Every election I find it horrifying that they actually pay people to vote for them. Not sure if the other parties do that, but the PRI certainly does. During the last presidential election they were giving away $200 peso gift cards to Soriana. For those who know about Mexican history, there were people saying right after the election that the Spaniards burned Cuautemoc's feet to get him to tell them where Moctezuma's gold was hidden and he never told them, but in 2012 Mexicans gave up the gold for a $200 peso Soriana card.

Good point there Russ. I agree completely. Let the politicians steal all of the tax money, not just most of it. Why go for half when you can get the whole thing. Furthermore, good responsible Mexican citizens should pass along to the elected officials a significant percentage of what ever wages they can earn. I mean who really need 1000 pesos a week? You are 100% correct, everyone should totally ignore the elections and show support for the elected officials by donating directly to them. Those that refuse to pay can have their feet fried til they donate. Makes good sense to me. I just cannot imagine all these pin heads trying to interfere with helping the elected officials keep their hard earned stolen tax money. Keep up the effort there Russ. You are on the right track on this one.

Here's another good solution to the problems of politics...who cares. This is the second recent example of an opposition candidate leading in the polls who was shot and killed. Who Cares. Hey that's a great political slogan you came up with there Russ. Who Cares.

Shot and killed Morena candidate, former leader of AD in Yurécuaro, Michoacán

Yurécuaro, Michoacán.-

The candidate for Mayor of Yurécuaro, Michoacán, for the National Regeneration Movement (Morena), was shot to death this afternoon by unidentified gunmen.

The founder of the self-defense groups in Yurécuaro received several gunshots while traveling in a van with his daughter to a rally in the city.

A few minutes ago his death was confirmed.

In the attack that occurred about an hour ago, three other men were hit by bullets, but the severity of their injuries is unknown.

Morena sources reported that the aspiring mayor was ahead in voter preferences and said that almost 90 percent of the municipality of Yurécuaro was showing support, especially for the help they received from Hernández as part of self-defense groups.

Last week Hernández led a rally with more than 1,500 supporters.

Look at history Roberto......6000 years of human governments......the common have never had influence on the elected ever. ever....ever....Go ahead and vote Roberto go ahead and make your little difference Roberto, number one, you don't have a rooster in this fight and number 2 if you did it still would make zero difference. Thanks though for playing down to my level, politicans are all crooks at the end of the day. They may start out as good guys with big ideas but then get trimmed to conform. Thats ok though if you believe in them please continue......

Yeah well so I guess if I stand my ground and be a good guy and care about it that it will all go away Roberto but the fact is the jackasses run the roost in most places.......complain all you want about it, regulate it all you want, make laws all you want and the burros still win.

Well anyone who is willing to pour acid on their vagina in her defense deserves out support. Dunno Russ. With your attitude towards democracy you prolly don't deserve to live in one. Sit back on your butt, make money and let others do the hard work. You might change your tune if you lived in an African country with a despot dictator. I think you would change your tune if the shitty politics had an effect on your ability to make money. You have mentioned how important that is to you several times and how good you are at it.

Hey if you guys are done pissing on each other, there are probably a bunch of us (maybe just me), who would appreciate a better understanding of the actual mechanics of the Mexican election process.
I'm a sympathetic third party standing with the people and wonder what they are thinking about at elections.
How does it work?
Who are the candidates?
What are the messages?
This may sound dumb but do the cars running around with loudspeakers blaring such and such work?
Is it term limits that prompt politicians to promise everything then leave with as much as they can take?

I'd appreciate an intelligent neutral discussion rather than vitriol...............

Where is our happy go lucky Russ. It seems like in the last 6 months or so your online demeanor has changed.
