    I don't see happening any other way. There is no opposition because the opposition is fragmented, and can not agree with one another on anything. Another 4 years of free beer for everyone policies.

    “John Sunday”, himself, said that a country gets a government they deserve. Four more years of this and Argentina will not be a third world country anymore; they will be a fifth world country.

    It's funny that all those Argentines happy with this possibility are not living in Argentina, they live in USA, Canada or Europe lol This shows what level of understanding of the real meaning of Democracy we have in our country. This shows the level of education we receive in our schools and universities, we are incapable of developing a real democratic and advanced society, and Cristina is the top of our political class, so you can imagine how far our expectations can go. She is at the top of our aspirations. With this woman we have reached the highest level of political development available to us. She is the best we can engender, so I couldn't be happier and prouder.

    In October, ~12.000.0000 Argentineans, a couple of my European sons (duly nationalized Argentines, of course) an I will vote for four more years to Cristina :-)))

    Four more years of economical growth and social development.

    Four more years of social justice and economic redistribution.

    Four more years of an Argentina on the right path.

    “social development” do we look like a socially developed society? Latin America, especially South America have been lucky all these years, it's not because of Cristina, unless Cristina is the President of Uruguay, Brasil, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, etc. etc.

    economic redistribution and social development is this?

    http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_miseria

    or perhaps, this

    http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_miseria

    but of course, those people don't count for Cristina and her partners and the hypocrytes living in other countries, simply because those people can't vote, they can't read, write, or even move in some cases, or they'll surely be dead when October arrives.

    “Social development” lol

    I hope Cristina Fernandez re-election next October
    Is a success, why is everyone upset, she is doing a fine job,
    Think of the benefits to the world that she will bring, as long as she is in power,
    1, the world will be entertained
    2, life and sole of any party
    3, a foremost comedian
    4, leads a country with both feet dangling,
    5, no danger to the Falkland’s
    No danger to the British military
    7, her own military may yet get bows and arrows
    She has surely got to be the best thing Argentina has had since the last supper.
    Good on you Christina [go get them] lol applause, ?
    Just a light-hearted thought,,

    Most Argentines that I know who live and work in Argentina will be voting for Cristina.

    I personally strongly disagree with her stance on the Falklands, and things like banning the use of the term 'inflation' and fining people for predicting higher levels of inflation, however accurate they are, but pretty much all of the intelligent people (most of whom put my cynicism about and mistrust of politicians to shame) that I know here (yes, yes I know that's an invitation for people to insult the level of intelligence of Argentines) are happy with the economic and social development that has occurred recently.

    I should add that many of my friends who don't believe that the Falklands necessarily belong to Argentina, or really don't care about the subject will be voting for Cristina.

    Sorry, all you CFK supporters, but the only people I have heard of who will vote for her are:
    1. - Those on the CFK dole
    2. - Those who are on the CFK payroll
    3. - Those who are uneducated
    4.- Those who hope they can continue to reap the bribes and/easy
    money being handed out
    5. - Those who wonder what they are goig to do when she is defeated

    The UK had years of perfectly understandable, wide-eyed wishful, 'politically correct', wholly counter-productive, government by the 'biggest minority'.

    It is easy to lead any country into penury - for perfectly understandable ideological (or pragmatic or self-seeking) reasons.

    But if policies prove financially disadvantageous - even disasterous - to trade with the outside world, all the ideology in the world will not arrest the track of upward inflation towards hyper-inflation.

    And with hyperinflation comes poverty, Depression, and lost dreams, on the grand scale.

    I wish Argentinians well, and I hope they pull through these years of great inflation - and when they do I hope there are honest politicians, honest leaders and honest administrators on hand to manage the necessary changes.

    @18. I have to agree with this rather gloomy prediction. The very people CFK says she wants to help will ultimately pay the price.

    On a more general note, the majority of Argentines I spoke with that expressed an opinion about politics (all of them) were highly critical of CFK. They accused her of buying the poor vote with short-term gifts rather than doing anything to make long-term improvements to their plight and complained about the oft mentioned corruption. But when pressed for an alternative candidate to vote for they were unable to name anyone less corrupt.

    1. Aumentó 2,5 veces la ayuda social, pero la pobreza no baja
    Creció de $ 85.000 millones a $ 227.000 millones desde 2007, y el 30% de la población sigue siendo pobre .... Nice !!! Cuba anyone??
    2.Quedan impunes cada vez más causas sobre corrupción
    Los procesos duran en promedio 14 años y crecen las prescripciones de casos que no llegan a juicio....

    ”Strangely enough three characters who are close allies or members of the Kirchner government have an “unfathomable rejection image”. Such is the case of organized labour chief Hugo Moyano; Luis D’Elía head of the street picketers, closer to brown shirts, and Guillermo Moyano, the Domestic Trade secretary responsible for ensuring domestic supplies and combating inflation, literally ‘by whatever means possible”

    .....everyone believes in Argentina that Domestic Trade secretary is Guillermo Moreno, thanks Mercopre$$ for open our eyes always with the truth.
