MEXICO CITY, Mexico (AP) -- Leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador ratcheted up demands for a full recount in the presidential election apparently won by his conservative rival with calls for a civil resistance campaign before supporters who overwhelmed the capital's central square.

Where is Senor Almando Gore?? He should be down there screaming "DANGLING CHADS!!!". Those Mexican liberals need some help from experienced frauds...

[andre573]

How do you say "Hanging Chads" in Spanish?

Manuel Lopez Obrador

Just call him Obragore...

[MPJackal]

I demand we count every single vote..................right up to the one that puts me in the lead. Then we stop because THAT is the will of the people......like it or not.

Elections mean nothing to Stalinists. If they win, they eliminate them; if they lose, they slander them with false charges. Somehow, I think I've been here before...

Get lost Obragore, your 15 minutes have long since passed.

Obrador should be singing that line from Beck's "Loser"


"Soy un perdedor. I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?"

"I demand a recount... Until it puts lead in me"

More like it!

That's okay. Gore still wants one too.

[tflabo]

Ah, the Washington State method!

Gorebraador still at it. It's just an inconvenient truth that he got beat, sorry, chump.

I have been listening to radio broadcasts from reporters in Mexico doing investigative journalism through my local non-profit community radio station. The skeptisism about the validity of the issues raised has been removed through the actual counts of various vote boxes. There have been a lot of other claims made and evidence produced, but if I get into that most people will turn on their "conspiracy alarms".

Regardless I would question why anyone would NOT want all the votes counted. Unless you are the head of a major corporation your vote is really the only voice you have and it should be heard.
