Nov 05th, 2012 - 12:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Clarin. How unbiased! Come up with a better candidate than Cristina and I'll be interested in her not standing again....oh wait, the opposition can't, and even Clarin admit they're useless!
Nov 05th, 2012 - 12:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0BK ... you don't look for unbiased news about rgland ... you just want news biased to your way of thinking. You know what they say... people read the newspapers that tell them what they want to hear.
Nov 05th, 2012 - 12:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The opposition useless? The whole RG political system is useless.. as is their economic management.
Even Ministers in CFKC's government are expressing concern over the amount of power she is giving to the unelected La Campora. They can see that it will be her downfall.
Nov 05th, 2012 - 01:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I have seen a real change in people I know that voted for CFKC. Once they would have supported her loyally but now they have turned against her. They feel disappointed and angry with her.

It'll get through, somehow. She will give them some puppy dog eyes and blame the Falklands and it'll get through. It'll all end in a repeat of 30 years ago.

It will be interesting to see the shakeout in the mid terms.
20% of Clarin's readders support the re-election of CFK...
Nov 05th, 2012 - 02:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That says it all ;)
The Economic minister is on his way to Vietnam to set up trade I guess, in the plane there are blow up balloons with “clarin lies” printed ion them!
Nov 05th, 2012 - 02:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Can you imagine a serious country;s ministers or cabinet officials going on a trade mission with this type of propaganda?
These methods are so beneath the dignity of the office it would be laughable if it was so sad.
What an embarrassing amount of misfits and halfwits running this country.
Whew and they wonder why no one takes them seriously!
Good gracious!
...and finally change is emerging in the late spring air. Bit too late to join the ranks of a “Spring Uprising”, but evidential six out of ten Argentines disapproving with the performance of President Cristina Fernandez at the end of her 1st year into a 2nd term. Seems like that's continuing good news for the Falkland Islands.

@12 - Huntsman Extrairdinaire
Nov 05th, 2012 - 03:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Argentines haven't got the ability to invade a wet paper bag at the moment, let alone the Falklands.
In 1982 their military was vast, and had quite a lot of modern equipment as well as pretty decent second hand stuff.
Nowadays their military is reduced to working with equipment from 30 years ago, but without the finance and parts to maintain that equipment.
Their airforce is a joke, and could easily be taken out by the 4 Typhoons stationed on the Islands in conjunction with the anti-aircraft missiles (the ones Argentina have been saying are a danger to South America despite only having a range of about 5 miles).
Their navy is a joke, with most of it either impounded or rusting due to lack of spares.
Their army is useless as they haven't got the capacity to land them on the Falklands (no landing craft, no air frame).
The British, however, have 4 Typhoons, anti-aircraft, a destroyer around the area, and possibly a submarine tooling around.
Added to that, but even a wiff of the Argentines trying to mount an invasion would see the UK deploy its rapid reaction brigade, which could be in the Falklands within 24 hours, followed by other units within days.
Any Argentine attack on the Falklands would be folly, and suicide. It wouldn't have a chance of succeeding.
No I think Uruguay, Paraguay or Chile would have more to be concerned about regarding an Argentine invasion.
However, back to the thread. It's about time the people of Argentine woke up and smelt the coffee. I hope it's not too late to save their economy.
I'm fully aware of both their military capabilities as well as ours.

Nov 05th, 2012 - 07:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The number one cause of kirncher's downfall is her refusal the think she can make mistakes and adapt. The biggerst thing they teach you in management is that after you have devised a plan and determined the best means to implement it, you need to carefully review it and critique it and the modify it as and where necessary and at times, look for a new plan. kirchner's ego will never allow her to accept that she is not only wrong, but woefully inept and incompetent.
Argentine around the world support CFK 100% she is the best president Argentina had in 40 years I invite everyone to name a better Argentina president or even a better candidate, I am not going to wait for a response since I am 100% sure that no other name could ever come to mind, but you are all welcome to try. Maybe we can all have a good laugh at the futility of this exercise.

Here is a challenge I started in another comment thread, ask people whom do they think would be a better candidate then CFK to be president of Argentina. And wait for the answer. I got two responses so far, one was forest grump and the other I can't even mention because it can be considered an insult to Argentines, Suffice to say he was some mayor causing black outs in the capital city, CFK is a sweet heart when you compare her to the menem or videla type.

Nov 06th, 2012 - 12:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is the best chance ever for the Falklands to progress thanks to her-and she'll screw the country up so much that her armed forces will be fit to equip museums.
Sorry though to all decent Argentines-you don't deserve a pre-madonna like her.
The opposition parties really need to sort themselves out in RG land to mount a successful attack on CFK's 'government' (if you can even call it that)
Nov 06th, 2012 - 12:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I can't name someone best suited to be president of RG land because I don't follow RG politics outside of CFK mad polices. Then again, even if I though X Y and Z were the best candidates it wouldn't matter as I can't vote for them since I'm not an RG! Besides, it is up to the RG's to chose their leader not anyone else. We can only watch and wait.
Although I am delighted that, “When asked specifically the question of the Argentine president’s re-election for a new mandate in 2015, the reply is a massive 82.6% NO with only 9.9% supporting.”
Now that 16 year olds can vote.....I am sure there are more qulified children that is better suited than asslips running the country into the ground.

Quisling ?? - he was a leader and politician who sold out his people and Jews to the Nazi pals of Peron.
Sounds a lot like CFK !!!!

Are you going to wait until TMBOA has either:
1) escaped in Tango 1 with all the money she has stolen from the people OR
2) has been hung on a lampost outside Casa Rosada?
Either scenario could happen sooner than you think: it will only take La_Camping_It_Up to kill a couple of citizens on 8N and all hell will break loose.
Where's the rope? :o)
la campora are thugs and have been used that way in the past.......beating protestors to stop the protests. It will happen again, but I think the good people are at the breaking point and will return the volleys this time.

#46 Well if you think it'll all be over on the 8th or days later, I'm already too late =( But I expect ma'am will weather the provocation of these oligarchic protesters. They may even shoot their own side to provoke a coup like in Venezuela in 2002, but then Chavez not only survived that but came out stronger than ever, so they should be careful what they wish for...

Nov 07th, 2012 - 03:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well, she HAS alienated and antagonised the military. Frankly, they are probably the best bet as they are the only ones with the organisation to do it.
Nov 07th, 2012 - 06:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0She has definitely put her sights on the military. I think when she decides to call on them against the protesters, they may be the last straw and then the military may decide to end her “revolution”.

Thank you very much for your vote of confidence, Pete, but at over 70 I'm far too old to even think of standing for any sort of election.
I was very interested in PH's question about a candidate better than CFK, and although she is too young by far to run (5 years old), my youngest grandaughter would be an excelent choice; she never tells lies, she is learning the real value of money, she wants to be friends with everyone and she has a superb sense of humour. As I say the only stumbling block is her age!!!!!!
