I don't see a happy ending for this story... for Mexico or its neighbors.

Bush should send troops in to depose Calderon and install Obrador.

Even Gore and Kerry didn't go quite this far. Almost.

"Lopez Obrador campaigned for president on promises to attack poverty, end two decades of free-market reforms and create jobs with ambitious public works programs."

Maybe they could start by building a wall on their northern border.


Just s thought.

FYI, this is called a "civil war."

I hate to break the news to you, Veronica, but the lefties will be saying "we was robbed" 50 years from now. That's who they are.

Mob Rule, organized by evil individuals for sinister and selfish purposes, threatening the very people DEMONstrating. Same old Communist technique for takeover.

I've got an idea: Why don't they go into business together? They should start the 'International Sore Losers Consulting Firm' which would advise losers on how to try and cheat their way into a victory.

The election highlighted a deep class divide in Mexico.

Yeah. Those with class and those without. (Same as the difference between almost everyone else versus the left here in America.)

Clearly -- the bastard needs to be shot.

Leftists simply will never give up....never accept defeat....never play by the rules.....never stop lying or bitching......never stop stirring $hit.

A stake must be driven through their freaking hearts to get any peace.

Semper Fi

"I don't see a happy ending for this story... for Mexico or its neighbors....

It's hard to see a happy ending for Mexico, period. As the article points out, there is a vast cultural divide in Mexico, one that can't be overstated, and one that can't be sustained forever. The effect is manifest in so many ways, a corrosive, all-pervasive corruption that saps the national spirit is just one among others. The root of the problem is that they never finished their revolution: in the end, they just ran out bullets and wound up pretty much where they began, twelve years later.

After the November 7 elections, all of the Republican losers at every political level throughout the U.S. should also do the exact same things that Mexico is presently doing at the Presidential level and also create a "parallel government" full of Republicans!
