So 61% don't support him or are ambivalent at best.

Unsurprising.

But he's a “man's man”, an ordinary “Joe”, “the man in the street”. Alternatively, he's a wimp, senile and a drug dealer. Who wants to choose?

Yes I do wish he would put his knickers on and not roll over like a puppy dog in view of the almost daily verbose attacks by Timmerman against Uruguay

Where’s geo, lol

Its definitely a conspiracy, to oust him and put CFK mates in power.

Such a little honest defenceless country, at the mercy of the local thugs perhaps,

And all she will need , is an excuse, any little excuse will do .

#4 Read the article! The attacks on Pepe are for him being in solidarity with Cristina. If Uruguay wants to retreat to petty anti-Argy nationalism next time, well I doubt it will happen, but I must say the thought that came to mind (even though Pepe doesn't believe in God) was “the crowd chose Barrabass”...

@5 Oh, how good. But the people should learn. If it thinks like crap, talks like crap, walks like crap and acts like crap, chances are it's crap. Come on, Uruguay, get some balls. You've been crapped on by argieland for years. Have you got anyone with balls? Someone who can stand up and plant their boot in CFK's big mouth?
