Nieto is the same ol PRI with plastic surgery, backed by millions of dollares from the most corrupted old PRI dinosaurs. He dont need dirty money, he alraedy has it. The narco game its not the same than 15 years ago so I doubt the PRI will be able to control it , its just wishfull thinking, when calderon was swore in he had to be sneaked inside the building, rumors were very strong that Lopez Obrador won, but he is a leftist so in the eyes of usa he is evil, a no no. Pena nieto is just like Mr Bush a PUPPET he wont fix shit the narcos cartel side he is against is just to pwerful and it will make shit worst. In 10 years zetas have made the old cartels tremble and become one if not the most powerful maybe not rich ,but very powerful. the army shoul just take over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-77626001544007091682012-01-18T11:07:20.119-07:002012-01-18T11:07:20.119-07:00My friends, the Washington Post story was written ...My friends, the Washington Post story was written by two writers, both of whom have Anglo-Saxon names. That may mean nada or it may mean the story was written from an Anglo-American point of view. I don't know much about Mexico's history and politics, but regarding the story in the Washington Post, Mexican people should be reminded of one fact. In the United States, the fear of assassination at the highest level of government is real and persistent: Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Kennedy, in addition to attempts on the lives of Jackson, Roosevelt, Truman, Ford, and Reagan. I come to this blog for the opinions of Mexicans who speak English, or Anglo-Americans who speak Spanish, and understand the situation. Let me ask: how does the historical record of political assassinations in Mexico compare to the USA? Is it a real danger in this year's elections in Mexico?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-66544697031076226692012-01-18T08:32:16.048-07:002012-01-18T08:32:16.048-07:00Politics will never change?
Not with that attitud...Politics will never change? <br />Not with that attitude.<br />We are the people, and ur vote counts. And the cartels know this. <br />Zacatecas has pri and they set a few military bases to secure their hometown.<br />They are not making deals with narcs, they are investing in security and a tipe of 911 system that alerts the military of narco activity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-62808421996932343632012-01-18T08:16:27.990-07:002012-01-18T08:16:27.990-07:00Gives a whole new meaning to superpac!Gives a whole new meaning to superpac!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-47578039780659129312012-01-18T06:38:42.981-07:002012-01-18T06:38:42.981-07:00Idiots,do tou believe Calderon just woke up one da...Idiots,do tou believe Calderon just woke up one day and decided to try and reform the squalor in Mexico? It is ,it was the crime that was and still is out of control, not just drugs,but kidnapping,extortion,robbery ! just how many Mexican businesses were destroyed by crime, something HAD TO BE DONE.

Really, I am ready for the PRI to take sole control, stop the war, and get corruption back in the back offices and under the table. Not on the streets with the military.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
