    It seems that she is perplexed by the Opposition actually opposing something.

    If they agreed with everything then they would be the Opposition then would they.

    There's a rumour she has a law degree..... hard to believe!

    The National Constitution of Argentina is the seventh in seniority in the world and the second in the Americas.

    Argentina had already a republican and liberal National Constitution while some of the best countries of Europe (countries that now amazed us by their development and quality of life) never dreamed of becoming democracies

    The National Constitution is a liberal and republican one and follows the freemasonic principles of the father of the country.

    During the decades in which it was fulfilled and punctiliously respected it served to politically order the country that becomes the leader of Latin America.

    Today, it is a failed country and a decadent society for having follow a catholic and nationalist project with populist behaviors

    Now It becomes more evident than never that it is the same confrontation that occurred in Spain (and later in Europe) during the Civil War. Liberalism and Republicanism vs. Catholic fascism.

    It's a shame, and also a crime, that shows what really the peronism is all about.

    The “funny” thing of all this is that the country is in flames again. Inflation is rising, reserves of the BCRA are almost nothing, there are not foreign investments and unemplyment started skyrocketing.

    But the “old lady” is thinking about her political fate... delusions to remain in power.

    A problem is that those who oppose the government are not violent or hysterical. The government knows that most will only peacefully protest. Thats why it mocks the opposition and continues with its thievery and anti democratic agenda. But Argentines have what they deserve. Two years ago it seems very few Argentines were asking probing questions about CFK and they got caught up in the nationalistic Malvinas build up. Only when their finances are threatened do the middle class mass take interest. The 'government' is right in that respect

    The thieves in government do what they do because they know they can get away with it. Simple.

    It seems to me that there is just apathy, resignation. You can have this corrupt government or that corrupt government. Everyone is out for themselves. This is why this 'Malvinas' angle works so well. It is one of the things that they can unite on. Like football, when the national team play. The rest of the time they are robbing each other and trying to get one over.

    '“I will not propose any changes to the Constitution” .... only a series of Amendments' CFK

    The Amendments are 'anti-Constitutional' in the sense that they all strengthen her individual position and give her the right to destroy the voice of any opposition.
    The 'people' seem willing to let this warping of the Constitution and the governance of their country continue ... like rabbits mesmerized by the stare of the predator.
    The actions of the corrupt mass of Argentinians reported on television by the Clarin Group accuser are the actions of a pack of wolves, tearing the heart out of Argentina.

    Surely the people of Argentina can bring sufficient pressure to bear such that the whole wolf-pack is put behind bars.

Stay on as President for ever . Control inflation . Continue to be surrounded by Ministers who are envied the world over for their intelligence and integrity . Give no money to those , Mayors or Governors , who do not agree with her , no problem if people die in floods or for lack of medicines ! Continue to amaze her public with brillant long speeches which even Churchill would admire . And dazzle the whole world with her youthful elegance .

    reminds me of a song...
    Congress starts chanting: Cristina, Cristina.... 

    CFK replys: It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
    When I try to explain how I feel
    That I still need your money after all that I've done
    You won't believe me
    All you will see is a whore you once knew
    Although she's botoxed  up to the limit
    And lips filled with collagen paid by you
    I had to let it happen, I had to change
    Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
    Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
    So I chose stealing 
    Running around, trying to confiscate everything
    But nothing impressed me at all
    I never expected it to

    Don't cry for me Argentina
    The truth is I never left you
    All through my wild days
    My mad existence
    I kept my promise
    Don't keep your distance

    And as for fortune, and as for fame
    I never invited them in
    Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired

    They are illusions
    They are not the solutions they promised to be
    The answer was here all the time
    I love you and hope you love me

    Have I said too much?
    There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.
    But all you have to do is look at me to know
    That every word is true

    #40 Just as I admire Churchill for his speeches (and war leadership) without sharing his right wing politics, so I'm sure he'd have admired (if thats the word!) Cristina for her speeches, and other things =) And I think she'll outlast the mayors and governors like Scioli and Macri to whom you refer, hopefully in office but at least in legacy and the hearts of the people =)

    SHE DIDN'T SAY IT TWICE, SHE SAID IT THRICE.
    The first time that she said she wasn't interested in changing the constitution, was at the harvard conference last year, when she was asked about that posibility. The second time, was during the opening of the ordinary sessions at the congress, and the third time was last wednesday in la matanza.
    In my opinion if she really has the intention of changing the constitution, in order to include a new article which gives her the posibility of runing for a third period, she won't say it untill she has the enough majority at the congress, in case her party wins next election in october.
    I think its absolutly necesary a reform of the constitution, because there are many achievements that we could get since 2003, and we must assure that a posible conservative govt. in the future doesn't eliminate them. I don't agree on a third consecutive period, neather for c. f. k., nor for anybody else, because its necesary that all politic parties form good politcians who can compete in the different elections, the future of the country, and of a party can depend on one person only, in some way, it showes the weakness of that party.
    On the other hand, all those politicians who are against this reform, omit that in some countries, like u. s. .a, people choose their judges in popular elections, some of them are partisan, anyway it's not what the reform proposes, because we would choose just the members of the magistrates counceall. Judiciary power is the most reactionary and conservative one, of the three powers of the state, and it's necesary to democratize it.
    Beside, everybody know, including those hypocrites, that links between judiciary power and politic parties have always existed. The big difference, is that if the project is promulgated, we will have the chance of removing those judges who didn't do a good work.
    On the other hand, if c. f. k. wanted an adict justice, she would have a pro kichnerist suprem court, which is not the case.

    I, like others, will only believe she doesn't want another term in power when she doesn't run for reelection. If her party wants to change the constitution, the so be it, but if she is a woman of her word she will not then run so it will have been a waste of time.

    #52 I agree with almost all of that comrade =) Including that there are more important constitutional reforms needed, to enshrine the gains since 2003, than just re-election, and the issues shouldn't necessarily be conflated. The idea that the Menem 1994 constitution is now eternally inviolable is absurd. But on re-elction, while I agree that all parties, and especially the left as it is based on the mass of the people and their struggles, must be based on more than one personality, I do think the people should have the right to elect whoever they want, with as few artificial obstacles as possible. Personally I think the Chilean (one term, no re-election) or Chilean (no immediate re-election) are better versions of term limits than the American (two consecutive terms and thats it, leading to a highly artificial electoral cycle where a first term president is always campaigning for a second term, then is immediately a lame duck when he gets one), though at least in Argentina I think there is the prospect of re-election after an off term, so Cristina could return at the next election but one even without constitutional change =) But as I say I don't want any term limits at all, perhaps based on my own county's system which has never had any =)

    #53 So you would like Cristina to just appoint the judges then, like in the US Supreme Court system? =)

Supreme Court Justices are nominated by the Administration and approved by congress.....no guarantee. Do you recall Bush's nominee pulling out?

    To refresh his father in law “weak memory” I can tell that a brainless plan of criss- crossing Buenos Aires with nine ugly highways was pushed through by the military dictatorship in 1976……

    Anyhow…. The AU2 will NEVER be completed because it would today cut right through the new “Chic” area of town....: Puerto Madero.
    And them “Chic” people do not want an ugly 12 lanes highway just outside their 5 million dollars apartment windows…….., do they?

    You say “chic” and Puerto Madero as it's a bad thing........is Palermo bad too? You really hate success and wealth......yet your asslips is full of it via corruption starting with Nasty Nestors praying of and evicting people of their homes.....to outright stealing........and it will all come out in the end as Argentina goes through another collapse. It would also do harm and devastation to the wonderful villa, I believe #31.

    You should never forget all you Argentine's encouraged the junta by failing to manage yourselves's. An ugly and painful truth, but the truth nonetheless. If you had continued the trend from the early 1900's as the envy of the world, perhaps Argentina would be the leader of the free world instead of a sock puppet of the outcasts.......North Korea, Iran, Syria and Argentina. But don't worry.....the “Bus” is paying the entrance fee soon.
    BTW.....doesn't 9 Julio have enough lanes? There are enough 8 year old bare foot girls and boys walking the lanes at the light just by the Oblisk begging for coins, something I saw this year and did not a year ago.

    Yes, Think is an embittered Communist.
    He has very definite ideas about distribution of 'wealth' for the many - bring it down to the lowest common denominator.

    Of course, he never says a thing about the Party Elite, the K's, Timerman, etc., and their wealth.
    I'm sure that Mr. Think must be comfortable - he is being paid lots to rail against inequality.

    At least you should be paid lots, Think.
    If not, or you will assert that it is against your principles, then you are a bigger dupe than the rest of the 'K' drones, if you live frugally or modestly while supporting their decadent lifestyles and unbridled greed.

    I wonder if your very evident anger is a symptom of your own self-loathing?

    If you ever had principles, as you try to portray yourself, you have certainly violated them with your association with this regime.

    You say....:
    “You say “chic” and Puerto Madero as it's a bad thing........is Palermo bad too?”

    I say...:
    I never said that......
    Besides, Palermo is fine.....
    Lived there looong time ago....
    Villa Ombúes, lovely Tudor place......

    Palermo is fine, yet Puerto Madero ...you implied otherwise. I liked that area......but that's me.

    Well Thinkedover,
    that sounds like you were being snide and derogatory to me.
    I'm sure any other impartial reader would say the same.

    Bitter?

    Thanks for that Think, as even Poppy seemed to imply in the great length of time he ascribed to the road in his original question, this sounds like a problem left over from the neoliberals jhe supports, nothing to do with the Ks

    #67 Sounds like an accurate, matter of fact observation to me...

    #71 Well I suppose if they were strict Muslims, they wouldn't want to be aroused by such beauty! (Apologies to all concerned for riffing with this imperialist scumbag, but I couldn't resist that comeback!)

    Actually Not so British_Kirchnerist, Muslims find pork unclean and pictures of really old pigs in wigs would prove extremely offensive to their religion sensitivities.

    Muslims can get aroused, but pigs are a definite no-no.

    So agreed, no pics of Cristina. Subjecting Muslims to pictures of an old pig would definitely be a human rights abuse.

    Now this is a comeback!

    CAPTAIN POPPY. BRITISH KICHNERIST.
    BK: Thank you, i agree on most you said.
    CAPTAIN: I know that only in some states in u. s. a. people choose judges, not in all the states. I'm not distorting anything, anyway, i commented about it, because i wanted to say that the reform that is being discussed, is not much different to existent mechanisms in other countries. Beside, if the project is promulgated, we will choose the members of the counceall only.

    For someone so worldly BK, amazing you did not know Muslims find pigs a holy sin.........and Kirchner is a one way ticket to hell for them.

    Your talk with imperialists is a throwback maybe like......50 years. You're a comedian that never loses his edge.
