No matter where you go in the world, when leftists lose an election, they automatically claim fraud and demand interventions/protests. Is this proof that leftists want to do away with real democracy? Or are they simply incapable of believing that that the majority of people in the world don't agree with them? (Remember kiddies, in EVERY recount performed in Florida, Bush won....)

I love this answer:
"90 % of Mexico is poor, do you really think they voted for a rich conservative, It is statistically impossible for that election to be correct "
So, the Mexicans woudn't vote for a rich conservative, but they'd vote for a rich liberal???

Because they don't really believe in elections, they only believe in winning. Elections are just a means to their end, but if you watch carefully, the extreme leftists usually do away with fair elections after they've stabilized themselves in power.

I don't think the conservative, business oriented candidate had a large majority. Therefore it is important to follow the laws of the country and do the recount in order to put any arguments of irregularities or fraud to rest. If the argument goes against the leftist, most of the world will accept the results. If it goes in favor of the conservative, the world has to accept those results also. I believe the conservative candidate would have requested a recount if he had lost and the vote was close. In any election there is a lot at stake for both parties, and the results should not be taken lightly.

We can. I especially love win Bill Clinton, the governor of the small "backward" state of Arkansas, beat a sitting President with an approval rating of over 80% just twelve months prior to the election...when he beat George Herbert Walker Bush for the Presidency in 1992. Yeah, boy, those were some GREAT results!
When Clinton was President, gasoline was $ .87 cents a gallon, the stock market was booming, we didn't have any wars raging and the only thing on people's minds was sex. Damn, I miss Bill Clinton!!
PS: Remember THIS, Kiddies, in every recount in Florida, Bush's brother was still Governor, Katherine Harris was in charge and still Bush's Florida campaign manager...and guess what? He won in every recount! What a SHOCKER, eh?

The phenomenon is not just accosiated with the left (or right) but just with the losers. If Bush had lost by as small a margin as Gore or Kerry (and the signs of fraud were just as strong) he certianly would have persued the matter. In fact, Kerry conceded the election to Bush without any attempt at a recount. Had Bush lost, we might still be recounting the votes today.

There were more votes counted in Florida then they have registered voters, how do you explain that? Maybe you should try checking out some resources before making claims like that

It depends on who is in already in power.
In countries that already have a leftist government, it is the rightists who have to insist on a fair election.
It's the nature of politics in many countries: parties will go to great lenghts (legal and illegal) to hang on to power. Once a party is already entrenched in government, controls the electoral boards, the election officials, etc., the temptation is there to try to swing the election. As Stalin said "it doesn't matter who casts the votes, only who counts them."
I'm not implying that Calderon won due to fraud. That's for the investigators and courts to decide. But, Lopez-Obrador and his followers think so and given Mexico's history of fraudulent elections, it is possible.

in case you practice the politics of hatred and branch, it type of feels somewhat hypocritical to anticipate those who're defeated to reply with some thing equivalent to grace. both between the Bush electoral campaigns (2000 and 2004) were in protecting with hate. So, the socialist candidate in France notes that a good better severe version of the detest campaign ought to bring about violence and also you finish that leftists are detrimental losers. awaken for goodness sake! we are meant to be in a position to disagree, debate, and nevertheless comprehend one yet another. look on the Bush administration. Any challenge to their judgements is greeted with call callings of treason. it truly is time for you on the right to face as a lot as this and insist that free speech and debate be secure.

Its in the leftist nature to mistrust authority, including vote counters and election board officials.
