She's been learning from nice Mr Putin, have a stand-in to keep the seat warm, take a back seat for a while and then return.
Oct 23rd, 2015 - 10:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0Is she really the best that Argentine politics has to offer?
Newly coined word...
Oct 23rd, 2015 - 11:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0Ineptocracy:
A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
TheMadOldBitchOfArgentina TMOBOA, has a certain ring to it, doesn't it?
Oct 23rd, 2015 - 11:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0I imagine by now she's coked up to her brain cells and things will only get worse.
Love to see her back though to carry on with yet another “won decade”.
LOL
Theres a film that illustrates this perfectly, its called 'Idiocracy'

This is where Argentina is heading.
“Falling back.” What an insidious headline that includes the word “falling.”
Oct 23rd, 2015 - 12:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Cristina is not “falling.” Period. She ends her second and last term in office as a fully functional president, in spite of numerous attempts to 'soft coup' launched by the real, shadowy powers that still fester in Argentina.
Let's now wait for the popular verdict.
If scioli wins he will need to round all the K's up on his first day and lock them up.

Perhaps you know something most of us poor common mortals ignore.

Oct 23rd, 2015 - 04:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Based on the fascist concepts peronists have about power, CFK is falling and not simply ending her last term.
As Ms Fernández Meijide told the press “she must be very upset. After years of working and effors to get more, and more, power, she finally was not able to modify the National Constitution for another term. All what she did was in vain. She must be very upset !” I consider Ms. Fernández Meijide one of the persons with highest moral authority in Argentina.
She was not able to modify the National Constitution as she confesed the media. she wished. For fascist/peronist a republican constitution is a problem and an obstacle instead of a benefit.
@8 Don't tell me that you don't know about Nisman?
HE WAS MURDERED as CFK recognized !!!!

Oct 23rd, 2015 - 06:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Don't keep your hopes up for Scioli. He might indeed become the next president in November but the so called “project” will certainly undergo massive changes.
It is no secret that Scioli doesn't want Anibal in the province. The word on the streets is that Scioli's closest collaborators have been covertly engaged in a town by town campaign to make Maria Eugenia Vidal the next BA governor.
After all, we'll be looking at a very interesting scenario in which the “Opo” will be effectively ruling with Macri and Massa taking the back-seat and supporting Scioli through congress.
Randazzo was right. The project has become one-handed.
Who cares.
Oct 23rd, 2015 - 06:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Some lines stolen from a public letter written for a well known journalist by the name of Mario Markic:
Oct 23rd, 2015 - 06:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0”You (CFK) won't be able to modelate the life or behavior of the argentines any longer. You might be able to change things in your life, or close to you,. You might be able to change some small things in your place in the world, the place where you would choose to live. You may be able to influence the layout of your garden. But your revolution will have its limits. The limits of your home and garden.
Because, my lady, you will be a common and regular person, as it is said.
The key word in this looming time is “ex”. You, my lady, will be an ex- with all that this means and connotes, because power will belong to another person.
It is inevitable, but that's the power: syrup and bitterness. As an “ex” you will live in memories.
Not even thing about a “Cristina part 2”. Everything I forgotten fast. And for some people going back to be a regular person is extremely hard. For some people it is harder than for others. It depends on how power was ruled.
With all my humility, I would not like to be in your shoes Mrs. President”
Oh, I am sure she will enjoy spending some of the money she stole. She has also built a team of parasite yes-men in her home town so I am sure they will make her feel special - providing she keeps paying them.
Oct 23rd, 2015 - 07:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Enrique is so ill-informed about the country he claims to love.
Now why is MP NOT reporting on Venezuelan elections. Most of all the are only allowing certain countries to monitor the orogress. Argentina recused itself from monitoring the charade the are calling elections. One would have thought this would make the MP news.

Oct 24th, 2015 - 05:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I agree. There is a risk of significant changes if Daniel Scioli becomes president. Randazzo may have been right.
However, keeping democracy alive is a day-to-day struggle and citizens must remain active after Election Day to ensure the new government fulfill its promises.
I hope for a good outcome in spite of all the unknowns.
I hope she does, of course. With Juliana di Tulio as VP - what, after centuries of all male tickets you'll demand gender balance now ;) And from the perspective of her return, it almost doesn't matter who gets the job now - a Medvedev or a Pinera. But from the perspective of ordinary people it matters very much that Scioli wins, not because he's ideal, not because I've been raving about him on here when you'll have noticed I a haven't (too busy bringing the British Labour Party back to life with JC, a leader Cristina alone of all heads of state in the world took time to congratulate and who once told me and an Argentine friend he was “a Latin America solidarity guy” =) ) but because, unlike Corbyn or Cristina who are great, he's clearly the least worst serious candidate. And with Zanini as VP, a non-Peronist K like myself, and having become Cristina's candidate by default (although Randazzo was politically better and Kicillof should have joined the fray imho) it will be A LOT harder for him to cut a deal with the vultures. If Macri wins he could call it a mandate to impose Greek style austerity; if Scioli wins he'll either not do so, or risk being turfed out for such an egregious betrayal. So God speed tomorrow Danny - and I'll be spending election day in the most appropriate way I can, at the Scottish Latin America conference in the Glasgow STUC =)

Or are you a puppet of LUNATIC?
And WTF is a “Scottish Latin America conference” all about? Thinking of going to bolster the argie Welsh are you?
Pathetic troll.

Organised by the Scottish Venezuelan Solidarity Campaign along with the
Scottish Cuba Solidarity Campaign.
No more need be said.
BK has returned...did he do his time?
Oct 25th, 2015 - 01:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Does anyone recall his lusty ramblings with regard to Asslips Kirchner?
Scioli is more like Macri than Kirchner. They have been rumblings that Scioli word morph from Kirchner. With the victory party poised to lose the house, they may very lose control of Scioli, but only time will tell.
Four years. Plenty of time for someone intelligent to put a bullet through her head. An argie patriot tired of her lies and corruption. A Royal Marine. A British Guardsman. A Special Air Service trooper. A Corporal of Horse. I see BK claims action on behalf of Corbyn. Pity he's going to die. No-one needs a BK. Stand up, boy, spread your arms wide, feel the .50 cal punch straight through.

I just feel great. Kick'em out without resorting to violence. Thank God this country has learned that lesson once and for all.
Balottagge for the precidency. BA province changing hands after 28 years of obscure peronist maneuvers in the dark.
God bless Argentina!!
Suck it up, CFK.
