And this coming from one of the most corrupt players during Hipolito's rein.

Until the Dominican Republic becomes a Nation ofGIVERS instead of a Nation of TAKERS, no amount of rhetoric is going to take root and grow into tree of HONOR and INTEGRITY.

TexasBill

Let's get the truth out about his purchase and sale of the Hispaniola, and then maybe he will either have some credibility in talking about corruption, or more likely disappear.

This guy wants to be elected so, to me it just another corrupt politician

His previous track record is proof enough how badly he is lying. He had his chances and failed already miserably. Someone should point that out to him since he is apparently too occupied counting his corruption and drug proceeds to remember we all know who he is.

Give me a break. All of these slimeballs lie the same way and as soon as they are in office it's bussiness as usual.

They must think that all Dominicans are stupid.

All of you you sound so smart mainly the one from Unites States, my god!!!! please come to DR and fix this problems, do the invasion thing you are good at, or maybe sell us more guns so we can kill each other, ah but maybe you don't care there is not oil here eh!

please! please! come we need your help US,
after all you need to keep the drugs flowing or you country can collide.

(am so tired of reading criticism, racism and discrimination, about the Dominican Republic, and not positive ideas at all, mainly the ones from Unites States, calling us morons, retarded, bla! Bla! on every article here, PLEASE look around you and be honest to yourself before you comment.
NOT EVERY ONE IN DR IS THE SAME.

I'll be watching you

MADMAX.

Vargas is trying to reband the disgruntled suckers that made the PLD win the last 2 elections and did not get their botellas.

Maybe it'll work.

It has nothing to do with fighting corruption though. Rather, everything to do with getting a shot at it.

The message from the Anti- Dominicans defamation league here of corruption, corruption and more corruption, its starting to sound IO..... Chill folk, your message has a negative effect and quite frankly, is pathetic//

MadMax;

I spent over 10 years in the DR observing your political process at work (???).
As a result of those observations, I made the statement posted.
While being critical in some eyes, the statement I made is true, as I am sure you will agree when you stand back and take a god look at your mores and society.
I have many friends in the DR whom I consider to be incorruptable. Unfortunately, their voices are drowned out by the repetative rhetoric of your consistantly elected officials.
None of the political parties represented are any different from each other in the final analysis and the sooner you and others who continue to make excuses for their perfomance the sooner you will be able to begin to change the international public's opinion of your country.
I moved my family (my wife and three adopted children) to the USA so they would have opportunities not available to them in the DR's social and political atmosphere.
I do not apologize for my statement.

TexasBill

he is the one of the most corrupt guys in dr., yet he want anticorrupt pact?

go ahead.... man...... corrupt more...... show your stealing abilities......

Would it be fair to say that DR is a third world country; would it be fair to say that 90% of Latin America is third world; would it be fair to say that in that 90%, DR is the most corrupt, some folks, fall on their asses believing so and that their prerogative….we see everyday more and more oversight agencies looking at the issue of corruption, so don’t try to, sweet talk us out of our believe that our nation is not addressing the issue.

If these agencies are REALLY looking into the obvious and abundant corruption where are the results?

Where are the criminal prosecutions? Where are the penalties? Where is the punishment?

Until I, and many others, see results we are forced to believe that these commissions are just for show.

Pull up your panties smarty, and answer the grandiose questions.... that is, if you really live in paradise//

TexasBill,
I beg your pardon.
But Excuses Where? am very aware of what the DR is, am not excusing anybody here,
I have never agree or even vote for any Politicians of the DR cause they all teach me not to and I have no choices. The only different between Politicians in other Nations and DR is Transparency. My message was not direct exclusively to you but when you and others just repeat and repeat things like:
Nation ofGIVERS instead of a Nation of TAKERS
Please tell me do you look into the DR History in your 10 years living there to find out how much is been Taken from other Nations? wich are the GIVERS Nations? the ones that Bla Bla Bla Haiti and then nothing, come on! DR really have a problem, A BIG ONE with Haiti, but is OK the GIVERS will come no? HONOR? hehe this is a good one I really love to see some of that any where in the world, maybe in a jungle of Japan you'll find some the western influence din'd get.
The DR Extructure and education will never be fix till

and Criticism and Def

will no help,
and of course I feel bad as a Dominican reading all the bullshit, one main Nations put in here.

Max......sometime I feel the same way, but that's the open media....give them hell, but, be advised, that most of the time you are dealing with One User, Using, multiple personality
