| Lefty Mexican Lawmakers Block Fox's Speech |
| 2006-09-02 |
| MeltDownSouth Vicente Fox was forced to forego the last state-of-the-nation address of his presidency Friday after leftist lawmakers stormed the stage of Congress to protest disputed July 2 elections. It was the first time in modern Mexican history a president hasn't given the annual address to Congress. Instead, Fox handed in a written copy of his report, and his office said he would address the nation in a televised speech later Friday. |

| #7 We tolerated Castro because we shared no border with Cuba. No US government will tolerate a hostile communist dictatorship in Mexico. The fence will be built and, if necessary, the Marines will return to the Halls of Montezuma. |

| #5 They want to make a political cesspool there as well. They learn from US - from the Democrats here. Other way around, I think. The Donks are learning their tactics from the Third World. |

| #1 They want to make a political cesspool there as well. They learn from US - from the Democrats here. Other countries follow our "Standards" wether we like it or not. This is why you need an educated populace to lead appropriately which WE are lacking. Or at least look like we are lacking. |
