I hate to say this, but it probably would be better for the average Mexican if the PRD wins the presidential election in 2006. The revisons to NAFTA to protect Mexican farmers and rural Mexico are badly needed to reduce the flow of illegal aliens(along with throwing Americans who hire illegals in jail).

I tend to agree. For a couple reasons, for one the Mexican oil ---- which there is a lot of, is nationalized but so far that benefits only a very few ---- that money goes directly into the pockets of the already wealthy elite. So at least if this guy is making welfare programs for Mexico's poor, he can pay for those from that oil money and it at least gets a little spread out. He sounds like he's against the decadent behavior the Mexicans usually have --- he tells the PRD guys to drop their mistresses (gasp!! what a concept that must be for them!) and stay in less than luxury hotels.

And you're right about NAFTA, it's destroyed the Mexican peasant, and it's time they bring it down.

Also this is the buy that brought Guiliani into Mexico City to try and do something about the very high crime rate there.

And the other --- their only alternatives are PRI which ran the country into where it is after it help power for over 70 years --- and PAN which of course has the evil Fox who is trying to run them all out of the country and into the USA. His wife of 2 years plans to succeed him.
