Reply #121: I bet you aren't aware of this but every single time a progressive

[EFerrari]

runs in Mexico, the US government makes sure they don't win. Last time out, BushCo even sent down speech writers and other "consultants" and it looks like they bribed the high court into tanking the recount.

Mexico DOES need to take action. But that action is difficult to take when the whole force of the US government is funding and facilitating more or less constant attacks on their democracy. There's a lot of $ at stake here. And, apparently it's enough for the Corporati to mind those elections and make sure the status quo isn't disrupted.

So, it's not that simple, "Mexico needs to do something". Mexico likely elected a progressive reformer last time but the US government made sure he wasn't seated. :shrug:
