Cue Brasso to defend his idol, sorry I spelt that wrongly, it's IDLE!

Now Brazil will suffer immensely to recover and 20 years were lost not to mention all the lives and millions of the best Brazilians who have left the country. PT is a desease that will be too difficult to cure and get rid of it.

Aug 29th, 2015 - 07:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I remember Serra in 2010 'running-off' . Serra's total abortion of the election process was a total embarrasment, and led to the Dilma 'win'.
I would never vote for Serra again ... but I would vote for Neves.
You are a “Nó Cego”!

Lula and Dilma's corruption is something even you can't be blind to.
