Mexican leftist says he is president, vows protests
2006-07-27
The leftist contesting Mexico's July 2 election on the grounds of vote-rigging declared himself president on Wednesday and said his supporters would step up a campaign of civil disobedience next week. Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who lost the vote count to conservative rival Felipe Calderon by a tiny margin, said in a television interview that a rally on Sunday in Mexico City would show his backers have the energy to keep up protests.

#11  I suppose Mexico should be grateful that this commie clown is just declaring, protesting, and calling for "civil disobedience" - instead of what the sore loser usually does down there.


Tourist: "What's Mexico's favorite sport?"

Tour guide: "Bullfighting."

Tourist: "Isn't it revolting?"

Tour guide: "No, that's our second favorite sport."

#7  By all accounts, this was one of the cleanest elections in Mexic's history. Give it up Algore Obrador. You lost.

#6  The Mexican drug cartel army will start busting heads soon I see.

The Mexican army will determine who it can 'deal' with first, then decide who's going to be El Presidente. It's business, nothing personal.
