When it comes to being offered jobs or money, even the most "so called" smart Dominicans in some cases will forget about the past.
Many people have not got anything out of the PLD in regards to a handout or job etc.
So they will work at being seen to support the PRD by bringing in voters, make an effort to turn up at rallies etc. They do this as someone higher up the food chain has promised them a job if the PRD win. This is how many supporters are recruited and how votes are brought.
They will get the President they deserve. If that President turns out to be a complete incompetent idiot, then that is a reflection on the people that elected him or her.
If the PRD got back in power, I would seriously consider leaving the DR.
Maybe it's time to re-introduce this:
I Plan on Being Installed as Benevolent Grand Poobah for Life of the DR Shortly
I have some new proclamations:
-There will be a total ban on any light on a vehicle on the roads in excess of 65W. There can be no more that two (2) of these.
-It shall be illegal for a begger to rub his tummy and ask for food (or pesos) while eating a sucker, cracker, dolce or any other food.
-Every day will be Christmas Eve so we can have yummy spit-roasted road-side pork.
-I will raise import duty of any Johnny Walker product 3 pesos per bottle. The money collected will be used to build 3 nukuler power plants and offer free electricity to every Dominican for life. That's just the first year.
-I will create the DBI. Decibel Bureau of Investigation. You WILL have the "right" to remain silent.
-I will build "motorcycle only" lanes on all public roads. o
-"No Hay" willl no longer be considered a stocked store item.
-I will add strict Personal Hygeine Laws to current Immigration statutes. Foreigners will have to pass them in order to come into the country.

What are yours?
