Ex presidential candidate Pedro Pablo Kuczysnki said, “I will vote for Keiko” in a morning news program on Thursday.
He said votes are not endorsable and was not expecting his followers and sympathizers to vote the same, but he did call them to elect a president “with freedom and responsibility.”

======================
I never had any doubt about how Mr. Pedro Pablo Kuczysnki would vote. He is an intelligent man. He can see right though Humala, as do most of us who love and cherish freedom, and he knows the danger there. Since PPK is a positive personality it is natural that he would gravitate toward the positive personality and upbeat nature of Keiko. Humala is angry and I believe most of his followers hail from places with negative atmospheres. They all seem to have a score to settle and feel that freedom is not for the common uncultured masses. That government redistribution is their savior. Humala’s followers want to bring down that which they have failed to participate in. They want to take away from those who have worked hard and been successful because they have not. These are the constant mantras of the left. “I’m not rich because you are!” or “The poor are poor because of you selfish rich people.” Actually, quite the opposite is true.
When conservatives see a person who has done well they think, there’s the example I want to follow. I’m willing to work hard to be like them. And thus, many hard working generations of wealthy people have come from the ranks of the poor. The poor need to be lifted up, not by bringing the rich down, but by demanding the opportunities that will allow them to follow the examples of the wealthy. When the rich are attacked everyone loses. Humala’s plan will drive out the very people that are needed to supply the opportunities to the poor. Then the poor will become all the more dependent on the government. And, that is how oppressive governments and dictators are born around the world. Monetary government assistance is a curse and an impediment to success. In some cases it is the only way to help, but it never ends with just those that have no other options. It spreads like a virus from generation to generation. Whole generations of people end up enslaved to that government check and never seek their full potential.
PPK is a person who believes in freedom, opportunity, capitalism, individual potential and self-reliance. That’s what Keiko represents and that’s why PPK will vote for her.
