Luis Armando Reynoso Femat kicked out of PAN - again.

Former Aguascalientes Governor Luis Armando Reynoso Femat was just kicked out of the PAN, for having sabotaged the PAN candidate in favor of the PRI's gubernatorial candidate Carlos Lozano de la Torre. in last year's election.

This is the second attempt: An earlier attempt was rejected just a few weeks ago by Mexico's electoral tribunal TEPJF for procedural errors.

Aguascalientes was notably one of the PAN states that shifted to PRI last year, apparently much thanks to Reynoso Femat.

Much bitterness here: Even though the local PAN leader, Jorge López Martín, acknowledged that Reynoso Femat can still appeal to the Tribunal, he said they will expel him from the party "as many times as necessary."

On gays: Church at it again, this time Aguascalientes bishop

My oh my. Why can't the Mexican catholic church stop obsessing about the sex life of others, particularly gays? The most recent clergy to offer less than sage input: José María de la Torre, bishop of Aguascalientes:

"the homosexual act is intrinsically contrary to natural law, and therefore is a grave moral disorder or sin..."

Yet as the bishop himself noted, the judgment for such behavior is in any case not up to humans, but to divine law: "Only God knows why they are delinquent or fall on those inclinations."

Only God knows, indeed. And only God presumably knows why Mexican catholic bishops just cannot obsessing about other people's sex life.

Yet let's end on a good note: At least the Archdiocese of Oaxaca offered an apology for the recent homophobic statements of Luis Chávez Botello, another sex-obsessed archbishop.

AMLO, if elected president, will not make a pact with the drug gangs

Andrés Manuel López Obrador, in a mass meeting of 4,000 supporters held in downtown Aguascalientes, said explicitly that he would not make a pact with the drug gangs should he be elected president.

Yet again he offered very little in terms of presenting an actual alternative to Calderón's current strategy:

"I will not make truce with the drug traffickers, we must find other strategies, to address the causes, to create employment, to provide for the young. Calderón stupidly hit the nest with a club without knowing what he was going to find."

Luis Armando Reynoso, outgoing governor of Aguascalientes, kicked out of the PAN

Luis Armando Reynoso Femat was officially expelled from PAN following a vote on its National Executive Committee - by unaminity, no less. The case was rather clear cut: Reynosa Femat went out of his way to sabotage the PAN candidate for governor in the recent elections, Martín Orozco Sandoval, campaigning instead for the PRI's Carlos Lozano de la Torre, who came out on top. Reynoso Femat didn't even bother to show up at the hearing, and the expulsion only means he will not have to resign to rejoin the PRI, a party he left in 1995.
