Calderon vs. Orbrador...

Ooooh boy! Here we go...Voters in deeply divided Mexico go to the polls! Will pro-Fox ally Felipe Calderone hold on to power or will Leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Orbrador champion the poor to win. With all these people pouring across the border, one has to wonder if the pro- NAFTA, pro capitalist policies are working... Latin America is slipping towards Socialism!

I can't speak for Mexico and it's corrupt government, but perhaps we should look inward to our policies with them. Have American corporations who have set up shop in Mexico acted responsibly??? Is NAFTA really helping or is it hurting??? Strict Socialism stifles the empowerment and creativity of the individual, for sure! But unbridled Capitalism leads to exploitation and greed. There is a happy medium between the two!

I give the inept Bush administration a D- in dealing with Mexico. This is all from a fancy pantsy ex- Governor from a border state that speaks a few words of Spanish... Big deal!
