It is a pity Balaguer did not resign in 1966 and save all these losers the trouble of resigning today...we can only imagine that scenario....and dream

El Partido Reformista as a term "party" died when Balaguer gave in on July 14, 2002, the fighting cock has crocked and 80 percent of it has been purchased by the PLD.

Crushing deafeat is not the word. More like total and undeniable affirmation that the Reformistas are just political mercenaries, being bought and sold at will. Go home to you new father Leonel, i'm sure he has a "nominilla" waiting for them.

Poeta talk about a sore loser .....ouch

Speaking the truth is not being sore. When a party fails to receive less the 5% of the electoral vote, and 80% of its members vote for Leonel means it can no longer call itself a party.

Throughout the ages there have been political movements (parties) which have fell by thewayside when their usefulness in the political arena has been preempted by another, or when they have shown themselves to be inept in the government activities.
This is the case with the PRSC andsoon, the PRD.
What other parties will emerge to fill the void remains to be seen.
Maybe one which will abide by the Dominican Constitution and will be dedicated to the betterment of the nation as a whole, abrogating the current propencity towerd blatant corruption, clientism and seekers of botellas.
There needs to be a sweeping change in the manner in which this government functions with a concentration on transparancy, with honesty and integrity in all Administrative dealings regarding government functions andpolicies.

I, for one am thrilled that these parasites went the way of the DODO bird...They might not have been the worst of the leeches, though they were cerntainly the first.

Cacique;

The members of ALL thepolitical parties are concidered to be "LEECHES" in my book, so we can't just say that the PRSC is alone in that title.

Gouletcolonial and Poeta25:

The PRSC party is not dead yet.. Balaguer 2012-2016.. The party will rise again. and the fighting cock still alive and well. a new breed is been develop.. smart guy, who can put up a fight. See you in 2012.

Por Amor a la patria.
Y yo seguiere a caballo.

juliony;

If you can make a comeback with HONOR and INTEGRITY, have an Administration sans hipocracy, clientism and sans botellos, maintain an atmosphere of transparancy in all your dealings with the public and with businesses, then you'll have my support.
However, if you intend to have the same old approach to administering the govenment of the Dominican Republic, A LA BALAGUER, HIPOLITO and others of that ilk, then you might as well cut off your pecker, because thieves are no longer wanted down here.
Just what do you intend to change from the past other than the way you present your lies???

TexasBill

and don't confuse me with that other Texan, GWB, cause we ain't related in any form.

Joaquin Balaguer took over and finished what Rafael Leonidas Trujillo began the infrastructure of the country. Thank you Balaguer.

Texas Bill, we will be meeting soon to select new board of Directors...a new platform for the PRSC party will be created. Balaguer built bridges and apartments to those in need. The PLD party has been following the same tradition as of Balaguer. But the only major problem in the DR is the electricity. There is a soluction to that problem but the PLD is not looking forward to solve it.

A new constitution signed by the Dominican people not just the president and the senate. what e better example than the constitution of the United States of America, but ofcourse we will adjust a few things.

I believe that in order for our country to progress, we need to have a separation of church and state. The basic rights of owning land. We need to learn from the best in order to move forward.

The PRSC got a very respectable 11% in the 2006 legislatives, but plunged embarrassingly to only 4 lousy points last Friday. Between the 2004 presidential and 2006 legislatives, the PRSC enjoyed a nice uptick from about 9 to 11 percent. But,again, from the 2006 legislatives to the 2008 presidential, the PRSC stumbles from 11% way down to 4%.

WOW! WHAT HOPPEN?

LF(speaking to PRSC leader): I want to buy you, if you sell I'll pay a good price.

PRSC LEADER (deliberating privately in his mind): Well, let me see. The PRSC will lose May 16 whether I accept or reject LF's money. So, if I accept LF's offer, I will not hurt the PRSC. And, if I reject the offer, I will not help the PRSC. I really need the money. So, the issue is not whether to help or hurt the PRSC, but rather the issue is whether to help or hurt me. Why should I be hurt if it won't help us win? There's no reason.

PRSC LEADER (tearfully speaking to LF): How much is a "good price?"

However, the problem.
Con't

Between 2004 - 08, LF drops 57% to 54%.

If LF bought PRSC, then his number should have rose one, two or even three points. But it didn't rise, it fell.

Either PRD or the no name "others" scored on the PRSC's bad day.

Forgeting, for a moment, the no-names, we see PRD did about 33% in 2004 and 40% last Friday. So, PRD picked up a big 7 points.

Let's find out where the 7 points came from?

PLD (57% down to 54% between 2004 and 2008) lost 3 points and let's give them to the PRD, leaving 4 points unaccounted for,

PRSC (8% down to 4% between 2004 and 2008) lost 4 points and let's also give them to the PRD.

So, the big 7-point jump of the PRD resulted from taking 3 points from the PLD and 4 points from pitiful PRSC.

Now, the messer-upper is the "other" half dozen minor parties on May 16. But with PLD's 53%, the PRD's 40%, and PRSC's 4%, that's 97% accounted for, leaving the "others" with only 3%. And they can't mess up much with only 3%, because we talking a big 7%.

Let us not forget, this is for you arcatype. That after the U.S. intervention in 1965, the U.S. rigged the elections and installed Balaguer into power as there little puppet.
Balaguer appealed the rich, and installed a CIA operative “Sacha Volman” as director of Falcon Bridge, And lots of other ugly things.
Have you ever heard of La Banda ?
PRSC is just a cover Balaguer made up, murders and tyrants always want to make themselves look Godly.

To: Chillaxin201 Sure Joaquin Balaguer was a tyrant? Tell me of a president in the history of the Dominican Republic that built large numbers of apartment units for the poor masses in D.R. The first president to continue and expand the building of major roads for transportation, and the list goes on hospitals, schools, bridges etc. Who Joaquin Balaguer!!!!! nobody else. Leonel has been following his footsteps, infrastructure and more funding for education should be the focus for the next four years.

archie you are a follower of Balaguer....... how can you humor the resident communist stooge? you come across as lefty PRD when posting replies to brain damaged parrot and communist stooge

"you are a follower of Balaguer....... how can you humor the resident communist stooge? you come across as lefty PRD when posting replies to brain damaged parrot and communist stooge," wrote GC, the Canadian government crazy check recipient.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

GC, your obsession with "Reds" changes you from ridiculous into pathetic.

Are you afraid the Canadian government will cut off your crazy check because you found or regained your mind?

Well, have no fear, GC.

Your mind jumps left and right, foward and back, up and down, around and around; so, you will never find it.

GC, where do you cash your crazy check? Is it deposited electronically in a bank account?

Resident communist stooge crawls out of sewage pipe to comment hot air and spew more poison

Belial,

I'm not sure if you are aware but Estrella left the PRSC and created his own party. Before Balaguer passed away the leardship of the party was handle to Estrella. Now on this election we had a problem by a group of members whom sold their democracy to Aristy for a few Pesos.

We are reorganizing ourselves to come strong in the 2012-2016 election.

Y yo seguire a caballo.

resident communist stooge on a scale of 1 to 10 idiocy scale is hard 9........10 being staitjacket

I think CACIQUE, said it the best way:
and I agree with him,
it is time for all those parasites to get the hell away,
that party should be banished and done with it.

Each time I see that arrogant face of Gomez Casanova, pressuming of big thing, when he is nothing but a clown, is more than enough to realize that party got to the end of it's course.

Dennis do me a favor and give resident communist stooge a wack with that pinata stick ....he is deserving

you know if you ignore GC, he'll no longer have and audience

come on chill sing along the PLD songhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_81l4DXlwM
