I hate to say it but I have heard comments from Domincans talking about their family who made it big in politics and did whatever they could do legally and illegally to make sure they were set after their four years - and guess what, they discuss it so nonchalantly, if not proudly. Unfortunately, what these bozos don't realize is they are ridiculed and lambasted in Western society as being the clowns and immoral thieves that they are. There is a big disconnect between how their understanding of democracy and the real deal. Worse is the gall they have to criticize other countries politics and lack of democracy - amazing - straight from the stoneages. I suppose ignorance is bliss, eh?
