    MEXICO CITY - Mexico's left-wing presidential candidate wants every single vote recounted and is threatening to call street protests as he fights an election result giving a razor-thin victory to his conservative rival. Senior aides to Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, a combative former mayor of Mexico City, said on Tuesday they want a recount of Sunday's tight election to include every vote cast, not just the ballot returns reported by polling stations.

    I think the only difference between the two is whether 6 million illegals come next year or 8 million :p

    You know, I was at the beach for 4th of July tonight and all you could hear was mexicans talking and shouting. Just a sea of mexicans, wtf is going on here, wtf are we doing to our country.

    Oh yea, after it was all over, after sitting in the traffic jam for an hour, some beaners pull up next to me, hang a huge mexican flag out the window and looked at me like "wtf you doin in my country".
    I looked at their car, then at them, then at the 500 kids in their backseat, and gave a "you're beneath me" type look, as my windows were rolling up.

    I'm really getting fed up with this shit.

    Sorry, I needed to share that.
