Lopez Obrador is of the PRD party ---- those are the anti-NAFTA pro-campesino people. I'm not sure if he's good or bad.

No problem, I have the answer to your question. There is no such thing as a "good" Mexican politician. Period. If they weren't totally corrupt they would never get elected dog catcher. That entire country is an infinite cesspool of corruption. Their police pay for their "routes", and then they extract "la mordita" from everyone unlucky enough to fall into their net. They don't get a salary, they are expected to extract their incomes form the people they supposedly "serve". That's just the traffic cops! It gets worse as you go up the chain of command.

The corruption there is bottomless and infinite. They really need to be invaded and to have an actual government imposed upon them, because they are totally incapable of creating one for themselves. Hey, we could do it for the Iraqis, why not for the unfortunate people of Mexico?

I have no problem with being anti-NAFTA. What is 'campesino'?
