There are three major parties in Mexico: PAN, PRI, and PRD. I don’t know why people keep referring to the race as “the two candidates” when it’s a 3-way race. PAN is the allegedly “conservative” party, and Mexico has been run by a “conservative” government for the last 12 years. If Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderon are what “conservative” means in Mexico, then good riddance, they’ve been nothing but a thorn in our side. Ironically, many of the public policy issues where Mexico really is conservative, like restrictive abortion laws, were passed under the previous, “liberal” PRI government. They’re ultra-corrupt but I really don’t think they stand for anything except winning elections. And the third party, PRD, are a bunch of screwy commies who came THISCLOSE (less than 1%) from winning the 2006 election. “Conservative” Calderon pulled off a victory instead, and went on to screw America for the last six years.
Thanks. That explains it better than anything else I have seen so far.
Is it safe to say that PRD would be the party we least want to win?
Abortion has never been legal in Mexico.
They were there before the PRI and before the Porfiarato.
PAN had the Presidency but a minority in the Senate and lower house. Like America , you can’t really govern that way.
Please educate us on how Calderon screwed America over the last six years?
