100,000 protest after disputed Mexican vote
Supporters of leftist candidate Lopez Obrador refuse to concede defeat

MEXICO CITY - Leftist presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador called on a huge crowd of supporters Saturday to keep peacefully protesting as he goes to court to challenge what he called his fraudulent electoral defeat.

The fiery former Mexico City mayor said he would present fraud allegations to Mexico’s electoral court on Sunday and formally request that all 41 million votes be recounted.

The ruling party’s Felipe Calderon can’t be declared president-elect until the electoral court weighs allegations of fraud or unfair campaign practices. The court has until Sept. 6 to declare a winner.

We talk a lot about being the freest, most democracy-loving society on earth, but roll over like scared dogs when it comes to practicing in. In France, Germany or the other big western democracies, people hit the streets en masse when their government pisses them off. And in economically distressed countries like Mexico, people get out and protest when they don't like the banquet of B.S. they're being fed.
And with all the almost daily litany of BushCo shenanigans, there ought to be 100,000 Americans out screaming in perpetuity.

OUr new freinds say their right wing government does not scare them too much. She said, 'we use our fourth veto' out in the streets. The former right wing government tried to screw up their medical system with American style HMO's As confrontrational as Juppe was, over one million people in the street ended that plan.
