I hope Mejia wins for 2 reasons

[Onions&carrots]

1) It will benefit greatly my family as it already has.
2) The DR population is too dumb, uneducated and ignorant to comprehend Dr. Fdnz technocratic economic verbiage. He lacks charisma, is as dry as bland potatos. He doesn't connect with the poor.

Even though people like Fdnz. would be better in the long term for the DR we don't need him. Somos un pai de come'platano. Thus our neurons can't fathom all his jibber-jabber.

That is as dumb a statement as those made by visitors to the country 20 years ago then complained when they returned this year that life wasn't as rustic as it was when they first visited.

Keep the people poor and ignorant. Take away the cars and bring back the burros and mules. Scrap the computers. Turn back the clocks and calendars and block all progress.

Don't let Dominicans go to the US and make big salaries. Keep them home, dumb and poor, in their conucos.

The visitors like it better and so do some Dominicans who are feeding at Hippo's trough.

Dear Forum Members,
I am not sure if this came to him in a dream .. or whether he has been watching too much TV .. but this is the BEST DECISION that Hipolito Mejia has ever made in his ENTIRE PRESIDENCY ..
Firstly, there is no reason for Dominican troops to be fighting against "enemies" that have never targeted the DR .. Iraq was never your enemy .. they NEVER demonstrated HOSTILE INTENT or attacked the DR .. DR TROOPS are in IRAQ because Mejia is trying to get favors from BUSH in Mejia's RE-ELECTION campaign .. THAT'S A SHAME .. SHAME .. SHAME .. SHAME ..
Secondly, there is no reason for Dominican troops to be fighting in a BUSH FAMILY vendetta .. his father screwed up in the Gulf War #1 .. so the SON tries to fix the problem in Gulf War #2 .. that is totally Sicilian and does not makes sense for the DR .. war should not be a MAFIA VENDETTA ..
Thirdly, there is no reason for the DR to become an instrument of the INSANE US POLICY IN THE MIDDLE EAST .. we are going there like a bunch of racist bastards linking up with ISRAEL in an effort to WIPE OUT THE ARABS .. just because we don't like their religion .. or their appearance .. or some other RACIST criterion .. very much like those of the POST COLUMBIAN CONQUISTADORS that raped and pillaged the Caribbean and South America .. that's what we have become .. the NEW CONQUISTADORS .. what a shame .. for a nation that is so "ADVANCED" like the UNITED STATES .. ESTADOS UNIDSO .. WHATEVER ... SHAME .. SHAME .. SHAME ..
I am ASHAMED to say this .. but this decision alone .. is enough for me to PRAISE THE DOMINICAN PRESIDENT .. for the first time in many years .. he has demonstrated that he has both the BRAINS and the GUTS to stand up to GEORGE BUSH ..

Yours Truly,

Dominican troops coming home soon
Following the lead of Spain and Honduras, General Lieutenant Jose Miguel Soto Jimenez announced yesterday that the troops would be home in two weeks, or as soon as the logistics can be implemented to remove them from Iraq. Hoy newspaper quotes Soto Jimenez as saying that President Mejia’s wishes are the same as the army’s – to have them home as quickly as possible. Honduras, too, is moving to hasten the return of their troops. The DR presently has 302 troops deployed in Iraq and Honduras has 369.
Meanwhile, in Washington, DC, the White House press secretary, Scott McClellan, said yesterday that the US deeply regrets the withdrawal of Dominican and Honduran troops from Iraq, according to El Caribe. McClellan said the situation has reached a crucial juncture as the coalition tries to restore democracy to Iraq and the enemies of that state try to destroy it. He said the coalition would remain strong in its determination and efforts without the Dominican and Honduran support.

sangwong, take that crap elsewhere unless you are trying to get this thread killed. An attack on the Iraq war and George Bush is sure to anger the webmaster since these topics have been placed on the black list due to the response they bring, both positive and negative.

If you want to say you are for Hippo because he is bringing the Dominican troops home, fine. But leave the rest of your opinionated garbage in the trash can where it belong.

hey ken i read somewhere you've been in the dr since 85. tell me something about yourself? are dr or gringo?

The only thing I wont like about a Fernandez administration is that we will see A-holes and thieves like Alvarez Renta, RBF and the Pelleranos back and about, showing off as if they are honorable people and have not done anything wrong, wheeling and dealing in the National Palace again.
Oh, also that fro and mustache makes him look like Lionel Ritchie and who the hell would want him as president?.....let go of the 80's dude. Other than that, I couldn't care less because I know he knows he cant do crap to straighten this place up again.

Maybe it should be mushrooms & carrots.

Anyway it would be too easy to bash you, but based on your posts that is probably what you want anyway.

Your thread should go to the joke forum..but anyway if you are serious you must be one hell of a loser to be proud of this sorry *** government.

if the gov't would have benefited you you'd also want to see them back. disorder and opportunity spell profit for those who lie in wait.

If there was some crazy fool killing people at the top of the mountain and throwing them off, while you collected up their boots to sell them, would you want him to go on killing because you benefited finacially by his crimes?
Everybody knows that El Burro has darn near bankrupted this country and shown dictator-like behaviour.
To wish him in one more time for your own personal gain and to the detriment and destruction of others is not only irresponsible, but immoral as well.
If you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem.
Live up to your duty in life & take a stand for what is right.

I am not sure as have never met onions and carrots but from previous post I am going out on a limb and saying I think he is being sarcastic as a way of starting the conversations.
I could be wrong.
