    I just love the picture of “No Money Pepe” with Vasquez: 'I'll fuck you up in the Senate' is probly the unspoken sentiment from the murdering commie bastard.

    @ 2 POLLY

    Vasquez went to the US because of the beligent attitude of your country over the mill.

    3M Uruguayos V 40M argie scum. Sounds like the correct thing to do as far as I am concerned.

    It STOPPED you as well, didn't it?

    Ha, ha, ha.

    Me a commie? Oh, how my wife laughed at that one. Who is this idiot she asked? It's POLLY, I told her: she also laughed at that one too.

    Good for Uruguay, and one more confirmation of the progressive governments Latin American countries would have elected longtime ago had not they been prevented from doing that by the always watchful U.S. and their domestic lackeys.
    For most of the 20th century political parties were made illegal, political activists were incarcerated, tortured or murdered, and the break up of the constitutional order was routine. Now, our countries are beginning to make tentative steps in the right direction and that is to be celebrated.
    Conservatives should not despair though, as democracy will always give them a chance to come back to power. However, they now must compete in the political arena and show their platforms. It was easier before, when all they needed to do was to go knock on the garrison's doors.

    ”Sorpresiva renuncia de Tabaré a la vida política: Dolido, molesto, Tabaré Vázquez golpeó la mesa tan fuerte como para sacudir el tablero político de todo Uruguay: el ex presidente (2005-2010) y favorito para volver al poder en las elecciones de 2014 anunció su “retiro de la vida política pública” después de la polémica que generó su revelación de una hipótesis de guerra en el conflicto con la Argentina por las plantas de celulosa”. http://www.lanacion.com.ar/1414593-tabare-vazquez-renuncio-a-la-politica

    A los dichos me remito...

    Whatever happened to the prolific Troll Army? I thought there would be at least two dozen replies by now.

    Guess no-one really cares. Too insignificant.

    Argentina, always the follower, never the leader.
    You should stay in a nice British Commonwealth Country like Canada. I understand the quality of life is so much better?
