Angry Should the PRD be desolved?

If you like the idiots that are in the PRD you must be crazy. We've had only 3 political parties serve in the highest office of the Dominican Republic. The PRD has managed to screw up each one of their 12 years in office.

I can't believe this political party still exist. It is a shame that even though I was a little boy when Antonio Guzman and Jorge Blanco were in power, I can remember the HORRIBLE management of very resource rich country. Please let's not forget that the last idiot from the PRD we elected ended up taking the country 50 years back. Remember that we were the morons that voted for him even though he threatened to take tunnels and fill them up with dirt to plant Yuca.

The problem in our country is that we are used to things that are going to keep our country in ruins. Poor people want to be able to find a job that pays them a lot of money, but at the same time they want to continue receiving gifts from the goverment in the form of houses, food and even land to later sell. We are used to putting our country's problems in the hands of the government and we want also for the government to take care of the Catholic Church, by building churches and restoring old ones.

We also want our politicians to be honest, but we make fun of them if they do not steal a coulple of millions from the treasury at the end of the term.

We need to change this vicious cycle by first not ever voting for anybody from the PRD or that had any ties to the PRD. You see, the PRD symbolizes everything wrong with our country. I would even go as far as locking everyone in their membership without posibility of ever getting out. If that is not possible, then maybe we should just ban them from public office and in the case of Hipolito Mejia ban him from even speaking in public ( come one! he really should keep his mouth shut).

Finally people that oppose things just for the heck of opposing should be killed. Don't oppose the Metro just because to build it you have to cut trees. Remember back in the days when everyone was opposing the construction of "El Teatro Nacional." Well the same idiots that were opposing the construction were there almost every week. The problem is that we forget easily and we love to repeat the same mistakes.

Default I agree with you but...

The metro should be questioned...leonel has trouble maintaining overpasses
let alone build a rail system...plus leonel acts as if he will be in power for a long time to keep these projects running smoothly...I have mentioned it plenty of times if you don't invest time and money on people development
no matter what you build, in time it will crumble...

But you are write but neither the P.R.S.C or the PRD should be allowed in Dominican office again..

Yes, a one party state. What a great idea.

FYI -- Mexico is no longer a one-party state. The President is from PAN, the national legislature is a mix of PAN, PRI, PRD and PVEM, the mix among governors and state legislators varies.

desolved? how excatly is this going to serve the Democratic system?
Restructure it self, yes. Keep in mind that we should hold them accauntable and if we were to trust them again they are going to have to start working grass roots. The DR is too politiziced, I will not like to see the DR become US in the sense that everybody trust's the goverment regardless, ex. Bush sheeps. I will like to see the young generation identifying themselves with Leonel, and opening the doors to a different mind set. however, is there a contender to Leonel or are we looking at "the last dominican hope". I can see Leonel pulling a Balaguer move and staying in power until he is mummy.
