    Mexico could improve their economy, stop most of the gang and government killing and show the U.S. of America what responsible freedom really is by ending prohibition of recreational, performance enhancing and life extending natural plant based chemicals.

    Hey just send us more of your Criminals and Uneducated Third World rejects!
    Mexico's and Latin American's primary economic policy is to send their Uneducated peons and Criminals to the US for Tax payers to support and be the Victims as they rob, rape and slaughter Americans by the 10,s of thousands, Businesses to Exploit and profit from, and for Corrupt Politicians to Pander and Cuddle while ignoring our Constitution against Invasion, The Rule of Law, & their Oath of Office!

    This is one good analysis about what is happening in Mexico. After the historical elections of 2000, the PRI spent the next 6 years paralizing any attempt to the much needed legislative reforms. Electors sent a clear message and they payed dearly in 2006, finishing a distant third in the presidential race. During Calderon's administration a few of the reforms have been passed with teir support, ending the complete paralysis that preceded the last election.

    Now, the few voters that will go to the ballots are going to give them another chance and the many that will void their vote are going to send another clear message: We are fed up with the political class and they better start working for us.

    The message of 2006 appears to have gone through, there is hope that all parties will listen carefully today.

    Sounds like they have just given up and I have heard that from some Americans to. The drug war could end if our government would just legalize the drugs and get them out of the drug lords hands. Sadly the lobbyist rule here and that is not going to happen. The government in to many countries no longer work for their people but rather the lining of their pockets.
