Feb 19th, 2014 - 11:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In other words over half of even this poll sample (and probably bigger percentages in the country given the way polling favours the better off) agree with Cristinita that there is destabilisation at play, and a full 17% don't see any other factors to blame at all. But even if the 37% are right and there's things the government could have done better (show me a government of which that isn't true? Cameron?!) that doesn't make the destabilisation right! And I'm very heartened by the people's overwhelming rejection of the real “conspiracy theory”, that Cristinita will or should leave before the end of her term =)
So happy birthday to Cristinita, not her last in office and I still hope perhaps not even her second last =) Just had an brainwave, not a serious constitutional insight alas, but if they measured a four year term by the incumbent aging four years, Cristinita would be there indefinitely as she really is forever young and beautiful =)
“Given the anomic situation that is provided by the national government and under the circumstances of looting and chaos that the executive cannot solve nor knows how to do so, it is essential and urgent that Dr. Fernando De la Rua presents his resignation to the President's Office and give the government peremptorily. Otherwise, he will be responsible for the dramatic consequences provoked by his impotent management ”.... Signed. Sen. Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner December 2001
Feb 19th, 2014 - 11:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This poll should have asked “Do you think CFK should finish her term or call for anticipated elections?” Instead of asking if she should step down or not... People dont want a another 5 president week.

You can also add up the 36% with the 37%, instead of the 36% with the 17%...
Nixon was not even impeached after Watergate when he claimed down. Nowbody then claimed it was a destabilization or a Coup d’Etat. If you commit a crime while in gov't or you are unable for health or have pure incompetence
BK doesn't mean all that stuff. He is just a troll having fun pushing people's buttons.
Feb 19th, 2014 - 11:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#2 The lovely Senator was right in 2001. Now what is the relevance - I know she hasn't aged a day just got more beautiful, but the situation is completely different. And Nixon, Watergate, come on - what “crimes” has Cristinita committed? Having different policies from your preferred ones doesn't count =) (And btw I'm not Stevie...)

For the next months hundreds of thousands MORE Argentine children will have to go to bed with hunger, only because of inept governing from a corrupt fake-lawyer from hell.
2 Cont-(Pressed enter unwillingly ) If you commit a crime while in gov't or you are unable for health or have pure incompetence to administrate the country properly, then you must resign office. Its plain simple. Congress should held power to remove this incompitent bi*ch.
Feb 20th, 2014 - 12:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0Enough of this bitching around seeing enemies and conspiracies everywhere. She has to call for anticipated elections now.
She is a first class hypocrite for she truly was those peronist lawmakers who gave the Kiss of Judas to DLR in 2001.
I wouldn't take these poll results at face value. Based on the voting results of these past elections coupled with the events that followed 2/3rds of the people I talk to are expecting her to step down within the year. There is fear that the corruption will continue, and that the next leader won't be any better.

Feb 20th, 2014 - 12:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0#5 What do the opposition propose? Austerity, neoliberalism? And you think that will REDUCE hunger and poverty more than Cristinita's policies of social inclusion and stopping the destabilisation? Seems most Argentines don't agree - in fact 64.8% of those polled want her to keep rocking on =)
Looks like this poll was taken in the La campora office.
Feb 20th, 2014 - 12:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0@British_Kirchnerist
Feb 20th, 2014 - 12:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0Because 64,8% don't know what's next. In a couple of months this number will be cut in half and the ones still “supporting” her by then do it because they are afraid of complete mayhem or are brain washed.
If you believe that 73% inflation generates social inclusion you are more pathetic than Comical Ali. You don't come across as a true believer, you come across as WEAK. Face it: It's all over.

Feb 20th, 2014 - 12:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0No in fact its probably biased to your side as polls are easier to take among the middle and upper classes - of course your personal circle of friends is likely even MORE biased towards your view than the poll but that means even less representative of the country...
“There is fear that...the next leader won't be any better”
Indeed, she's a hard act to follow =) Hope she picks a good candidate for 2015, like Timmerman, and continues to play a role in their new administration, if she can't run again herself. And then comes back in 2019 =)
#10 “You don't come across as a true believer”
Thanks, by true believer I take it you mean like a cult member, or brainwashed, so I'm glad you don't think I'm that...
“you come across as WEAK”
Weak how? I'm a Scot in Scotland so I personally am neither strong or weak in Argentine politics. But my side is still in power, last time I checked, and this poll says most people want it to stay there =)
#12 Man if I knew my peace offering would lead to some homophobic slur on someone else, I might have kept it to myself! Though maybe not as the Snowden issue is pretty important - but since you brought that thread up can't you see a contradiction between saluting Snowden's courage and taking hte side of the people who persecuted Snowden by hating on the courageous Cristinita?

There is absolutely nothing courageous about CFK. You are deluded completely Stevie to compare her with Snowden.
She is a fake lawyer, who came to be the president because she was the wife of somebody in politics.
Jonas, don;t bother with BK, he's a horney teen, enamored in lust for kirchner. What he know's of her policies? Nothing, not only does he not live there he has never been there.

Not only would I compare Cristinita to Snowden, if he'd got to South America as he planned, she might well have been his host rather than Putin. Either way its like the exile of Miranda of Venezuela - they both resemble his host Catherine the Great in some ways, though different ones =)
#15 I actually know quite a lot about her policies from experience - that is from the bad experience of their opposite in Britain!

Feb 20th, 2014 - 01:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0Thank you and forgotten already!
As for British_Kirchnerist, don't worry about him. He finds CFK hugely attractive and living in Britain he knows nothing about how her failed policies affect the average Argentinean that has not be able to fleece the public like she has.
I mean look at his logic:
“In other words over half of even this poll sample... agree with Cristinita that there is destabilisation at play”
Because if you use his logic, then nearly 3/4 actually do NOT believe it - 36%+37%=73%!
Using British_Kirchnerist's logic of course.
Thanks BK, all you did was make CFK look bad!

This is a Brit taking similar Argentine action:
I'm actually Cristina Fernandez. I'd like to say a big thank you to the Falklanders for showing me the error of my ways.
I admit there is no genuine factual claim to your Islands, the lies and misinformation are a critical tool in my governing box to manipulate the unwashed masses (like my darling child Think, A_hole, Brit_Chic/Kirchenrist).
I wish to openly apologize for the decades of aggression and unlawful discrimination towards your peaceful and prosperous 3000.
I have learnt my lesson and will now concentrate of fixing the crumbling, corrupt nation that is Argentina.
I would also like to apologize to Great Britain for the numerous lives lost as a result of Argentina's hostilities.
I would also like to apologize for the financial costs incurred to ensure the Falkland Islanders remain free from my, and my predecessors plans for regional domination and colonialism.
May I take this opportunity to apologize for the attempts at discrediting a proud nation who throughout history has always taken the necessary actions for the greater good (the UK ).
My own strategies and strategic understanding cannot compare to the economic, cultural and military minds of the UK, or the UK's descendants spread throughout the globe.
Most of all I apologize for my continued brazen behavior, I am neither considered, humble nor cultured in the ways of the world.
Actually tell a lie (another one), my biggest regret is my complete lack of factual historical knowledge. I am only part to blame for this though, it is also the fault of big business and the manipulative private interests around the globe.
Yours sincerely,
Cristina Fernandez

Or extended power blackouts during a heatwave. Or hyperinflation. Or be deprived of purchasing the foreign currency necessary for travelling abroad.
Where you don't require private security patrols to ensure your safety. Where you don't have a leader who will schedule a football match at a very late hour to be televised exclusively to compete with a current affairs programme providing details of where your ill-gotten gains are secured.
And the irony? The object of your romantic ( satirical? ) devotion isn't even a real socialist. HER marxism has the depth of a marketing slogan.
She displays more devotion to her shoe collection.
These Argies are easily pleased, you have to wonder just how bad a president has to get before they would want rid. I can't think of one foreign, domestic or economic policy that she has been successful in..

Feb 20th, 2014 - 08:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I assume the consultants know what they are doing if they get to be paid for these polls.
I’m certain if the question was “do you think Cristina Fernandez should not finish her 4 year term and call anticipated elections? “ you would have a very different results. Argentines associate a president leaving early with chaos. It doesn’t necessarily have to be that way.
The people like calmness in the atmosphere though limited as it may be under the current gov’t… Sooner or later the conditions and reality pushes them to take the street one way or another.
@5 Shouldn't spend too much time “associating” with an amoral, demented, deviant, perverted, paedophile faggot. That's BK. He has this overwhelming urge to obtain a pair of the pants he thinks CFK wears. In reality, she doesn't. There must be no delays. Pull out the dildo and the butt plug. What he really wants is for her to break wind over his face. And suck it!
Feb 20th, 2014 - 08:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@10 Just look at the brainless no-hoper. Does he suggest honesty or truth? Still after the CFK break-wind.
@13 “I'm a Scot in Scotland so I personally am neither strong or weak in Argentine politics. But my side is still in power, last time I checked, and this poll says most people want it to stay there” And there you have it. A “thing” without an ounce of “reason”. Anyone think a fourth-rate “state” with 1/10th the population of its neighbour can “force” that neighbour to accede to their wishes? Wonder what it would take to obliterate such a challenge? If you watch the latam bloggers, you will notice the desperation and panic. We can only hope that, in time, they will kill themselves and leave our planet free of arse. Unlikely to happen, because they are cowards. We'll just have to kill them ourselves. I'm ready. Are you?
@24 Correction. It's “Scotch pissed”. “Scotch means ”pertaining to Scotland“. Nothing wrong with ”Scotch“ skirt lifters. They do it all the time. The usual result is gales of laughter. ”Dicks“ need to be able to ”enter“. Most Scots women have to rely on Englishmen. But there is a problem. Most English men are reluctant to shag something indistinguishable from a sheep. Especially when farting is considered by Scots to be ”romantic“. The ”origin“ of ”bagpipes“!
@29 Perhaps the ”correct” answer is that 95% of argies belives that CFK should fall down and smash her face against anything destructive. Perhaps there a national need to stamp her into slurry.
So 64.8% of the Argie population is made up of Trolls.......quite frankly, I don't think she should step down now either ...it'd be too easy...she's got to stay until the bitter end and see the country implode under her feet.

@13 The people that I talk to are the ones supporting the country. We are called the working class. Ranging from lawyers, taxi drivers, to people harvesting crops for slave wages. A true leader endeavors to do what's good for the internal milieu of the country (opposition included), not to create a sharp divide while enriching themselves.

No matter who is in charge, these types will pollute the country.

Jonaz_BsAs I don't know where you got the figure of 80%; credit cards are taking a 43% (I think) to which you add 21% VAT plus life insurance and this is coming out near 84%. This article in the FT calculates 63% which surprised me, but seeing where it comes from it has to be believed.

@48 Trollie...“We simply believe in democracy”.....is that a joke ?? democracy implies total freedom of the press... plus a few other things, absent in Argentina.....so, according to you, CFK did not try to close down or dismantle the Clarin group, or to silence her critics ...you have a distorted idea of democracy. It's like VZ's Maduro, trying to tell the world that his government is democratic...sure, depends which side you're on...if you oppose him, you've got a good chance of facing the firing squad....but carry on, if you like your presidents BS, it's your choice.

I couldn't agree more about your appreciation of what the working class is (and obviously how hard these clowns are trying to divide us based on worthless ideological statements). Just this morning I took a taxi and started talking to the driver to kill time as usually. This guy -early sixties and obviously a hard working person all his life- provided a brilliant insight about this gov't. Look, he said, I don't think these people are stupid or inept, they are purposefully destroying us, the ones that work.

He is also PSUV Vice-President for the Economy.
So technically one of the most powerful men in Venezuela.
He recently stated that he will bring peace and stability by denying gasoline supllies to the staes of Merida and Tachira (where protests have been most vehement).
What a w*nker!
Anyone reading this, could this happen in your country? (Argentina excluded for obvious reasons!).
This poll is a bunch of BS. There's an old saying......“figures don't lie, but liars figure”. While December 2015 cannot come fast enough, It's highly likely she cannot finish her term. Tinman (A Jew) is in Saudi Arabia, the land of Wahhabi Arabs begging for oil for the coming winter. How desperate is that? He is lucky he is not buried to his waist and stoned. Is she is still in office by this coming winter, the winter's fuel shortage and power outages will end it for her.

Feb 22nd, 2014 - 11:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I must say that i felt quiet when i read that the 64% of people thinks that c. f. k. should remain in office, and wait untill constitutional times in 2015, where we all will choose the new president for the country. The result of this poll shows that unless we have learnt something of these long and blessed 30 years of democracy and freedom, due to most people manifested that the president must remain in office.
The other side of this result, is the fact that unfortunatelly many people still don't have enough dimension of the fight for power in the country.
I'm not going to waste my time criticising the bastards who wish c. f. k. to leave office before 2015, this time, i just want to analize that beyond the respectable ideological differences that anybody can have with c. f. k's government, there are objetive facts that nobody should ignore.
Economic coup d'etats have always existed, and powerful corporations apply that mechanism in the country every ten years, in fact, a financial coup d'etat made fell raul alfonsin's government in 1989.
On the other hand, since 2007 untill 2013 there were six economic runs, however they couldn't made her fell, because the country isn't in the same deplorable situation that it was in 1989 and 2001, in fact, c. f. k's government isn't weak in absolut. Sadly, i must recognize that the last hard devaluation of the peso, was a battle that was won by economic power, due to the government couldn't continue to loss reserves, which are usually used to pay debts. Beside, it's necesary to say that powerful agrarian producers weren't selling their harvests, because they wanted to force the government to make a hard devalutaion.
C. f. k's administration has walked on the precipice since it took office in 2007, due to hegemonical power won't never forgive the president her decision of recovering many of the recources that we had lost after 2 decades of neoliberal policies.
Axel please stop your awful incoherent noise.
