The fix is already in as far as the stinking poor are concerned, TMBOA has too much money (the citizens money of course) to throw around.

Democracy Argentine style. The party with the most money buys the most votes!
Oct 02nd, 2015 - 08:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There's no such thing as transparency in Argentina. Larceny maybe!
PMSL when they harp on how democratic they are.
They don't have pollsters outside the voting stations, they have bus drivers!
Talking of transparency, check out this pro-K economist presenting price and pay comparisons between Argentina and other SA countries.

It is in Spanish, but he was trying to say how good things are in Argentina but the numbers that come up don't fit with his claims and it absolutely hilarious watching him trying to explain them! He starts by comparing prices which show that things are MUCH more expensive in Argentina. But he then explains that this doesn't matter, it is the buying power that is important. So he then shows minimum salaries but they are LOWER in Argentina! He tries to explain this by saying there is an error and the numbers have been swapped! So he then combines the two and shows how many of various items you can buy in each country and the only item you can buy slightly more of in Argentina is oranges! So he tries to hide the less favourable numbers with his hand saying that those numbers weren't supposed to be shown!
I wonder if someone set him up by showing the real numbers which of course made a complete mockery of his script! It's like the Argy version of Comical Ali!

Arf!
The Argentine Catholic Church, which is still an institution dominated by those serving the powerful, is gladly bringing some water to the opposition's mill, to add legitimacy to the “fraud” claim.

“Latam...We are not talking about civilised countries here.”
It never ceases to amaze me that somebody, in this day and age, would joyfully display such levels of ignorance.
Golfcronie could learn much from the Latin Americans. But he won't. He is too far behind.
@5 The charts were actually clearly mixed up, but it was lovely to see the reaction of the K journalist, and then crying on TV! Now the people don't seem to pay attention to this idiot paid “economists”, but they realized too late. Not long ago people swallowed everything they said.
