MEXICO CITY, Mexico (AP) -- Felipe Calderon became president-elect of Mexico on Tuesday, two months after a disputed election, when the nation's top electoral court voted unanimously to reject allegations of fraud and certify his narrow victory.
His leftist rival, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, had said he would not recognize the ruling.
Conservative's will only take Mexico backwards, not forwards.
Ummm...
Why is that?
Mexico's government is what is going to take it backwards.
Well, the other guy running seemed like a Chavez type. That being the case, I'll take the conservative.Quote:

Don't confuse Mexico's conservative party with any other nation's brand of a conservative government - you will lead yourself down a path of poor generalizations that are easily proven false.
If Mexico ever solves their endemic corruption issues, a surprising leap forwards would be experienced by the Mexican people -- and I might not have to subsidize so many.
Mind you, a bit more policing of our industries employment practices might not be a bad idea either....
Short and sweet with an excellent point. :yes:Quote:
