This very same thing will happen in the U.S. unless illegal immigration is stopped and illegals here are deported -- it's just a matter of time.

Uh it already happened in the US withour illegal immigration, remember Al Gore, but nice try at trying to smear all Mexicans as supporting this nutball, Obragore.

[Kenton]

Right now, Al Gore is bashing himself on the forehead and thinking "WHY DIDN'T I THIN OF THIS??"

[Kenton]

Actually, I meant to say "Right now, Al Gore is bashing himself on the forehead and thinking "WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THIS??", not "WHY DIDN'T I THIN OF THIS??"

But the original way I posted works if you say it with a Ricky Ricardo accent.

[SquirrelKing]

"...Al Gore..."

Aaron Burr, too.

[OldFriend]

Reminds me of what John McCain did after he lost the nomination for President. And continues to do to this very day.

When the civil war starts in Mexico will Bush pull the troops out of Iraq to help?

Actually, Obragore and his leftists were inspired by the Dem strategy in the first place, when they challenged an election that was really pretty clear. IIRC, the Dems hinted at establishing a parallel government after they lost, and I remember that Kerry started making "foreign policy" trips and presenting himself as if he were the legitimate rep of the US. I bet the Dems are watching this even more blatant attempt with great interest, although since they're pretty sure they're going to win in 2008, I don't think they feel that much urgency right now.

That said, this is mainly about bogging down and impeding the legitimate government, which is also what the Dems have tried to do in virtually every recent election they have lost.

Algore declared himself president and run a parallel government?
When?

Naaaah
Bush will simply throw open the borders even further than he already has..to help "them poor war refugees".
Guy just can't get enough of Mexican illegals. :)

[colonialhk]

This is only possible if the economy tanks here and there. .......Hmmmm!

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Just a leftist being a leftist. One of the wishes of communism is that revolution comes because of civil unrest, and that the revolution leads to full communism. Notice that Castro still talks about the revolution.

Algore set the dominoes in motion with his sore loser tactics and Obragore is running with that precedent.

[BadAndy]

Al Gore invented (or at least made popular) this trend of rabidly contesting election losses. Taken a step further, this type of BS leads to civil war, where you have 2 govts proclaiming to be legitimate. When one tries to exert control over the other, the shooting starts. Thanks Al.

[VanB]

Call me crazy, but isn't this considered a Coup? You know an unelected citizen trying to usurp the vote and take over the government. I would think that this would be an excellent opportunity to shut this nut job up once and for all.

[OldFriend]

Don't you think it would be a good idea to divide the country in half and give each leader their own country?

/s/

[rjp2005]

"President Bush put him there"

HA HA HA HA! That is just too much.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

Right now, Al Gore is bashing himself on the forehead and thinking "WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THIS??

I'm quite sure he did. Problem was, if he pushed it to a civil war the US military could not have been kept on his side. Meaning, it would have been very hazardous to his health.
