The it isn't. Tell that to the folks along the border. Mex-Tex, ever
heard of it.
Yeah, I know they print it in Spanish, but some on this board would not
have understood that.
That's all xray is worried about, that they are "Mexican".
That's how he thinks and he's ok with that.

By the way the word is spelled: Ignorant. But you got close.
Oh, and the folks in Mexico aren't Mexican. I didn't know that. Gee
thanks for informing us of that fact.
Serious question:
Why the do Americans care who is the President of Mexico? Unless youre a huge corporation working the citizens of that country at slave-wage, it doesnt affect you.
the Spanish-speaking world is very diverse. Spanish is the language of 19 separate countries and Puerto Rico. This means that there is no one standard dialect...
One word: Immigration.
Do you speak American?The it isn't. Tell that to the folks along the border. Mex-Tex, ever
heard of it.

No, you speak English, bobo.
Mexican is not language. Period.
Nah . . .By the way the word is spelled: Ignorant. But you got close.
I spelled it in Spanish and in Italian just for you.
Youre that concerned? I thought you <3 GWB? He likes illegals.
No I speak American. And it is a distinct Language. Many American words
are pronounced differently than British English. Laboratory is one of them,
Tomatoes and Potatoes are two others. Many words have different meanings.
Like , means being sick in England. To get knocked up means to be
awakened in England and others words. Try kicking someone in the fanny in
England can get you in very bad trouble. It is not a nice word.
And you don't have much a knowledge about the border area. But you
try.
Oh, and one word I would love for you to hear pronounced in is the
enunciation of the word: Aluminium.
Another word. OIL!
American is not a distinct language. It's not a dialect either. You speak English. Get it through that thick skull of yours.
Same thing happens in Canada, NZ, Australia, England, Scotland, Ireland, etc, etc. In those countries, people speak English.
In Mexico, they don't speak Mexican, in Argentina they don't speak Argentine, in Venezuela they don't speak Venezuelan, in Uruguay they don't speak Uruguayan (you get the picture?). They speak Spanish.
Hope the issue is clear now.
What ever rings your bell.......
Well no surprise, the lefty in Mexico doesn't like the results of the election so
he is telling his followers to take to the streets. And he is going to court and
no doubt demand a recount and another recount and another recount until he
gets the results he wants, otherwise he will attempt to shut down the country.
Ah, yes, just like a good left winger. Bet he called Al the Gore and the other
dimms to find the best strategy.
Forgot to say, he said this all in Mexican.
it's not the "evil" corporations that works them at a slave-wage, it's their own people.
People in the United states speak the English language, people in Mexico speak Spanish. But "American" and "Mexican" are indeed dialects of English and Spanish, repsectively.
Technically the dialect of English here in the states is American English, not English. There is British English, Canadian English and so forth. And yes, there is Mexican Spanish. My mother speaks Central American Spanish. And these languages are really different. Many British people have no clue what some things mean in American English, and the other way around. They almost are seperate languages.
So true.
I have many friends from Mexico, Venezuela, Ecuador and many other LatAm countries, and I cannot communicate with them. I have to use sign language.
And when I watch a movie with British actors, I need sub les to understand what the they're saying.

Back to the topic. Obrador is behaving like a true idiot. He can't accept defeat so now he will muddy the waters with allegations of fraud.
Another moron from the LatAm left.
Kind of like the morons from the American Left. Is his middle name Gore?
Huh?
Gore >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Chavez
You Cherokee, xray?
I am Texan. And your claim to fame?
An amusing piece from the Washington Post regarding the close Mexican Presidential election
It Couldn't Happen Here
By E. J. Dionne Jr.
Friday, July 7, 2006; Page A17
Washington PostMexico is in a mess because voters in its presidential election were so closely divided between Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the candidate of the center-left, and Felipe Calderón, the center-right candidate who was declared the narrow winner yesterday.
As a result, there are charges of theft and miscounts, of "grave inconsistencies." López Obrador has insisted that the authorities "help clear up any doubts" and "not allow
Let's be clear: There's nothing wrong with Mexico's voters. Close elections happen. The test of a democracy is how a bitter dispute of this sort is resolved. Can it be settled in a way that enhances confidence in the electoral process and the legitimacy of the ultimate winner?
Mexicans have one thing going for them: There is no question under Mexican law that the winner of the popular vote will be the winner of the election.
Imagine the global outcry if Mexico chose its president indirectly through some sort of electoral college that gave advantage to smaller states over bigger ones and permitted the loser of the popular vote to become president. The world would be merciless in deriding Mexico as a backward place living under undemocratic laws written in the early 19th century. Mexicans can be proud that this won't happen.
But there are potential problems. López Obrador has had questions about the results in the state of Tabasco. Mr. Calderón and Mr. López Obrador, please, please make sure that you don't have some close relative in charge of things down there.
How would it look if the governor of the state was your own brother? What would people think if the top official in charge of elections was your sibling's partisan ally who made every key decision in your favor?
The American media would go nuts. On Fox, Bill O'Reilly would condemn the sleaze and nepotism while declaring, confidently, "Thank God such a thing could never happen in the United States of America!" CNN's Lou Dobbs would add a "Broken Ballot Boxes" segment to his long-running series on "Broken Borders." Mexico, don't go down that road.
Another thing: Whichever one of you is ahead at any given point, please don't ask that the counting be stopped abruptly just because you happen to hold the lead. Don't have some high-class lawyer with a name like Jaime A. Panadero III come out and say things like, "I don't believe that the people of Mexico want this national election turned over to lawyers and court contests" -- and then have the very same lawyer direct other lawyers to go to court to stop any further counts.
If either of you did such a thing, wouldn't it look hypocritical? Would it not seem as if all you cared about was obtaining power -- and that you didn't care how you got it? It would spoil the legitimacy of your election.
But, yes, there is an excellent chance that the Mexican election will end up in the courts. So it will be very important that the court rulings have credibility with the Mexican people, especially with those who end up on the losing side. The judges should exercise their power, well, judiciously. They need to make sure that they're not seen as making a partisan call.
Above all, this means not stopping recounts just before a deadline -- and then claiming, after the court-imposed delay, that there was no way to remedy the very problems in the counting that the court itself might have noted because the deadline had passed.
It means that the judges should arrive at whatever decision they reach in a way that's consistent with their past views. They should not invent wholly new doctrines, utterly at odds with their previous positions, that happen to favor the candidate closer to their own ideological inclinations.
And, please, let there be no court decision so unprincipled that the judges themselves have to say that their ruling has no application to any future cases, that it "is limited to the present cir stances," because of the "many complexities" involved. That would make the whole court process look fixed, wouldn't it?
My Mexican friends could well object that it is insulting and ludicrous to presume that their country is capable of coming up with such a nightmarish scenario. They would argue that no well-functioning democracy would ever settle a contested election in the ways I have just described. I agree wholeheartedly. So here's hoping that Mexicans manage to resolve this voting dispute in a way that does credit to their nation, and offers a model for those democracies that could use a little help.
ing Obrador, can't take defeat like a man.
ing Latin American leftist can all go themselves!
