Oh!, but you got it all wrong Mr. Montas,
all the mercenaries of the PRD are not like that,
those only care for themselves, or don't we all know that by now?
you believe men of PRD care for the world hunger that is around the corner?
same way they don't give a bleep for all Dominican,
if any decission do not obey what they want, and what they thought would get in the elections,
there is absolutely nothing to find there,
besides, they are not worth it, so disregard the classic insolence and bad manners that we
are accustom to from them.

They do not deserve our respect and anybody else respect.

I give thanks to God several times a day that did not allowed Dominican minds ,
not to elect the PRD and all the gansters,
they only care for their own benefit, and no one else's,

nothing that comes from any of them would be constructive for our country,
nothing would be positive for the well being of our people.

Right and the PLD is any better = partido ladrones dominicanos

Basta, my friend:

I am not stating the PLD people are any better, which I am positive they are not,
agree fully with you,
but this is conjuncture I send to you now, be brave and make your choice,

Given the choice in your hands to select the PRD or the PLD to govern for the next 4 years
our country,

What party you choose?.
will let that figurative decission in your hands.

Basta please sing along with us....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_81l4DXlwM

The PRD party leaders clearly demonstrate that they are nothing but sore losers who cannot come to terms with the fact that they have lost the trust of the majority of the Dominican people. This was clearly demostrated during these past elections. They will have to come to terms that even the most uneducated of voters have seen through their decades of thievary, lies, false promises and incompetence to lead the country towards economic prosperity. Contrary to popular belief, no one has forgotten the banking crisis of 2003. They thought that by hiding Hipolito Mejia in the sidelines that the people would be fooled into voting them back in. Newsflash! For them not to engage in constructive dialogue with the ruling party to confront the country's problems only reinforces their ongoing commitment to fill their own pockets and not the issues confronting the general population and the country as as whole. May they never reign again!

Hunk....you got that right ........again with a bullseye

To: BASTA

Why are you so bitter towards the PLD? If you can honestly tell me that there is no difference between the PRD and the PLD then tell me how the situation in the DR during 2000-2004 was equal to the period 2004 to the present? Are you ready to take the Pepsi challenge? Let's go! Someone must have really pissed you off or you are terribly disgruntled at something. Could it be that you were one of those "botellas" that held a "do nothing but collect a salary" job during the Hipolito administration? Do tell...

Ouch!

Only difference between the time Hippo was in office and now is that things are a lot more expensive for Dominicans and now a lot more for people with foreign incomes. Hippo had the sovereign bonds and Leonel has the Chavez loans which should make the sovereign bonds pale already and make it appear insignificant in the future.

If you don't think Leonel is a wealthy man from this presidency you are out of your minds. He is just a Hippo with Hair. No different.

To: Escott

I take that to mean that you would have preferred that the DR be under a PRD administration?

Whether LF is a wealthy man or not is not the larger issue. What you need to ask yourself is what he has done to improve the country vs. what the PRD has done to improve the country. If you can give me any great example of the PRD's accomplishments, I'll take my hat off to you. Think back during the HM administration at the value of the peso, the high crime rate, the banking crisis, etc. You need to come to the realization that in a capitalist society there will always be haves and have nots. Your push towards socialism is obvious. Just look at what Chavez had done with Venezuela. At the end of the day, you think that the poor will be better off but the truth is that no one will be better off because all those rich folks who foster the economy will be long exiled in Miami just like the Cubans. And then what will you have? Think about that one for a GOOD while.

Hunk bullseye again ...these people are whiners and complainers some with twisted DATA and STATISTICS....trying to go down the socialist road

To: gouletcolonial

It just never ceases to amaze me. No matter if the facts are staring at these folks straight in the face; they still don't get it...do they? Yet these are same folks who'll whine about what's wrong with capitalism, why the rich are getting richer and they're getting poorer but you'll never see them on the next "yola" to the island of Communist Cuba.

Take care!

The socilist road?
I doubt that.
Let's not forget that here are congresional elections in two years and that in our beautiful country campaining start the day after the last election. PRD already started doing that, unfortunately they are chosing, as usual, to put the interest of the "party" before the interest of the country.
They are waiting for the gov. to fail in this world crisis so they could capitalized on it and win some seats in congress in two years and start campaining for the presidency......QUE LASTIMA QUE NUESTRO PAIS NO SEA CAPAZ DE PONER A UN LADO LA POLITIQUERIA BARATA Y PONER SUS MEJORES HOMBRE Y MUJERES AL SERVICIO DE LA PATRIA SIN IMPORTAR SU IDIOLOGIA POLITICA.

Hunk, my man, thanks very much for the plenitude of your words,
you just made my work here easier, could not have been better,

all you said are more reasons why, mediating with PRD, is hell itself,
they will be the same no matter what, bravuconadas y palabras vacias,

They are talking now about transparency of the government with the economy and money dealing,
when in hell have they been transparent about that?

To: DennisC

The answer is clear, NEVER, but alas, we will need to deal with the opposition (like it or not). Ultimately, it will serve as a checks and balances for the PLD. The road ahead is difficult for the PLD because for every step forward they take; the PRD is there to push them back. The only way the PRD knows how to stand out and look "good" (if that's even possible) is by making their opponents look bad (even if they've been guilty of the same things they bring to light) but certainly not by their own achievements.

on another subject BUSH has just announced he is going to allow Cuban expatriates to send cell phones to their relatives in Cuba ......??????......do you think the Castros will allow this? can you imagine a couple hundred thousand cell phones in Cuba....it will be very interesting....as of now you can buy them but they cost 7 months pay

The Cuban Gov. changed the rules on cell phones now, but, the cuban people have being using cell for a long time, illegally, I worked with Cuban l who are not just driven by the media retoric. What BUSH did is nothing but politics.....BS

BIG difference between legal and illegal....maybe not to a Dominican........ that is the problem with your governments....anyway big shooter black market king from Cuba .... You miss the whole point having grown up spoiled in a society where these things come to you easily ....The importance of receiving something that gives you access to the outside world that would cost 7 months pay should not be dismissed as BS...let us see if the communists allow the people to have Bushs BS ....meaning the cellphones.....and if your cuban buddies think its BS they should go back and live with Rauls BS

That's always the end of the arguments for some people, "they should go back" the same argument used when a person critize the US. Do you think that the corruption in Latin America was born in Latin America, it is the result of US and EU intervention in our countries for centuries. They decided who was going to be president and they corrupted the system so that they could take whatever they want out of it. I bet that right now your mind is saying.."this guy is a communist", well, I am not, but, I do not let the media control what I think. Go and visit Cuba and you will see that there is nothing to envy to the rest of Latin America...even with things costing 7 month pay....I do not miss the point and I grewup a hungry Kid in Los Minas.

Unfortunately the problem of Latin America lies in its foundation and the building blocks inherited from colonial Spain....not USA or the EU....maybe after 5 centuries things are beginning to change for the better

the Spanish Culture is fabouloso the governmental systems they left behind are the problem...Spain does not even use them anymore

I think that is was not only Spain, the French, the British, Holland, etc. Non of the countries South of Rio Bravo scape to the same malice. United States has its share of blame, because, they imposed dictatorships in most countries in order to be albe to exploit its land. Trujillo, Zomosa, Strosner, DIaz Pinilla, Betancur, Pinochet, etc.. Also look at what happened in Africa, hundreds of years of colonialism and then they left them behind to kill each other. Haity was the first independent country in teh new world and they paid a high price for it.. Is there any hope for Haity?

they imposed nothing on Latin America they took the road of least resistance....... the governments in place had no integrity all the US wanted was stability for its markets...Africa is a story of pure colonialism and can be thrown at the European doorstep...they are paying a heavy price today for their errors in judgment ..... Haiti the second independent country in the new world was treated like a leper because the Europeans feared a spread of the slave rebellions....thus Haiti turned inward and stopped growing with the rest of the world...a pity and a path the DR did not follow in fact the exact opposite inviting one and all to come to the DR as a bulwark against further aggression from Haiti
