Santo Domingo.- While president Hugo Chavez handily won the election in Venezuela, in the Dominican capital suffered a humiliating defeat, according to figures from the South American nation’s embassy.

It said an overwhelming majority of its nationals living in Dominican Republic voted for Chavez’s rival candidate Henrique Capriles.

Of 675 Venezuelans registered to vote locally, only 492 cast a ballot, of which 376 went for Capriles, or 76.42 percent and 113 picked Chavez, or 22.97 percent.

The Venezuelan embassy added that only three of the cast votes were null and 72.2 percent of the Venezuelans living in Santo Domingo took part in the polls.

Partly from his generosity through the Petrocaribe oil deal, Chavez enjoys wide popularity among Dominicans.

This poll was a waste of time and money. That’s like asking the Miami Cuban’s and the Batista’s to vote for Fidel. Or better yet, the angry white man to vote for Obama.

Now ALL we need is an Hugo Chávez as President of the Dominican Republic.

The country could be Peral of the Caribbean, BUT, with ALL the ladrones in office we will never get there.

Chavez re-election has moved LA to the dark political years of the Caudillos, dictators of the 40s-70s. Soon, RD will joint this elite group: Castro, Chavez and The Purple Dragons. Here are some figures and “accomplishments of Chavez’ regime”.

• Investment is virtually non-existent, but disinvestment is rampant. In the last decade, more than 4,000 businesses have shut their doors, with several factories relocating to the Colombian coastal city of Barranquilla and other friendly locations.

• Government confiscations of private enterprises. Well over 120 established firms across every segment of the economy have been seized, more than 75 of them in the failing petroleum sector.
Unemployment. Officially 8.2%.

Crime is so rampant that CARAQUEÑOS resignedly describe their city as the murder capital of the world. DR is almost there (I think that we are # 1, in the Caribbean).

Are you part of the Fox, so called news service of misinformation and propaganda. Or just part of the angry white man’s club? As Fox does it so well of repeating it over and over that what the rest of us need to do. It’s the angry “white man” at it again. Don’t you know, the world is know longer interested in your opinions. Your time has pasted.

So what happened after Chavez's special prayer session with Nicky-the-hat, Leo-scissor-hands and the Virgin-Mother Margareta at the Dominican Palace some time back - has he had a miracle cure? The lead-time for becoming a saint is being shortened by the Vatican every time - maybe it won't need to be posthumously any more? He's never gonna be Secretary General of the UN, but the fist living saint may be next best thing.

Trust me, another 50 years back into the “ LATIN AMERICA DICTATORSHIP LIFE CYCLE”. For those ignorants this re-election may not mean much to you.... but Dominicans are “masters imitators”.

I am from Massachusetts and completed my graduate degree, from the Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University. And yes I have been to Cuba and Venezuela many times. And yes you are, without a doubt the classic angry white man. I do not use acronyms such as STFU, I will leave that for you and your level of education. You do not have the capacity to have an intellectual conversation with yourself, never mine a public one. You are so lonely and angry you just can’t see it, I truly feel sorry for you.

CZ,
Obviously your so called “Harvard education” is not helping you much. If you cannot see that the radical regimes of Venezuela (another six more years), Ecuador, Bolivia Nicaragua and Cuba the granddaddy of the dictatorships in the hemisphere, are moving LA to a far left dictatorship bloc. My request to you of: STFU stands.

In the old days in medicine, it used to be called the “Heckle and Jeckle” personality syndrome. Sometimes he is clever and to the point, and other times he is just a clown, who acts foolish (sarcastic and irrelevant). For the most part the Ass Hole personality has the tendency to manifest itself most of the times
