    Everyone knows that when a government goes out of its way to keep telling you everything is okay everything is NOT okay.

    Curiously U$5'000'000 of this increase has been spent on cream-buns going to a single unknown benefactor.

    Isn't it amazing how much brainwashing the poor inbred peasants of Argentina need in order to persuade them to continue to toe the line dictated by their fascist government and the windy old whore they elected as president?

    @4 not really, I'm surprised by how little they need. Weak minds and all that.

    Ture, but still 25 times as much coercion as was needed less than a decade ago.

    Maybe there is greater motivation for Argsoc to control the unthinking argtard masses at the minute, what with the plundering of national wealth and inability to invest in useful infrastructure for the future.

    I'm just glad I don't live in Argtardia.

    @8 cLOHO

    Kirchner's post-menopausal fruit cake vs Hitler's premenstrual histrionics?

    With the benefit of hindsight, Hitler swings it for his performance as the Emcee in Cabaret. Christina's drag just isn't up to scratch.

    @Gust

    It sounds like you believe in all of the Argentine propaganda well the dear old motherland lies in 100th place in the Worldwide Corruption Index. I know you don't like me mentioning this but it does highlight just how good the Argentines are at lying, cheating and using propaganda to distort historical facts.

    “Unlike the Nazi's who managed to brainwash the whole nation , Kircher just looks like a Post menopausal fruit cake!”

    Well thats one way of saying that the two are in fact COMPLETELY DIFFERENT and that all Cristina is doing is trying to influence debate in an entirely democratic way in a country where its entirely safe to disagree with and criticise her. And you can even disparage her appearance and intellect if you like, though nobody unbiased does
