Santo Domingo.- The internal battle in Dominican Republic’s major opposition party yesterday escalated into a virtual war when its presidential candidate Hipólito Mejía slammed criticisms on Twitter from Angela Garcia, wife of that party’s president, who called Mejia’s administration (2000 to 2004) a “nightmare.”
“That her husband was Public Works minister for four years… that is a nightmare,” Mejía said in reference to PRD president Miguel Vargas.
Mejia’s statement came during a campaign rally in the impoverished community of Gualey, and stokes the raging battle, in which the statement “Si ganamaos lo sacamos, si perdemos lo matamos (if we win we out them. if we lose we kill them) has surfaced as a threat against Vargas.

How could anyone in their right mind vote for a party in such disaray and with a candidate who can issue such appalling threats ....I suppose my greatest surprise is how could Mejia be nominated in the first place,,is that party so devoid in talent

What the heck does the above statement have to do with the subject matter of the article?
Refering to the article If the candidate's troop(s) is/are displeased with his former administration it has been a long time coming to the public. Mejia, again puts his foot in his mouth by acknowledging (broadcasting) the criticisms, when he would be best served by keeping his mouth shut. Cannot blame the purple people or the Metro for this one.

Little Ricky the SUPER Narco Corruption of Lie-onel Fernandez and Felix Bautista and the Money Laundering Paradise, that you love so much (aka METROLANDIA) that they created, established the conditions for Hipoo’s return.
“We have met the Enemy and the Enemy is us” should be the Motto of the Purple Mafia and their apologist like you!

As with his "Llego Papá" nonsense, this worthless Presidential candidates has the attitudes and beliefs of that old brand of political battle from which the DR can little afford to allow back into the leadership consensus of the nation. Simply put, this Hippo crazy belongs in another Era and time; I trust that the electorate will see through his nasty and irresponsible posture. Criminal really what he is building up: If we win we kick them out, But if we should lose then VIOLENCE will secure us "victory"!!!
What a morally degenerate position on the eve of a National Election. No doubt does "wonders" for foreign investors looking at the DR.

Screw them both lets just turn on the music, get the Brugal and start the party. This is going to be a long ride my friends, might as well enjoy it............

People, it was not Hippo who did return as a presidential candidate in the first place. It was the gangster PPH who helped to get him there. Of course, Vagas would be a much better choice as a presidential candidate.

A vote for Hippo is a vote against big government, and a vote for no government.

Josean, this statement has nothing to do with the PLD party it is all about the PRD party members, so stick to the subject. Why would anybody on the right stay of mind say something of that nature in public. Well I told you why Hipolito said it, because he was in Gualey a well known no man land area where one time the police and the army were afraid on entering that neighborhood on the day light. He was talking to the most uneducate it people of the country, or should I say the area that has a large percentage of drug lord, rapist, kidnappers you name it the all live down there.

A better choice ? Maybe a different choice but "better" is the wrong adjectve.
Are you kidding me........!!! At least Mejia is not as corrupt and will keep us laughing or maybe crying for the next four years, but Vargas has "CROOK" written all over his face. Does anyone remember MARBELLA ?
I mean you just look at him and it just shows: White Collar Criminal..................
except that is past actions are decriminalized in the DR.

Come on! You can AT THE VERY LEAST give the barbarity Hippo statement its well deserved bashing.
From: Dominican Republic, calle A.Portes
Josean ..is there any proof that LF and his crew are more corrupt than the former Mejia administration ..at least under LF many good things have been achieved ,,You seem to have some sort of fixation with money laundering ..no one else mentions it but you and you try to attribute incorrect views to other people or dream up quotations from very strange sources ..
The problem is that no matter which way you twist or turn , you can not accept the fact that the DR is better now than during the Mejia years

Boy Josean you are really taking this PLD crap very personal. What it be J ?
What happened, did the PLD double cross you or what ?
Did they offer you a "botella" but failed to deliver on its promises and instead gave it to a another party contributor?

josean,
tells us that green houses produce more food than Metros.
Self-evidently correct, whether over-valued or not.
Maybe there are some, but I have not seen any starving or even under-fed Dominicans here. I have seen a lot that are overweight (the WHO says its 56%) and some obese (again WHO says 18%).
I have also endured terrible traffic congestion in Santo Domingo. Beside the fact it is not the government's responsibility to feed the people, in my humble opinion, I would say the Dominican government's expenditure on a Metro is justified. Whether it is over-priced or not is a separate question.
Regardless I doubt if Dominican transportation or nutrition will improve if Hippo returns to power.
