Eeny-Meeny Lesson Learn, Should We March Or Should We Burn?

Hatched by Dafydd

The "Mexican Left" has gathered to mull the great question of the day: should they actually accept the democratic decision, or should they try to start a civil war and kill thousands of fellow Mexicans, just to install their own dictator in Los Pinos?

That's a toughie.

Our previous blogging on this critical topic is here:

Teleblogging 2: I Think Calderón Has Won...

"Democratic" López Obrador Threatens Revolution If He Loses

The More I Hear From the Obradorians...

Felipe Calderón Wins

Mexico Headed for Civil War?

The Zarathustra of Zocalo Plaza

Here is the conundrum of the week, as the Obradorians ponder whether to light the fuse:

Supporters of leftist Andres Manuel López Obrador will hold an open-air convention in the capital's sprawling Zocalo square to hammer out strategy after losing the July 2 vote by a marginal 234,000 votes.

Organizers predict 1 million people will turn out at the event, which could name López Obrador the leader of a civil resistance campaign or the head of an alternative government.

Delegates will likely take the second path and symbolically declare López Obrador president, a softer option which means fewer street protests against Calderon, who is set to take office on December 1.

Say... who does this remind you of? Are López Obrador and his acolytes going to end up a bunch of sore-losermen?

Leftists had paralyzed the Zocalo and main streets in the capital for six weeks to protest what they say was vote-rigging but ended those demonstrations this week to allow a military parade to be held on Saturday.

Some other protests are planned before Calderón takes office, Camacho Solis said, and López Obrador supporters are adamant they will not go quietly.

"It is going to be very rough for Calderón. Wherever he goes, we'll be there to remind him he became president through fraud," said nurse Lidia Alvarado, 51, in the Zocalo.

Maybe Markos Moulitsas Zúniga can open a southern branch office. He grew up in El Salvadore, so the language is certainly no barrier. Perhaps Daily Kos will have more luck influencing future elections in Mexico than here.

In any event, I haven't seen anything in the news about what momentous decision the portentous and pretentious Obradi-Obradorians made, if any. We'll keep our ear to the grindstone and let you know what develops.

Perhaps some one could convince Oliver Willis to join Markos and play the part of a Karl Rove impresionado?

It always amazes me how the socialist types are able to easily muster a mob to do pointless things like follow their political opponents around to remind them of crimes they've never committed. It's a waste of capital and labor; they really should outsource that kind of thing to capitalists who could achieve the same results with fewer wasted resources.

For instance, capitalists could replace the banner waving protesters with robots, or at the very least some remote controlled cars. That way, one man with a master controller could coordinate the equivalent of an entire platoon of moonbats.

And if the 'bots start getting unruly? Well, we just switch on the radio jammers, or hit’em with the hoses. I’d rather light them on fire myself, but that’s just me.
