With 60,000 dead, Mexicans wonder why drug war doesn't rate in presidential debate

 

Much of Latin America was dismayed that they got only a glancing mention in Romney and Obama's final presidential debate.

That means no candidate talked about the drug trade, despite historic violence playing out in Mexico, much of it along the 2,000-mile border that the US shares.

Both parties work for the Feds. That's a scandal of the Feds. (D.O.J. committed "Operation Fast and Furious") So both parties dare not touch it.

Because it's an AMERICAN Presidental debate, so the candidates tend to debate issues that are most important to the American people.
