19 Dec 05 - 08:49 AM (#1630481) Subject: BS: Tremendous Victory From: Donuel The populist candidate of the indiginous people of Bolivia won the Presidency. US democracy should borrow a page from Bolivia. Standardized voting law virtually everywhere except the US which allows each seperate state/province to have authority in interpreting the vote. ie Florida's Katherine Harris being able to deny a recount. US democracy should borrow a page from the rest of the world. Bush mired in a losing war has fired dissenting generals and now calls Americans defeatists in despair. He borrowed a page from a losing Hitler. ..... In the recent revelations, I see reason for hope that a victory for a democracy for the people and a defeat of the neocon fascist imperialism of the past. As China becomes a permissive and advanced society with the #1 GNP in 12 years and the US no long can claim to be the #1 World power there will be those who will try to reclaim the "good old days" but the people who honor true democracy and the true meaning of our Constitution will prevail. The pendulum is nearly stopped and about to swing back in favor of a goverment by the people. Instead of folk songs merely decrying oppression and injustice we need songs of great hope celebration and tremendous victory to hearald the new days coming. |

Donuel, I think you got it wrong... "The evil Communist conspiracy in Bolivia has again temporarily triumphed over the forces of Democracy led by the USA. As you President, I pledge to undermine the deceitfully elected dictators and introduce real US style Democracy" Woops, that's the old one, Communism, isn't it? Ah let me see now - Terrorists, ok, I'll rewrite it... |

Evo Morales would need to look to his back as the CIA are most likely preparing a murder squad to take this DEMOCRATICALLY elected President out, any means will do, their bloodied hands have been active for years in latin America. |

Of course it always depends upon how you measure success. |

(remember, Fidel Castro represented a 'populist victory' once..) |
