Leonel Learns Lessons from Bush
Turns out that opposition leaders' phones were being monitored by the Attorney General (Procurador General)...domestic wiretapping, botched storm responses, financial scandal...he really does want to make DR "el qequeño Estado Unidos" eh?

Honestly, wire tapping, inefficient gov't and financial scandals aren't exclusive to the US, therefore let's keep them out of this and keep this DR related.

So because it happens in other countries other than the DR, its' OK to casually dismiss it and just consider it the cost of living in the DR?
Whatever Leonels' government has been up to IS DR related. How is it not?
Don't want to pick a fight, just want to understand why such a topic should be pushed aside as not being DR related.

I'm making the reference to Bush and the US - is there really any point in using him to talk about what Leonel is doing wrong the in the DR?

If the comparison will help people understand what is going on in DR politics, why not?
And if there are some similarities, why not point them out and make them part of the discussion?
I see no harm in that.

Reason?: Simple. You have a agenda. It's not DR related. Nothing to do with a forum board that is DR related. Polictics and religion= oil +water. What other reasons do you want??
If tyou would like to debate this -tell me what forum board we should meet.
Regards,
JOHN

Is there anything else you would like to add to your post that would make it more intelligent or DR related?" Or is that all there is?"

Democrats, liberals, and horses of a different color--stay with the theme:
DR Related.We will worry about USA elections later. Stay focused with the ills, problems, corruption of the DR--whether you have a say in it (which I doubt) or not. Be proactive in what you can change in the DR.Voters will take care of US problems.

My reference to the Bush administration points towards LF's obsession with making the DR sort of a USA clone. If I offended anyone's sensibilities, I apologize, but I stand by my comments.
Brush it off as liberal propaganda if it makes you believe it doesn't exist.
PS: I DO have a say in it because although I live in NYC, I'm a Dominican national and exercised my right to vote in the Dominican elections...how'bout you?
