jet Jaguar]

Let's watch them take Algore to a brand new level.

Thanks for the post.

[Michael Goldsberry]

... same stuff, different country...

Do I hear the pitter patter of George Soros and his stolen election charge? We heard that charge in the 2000 and 2004 elections. He sold the same charge in the color revolutions in Georgia and Ukraine.

Treason is a pretty universal crime, isn't it?

The only response to this junk is the same response given by Freepers to Al Gore. Wahh, wahh, wahh.

Next time it might be worth it to get more of the vote.

If Fox would enforce the law, AMLO would be arrested and hung by monday.

[Enterprise]

I was hoping things had settled down. Evidently NOT!!

[Thunder90]

George Soros tried to block the Color Revolutions, because Soros is a KGB agent, just like Vladimir Putin is one.

The 'winner' either needs to refuse this honor very publically or be put in jail for treason.

It's really that simple.

[vladimir998]

I hope the Pope makes a perfectly innocent statement about this real soon. Then...

Well, we all know how morons act after that.

[NRA2BFree]

What do you think is going to happen? Riots, civil war?

Simply construct an extra-legal body, claim constitutional authority for it, and declare yourself the winner.

Damn! Why didn't Algore think of that?

Or, more accurately, why didn't Richard Daley think of that?

[NinoFan]

Thanks for the ping. You are a true treasure to FR.

Earlier I read they expected to have 200,000 at their 'convention'. Do you have an estimate on crowd size?

"What do you think is going to happen? Riots, civil war?"

I'm going to quote myself from a post I put up yesterday on another thread.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Lopez Obrador and the Left's] plan is simple. Phase One: Immiserate the population and the nation by promoting the ingovernability of the country. Phase Two: Force new elections as a response to the ingovernability of the country. Phase Three: Take physical control of the principal institutions of the country before the new elections are held by holding the key centers of power. Phase Four: Conduct the elections under leftist control so as to guarantee victory.

AMLO's "Democratic National Convention" is more than a parallel government in my opinion. I think it represents a "replacement government" waiting to be put in place in what I described as "Phase Three" above. I consider all of this to be very very serious.

"Ingovernability," i.e. "chaos," is the immediate goal. The Latin American Left is behind AMLO and his "movement."
