AMLO understands a nation that does not serve the interests of its citizens is in trouble, Bush doesn't get it

Immigration is Mexico's disgrace: leftist candidate�|�Reuters.com:
"Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who trails conservative Felipe Calderon in polls ahead of July 2 elections, accused President Vicente Fox's administration of causing the flight of millions of Mexicans to the north ..."

Why am I praising the left's candidate for president of Mexico? Well, for starters, when a man is right, he's right. Also, it is not clear to me that the so-called conservatives in Mexico like Vicente Fox and his designated successor Felipe Calderon are conservative in any way that resembles what I mean when I call myself conservative. It seems to me they are conservative in the sense that hard-line, unrepentant Stalinists were called conservatives in the infighting in the Soviet Politburo in the latter stages of the Cold War.

Yes, but is the left's candidate a communist, as socialist, a liberal, a progressive, or a moderate. It can be so tough to tell with leftists theyse days!
