CNN's spin


CNN is hung-up on stupid. Anti-anything positve to USA. Their agenda is put the USA down and throw up a smoke screen for all our enimies.

ChoicePoint is the pro-Republican private company


hired by Florida Secretary of State, and GW Bush campaign manager Katherine Harris in 2000 to provide a now-discredited list of ex-felons to be removed from the voting rolls. The result was thousands of people having their right to vote taken from them illegally.

What on earth were these people doing messing with a Mexican election? Given their known partisan position, it doesn't seem likely that they were hired to make the Mexican elections more FAIR.

If this belongs in off-topic...we could pick it up there if anyone disagrees.

"Now-Discredited"????


-----since when was the ChoicePoint list discredited?? Were the folks on the list Felons, or not? And if they were, they are not allowed to vote-----period.

So what is controversial about that?

I wonder how soon Obrador [Goreador?....Obragore...... ;D] will pull the "Disenfranchised voters" card out like Gore and Kerry?
After all there are millions of poor Mexican Nationals living in the US who left the motherland because Mexico would not provide for them, or their families.

"Because these individuals are poor, many could not make the long, long, long, trip to the border. Also, they were very afraid of not being able to return to the USA if they did vote because they entered the USA illegally. So, they chose to sit out the election......This is UNFAIR to Millions of hard working Mexicans whose voices were silenced. The election must be occur again, but with 1,000 of polling stations set up in the USA to accommodate these poor disenfranchised individuals. Or, keep the vote in Mexico the same, and just set up the polling locations in the USA......."

I can hear it now.... :rolleyes:

What is the link between a Los Banderas News editorial and CNN? :?::?::?:

Near the top of the page there is a symbol for the "Puerto Vallarta News Network" Of which Los Banderas must be a part. It appears to use the same font and color as CNN, and even looks very similar to CNN....With a quick passing glance at it, one's mind even reads it as CNN, I wonder if CNN knows about this...???... Or maybe PVNN is part of CNN.....:?:

Uh...You probably meant Calderon. ;D

Obrador is currently 2 points ahead in the recount. I think it will hold. Lots of skeered folks down here. :lol:

You are correct about scared people. Just keep watch the Peso, the Mexican stock market, and Mexican economy crash if Obrador is "selected" as the winner. Of course, with a congress as divided as the USA's good luck to him trying to push through all the social programs he promised during the campaign.....:lol:
