Most Colombians I have spoken with support Uribe making a run for a third term.
me too, although....I don't count, por que, soy gringo.

Why does everything have to be done 'BY THE BOOK'?

GO UNCLE AL (VARO)!!!!

Why Colombianitas? Personally... I just don't like pink areolar tissue.

Not from me, sloopie. This is the stuff I've been saying for a long time now.

I concede, I make no rational justification for my own opinion.
I'm just like all those colombians... seems like it's been a good thing so far, so why not four more years.

Uribe should run for a 3rd term just to upset our regular PBH lefty friends....

You still haven't explained to us who are these mysterious villains that you are waging a holy war against.

I know Desi, I still don't know enough to have an opinion, and probably never will.

However, that country must solve their own problems as I doubt that we (me) will ever be ever be a part of it.

As much as I like many of the things Uribe has accomplished, I'd rather see the constitution left unchanged. Colombia must stand collectively, not on the shoulders of one man.

You have a point Tom-Latin Americans in particular are only too ready to let someone else do the work.

Uribe has worked hard-but is there someone else as capable and strong willed who can do the job that needs be done?
