glimmertwin, i like your thinking. hippo did what he did because he is just a bumpkin. what is Leo's excuse?

Jorge has my support ...if this is a freedom of speech issue it is of little import whether LF is a crook or not the freedom of speech is far more important

No excuses for Mr. Fernandez, he is doing really awful and sadly he knows.

sadly, Pilar, it is possible that he does know. he is a bright guy, and one does not have to be a rocket scientist to know that he is an unequivocal disaster. the question is "does he care"?if he did, then he would do better, because he can!

Not taking sides because I'm neutral and here to learn.

If not Leonel, then who? Who has enough integrity, self-respect and selfless enough to run a country amidst crooked politicians, the lure of wealth and power etc... etc...?

Thank you Glimmer time for your accolades.

I feel that just because L.F. seems better then Hippo that does not mean we have to condone any type of steeling. And in fact it has come to my attention then LF worked for Baninter at one time or another, plus we all know that he just pardoned one of them. That to me shows he had something/ And or knowledge of the act. We also know that it has been proven that LF bought the election, stole the Sunland money and since becoming president LF is a now a multimillionaire “in Dollars”.

PLD or PLD, does it matter? Are we all not Dominicans first? And should not the country “La Patria” come first?
There was once a time when people would do “Todo Por La Patria”. And in these eras Dominican rulers where more brutal then they are now, we should not forget about those that suffered and died trying to make DR a better country. And not like LF he’s making it a better country for the tourist. I mean, man and woman that got beaten, tortured and murdered trying to make it a better country for the Dominicans. The decedents of Duarte, Sanchez Y Mella, and all the soldiers that fought under them as well.

The PLD and the PRD are tainted, they have the same founding father but none of them fallow him. It is a game, not matter which one wins its thievery and corruption they play.
They might point the finger in public but they share the same bed at night. They know each others wrong doings. But they play three blind mice to the real scandals.

PLD and PRD are letters but so is DPL.
White and Purple are colors but so are Blue, White and Red.
We are members of these parties, we Loyalist, we are Nationalist.
We are capitalist, we are socialist.
But we will always be Dominicans.

Only United can we stand, and standing United we will be Victorious!!!!

Dios, Patria, Libertad

Chillaxin

anyone with enough wisdom to answer that question can probably predict lotto numbers. like you, i see nobody in the forefront. until corruption ceases to be fashionable and acceptable, we will get a succession of like minded guys.

lol.. my uncle worked for the lotto and it is true, they rig it

Dominicans excuse for Leonel's stealing is " at least he's not Hippo".
So as long as it's Leo stealing you are ok with it but if it was Hippo then you would have a problem.

What the argument is not Hippo Vs. Leo ..... it's Stealing in General. .....

We can make a difference, next time we have the chance to vote, let's vote in favor of a person, not a party. There is still hope for us, dominicans.
