Haiti's Electoral Farce Continues in June of 2009

Here is the problem about politic in Haiti. No one and absolutely no one is able to see the problem of Haiti for lacking of common sense. We all are more idealist than pragmatic, “for the sake a nation to not say otherwise”. As Socrates mentioned that in his apology, it takes a whole system to teach the youths, and then it takes only one person to corrupt them. This implies that the system had, have, and probably will have a terrible problem. Who is responsible for that? Our grandparents, excluding the founders of the independence, are.

Back to Aristide and Preval, Aristide was a man of heart in 1990, but he was not ready for this king of office, which he claimed himself. BUT who did vote for him? All of you, why? Because you are brainless. Upon returning from exile, he has become an mercenary, a Papa doc,……..
And Preval himself knows who knows Aristide better than every single Haitian on earth will never ever make an effort to bring him BACK to HAITI. As a matter fact, both Aristide, and Preval can not do anything for Haiti, I don’t even need to talk about the others.
To be short, they ARE ALL patatis
Haiti needs new leaders with new education, new vision, new belief (not religion belief), and people who have respect for the children.

I am not much into reading, but somehow I got to read lots of articles on your blog.
Its amazing how interesting it is for me to visit you very often :)
Please come visit my site restaurants I would love some feedback on my site

Michael collins.Who are you? probably you are being paid by t Preval,the bubbling idiot who is president of Haiti.Are you good friend of Andre Apaid, the sweat shop boss who was the leading opponent of Aristide.For those who have a short memory, it is important to remember that Aristide was kidnapped by Bush.Michael Collins must be an admirer of Bush.Same philosophy. He must be a fan of water boarding, the invasion of Iraq. Sleep well mr Collins, you are making good cash for your lies.

The International Community lied about turn outs in the first Haitian election in 1990. They claimed a high turn out when, in fact, it was something less than ten percent. The true average has been something around 5% with the April 19, 2009 seeing less than 1% voting.
Like the old Indian saying..."A dog walking beneath a loaded wagon believes he is carrying the weight".....Lavalas claims they are responsible for the low turn out - because they were barred from the process.
This is not so. Lavalas was out of the election because its members fragmented into two groups and could not decide upon candidates in a collective manner. There was one registered Lavalas party - not two. Aristide would not reognize either, and he IS their leader. Blame Aristide, not the rest of the world.
The low turn out was due to the fear and indifference of the majority. They have seen that the democratic process has done nothing more than make Lavalas politicians very rich while the 9,000,000 other Haitians have their standard of living diminish to nothing. Aristide left with something like $1.5 billion, not bad for a priest who had $75.00 in the Royal Bank during 1990!!
DEMOCRACY HAS NO CALORIES
We should forget this fixation with ballots and focus on education, work, medical facilities and the near zero Haitian ecological situation. The, $16,000,000 blown on the April 19 fiasco would buy a lot of medicine, rice and beans, for Haiti's starving children.

it is amazing to me that all over the world, partisans are willing to ignore the violence of those they support while disapproving of others doing similar things. FL has it's own history of violence in elecctions in Haiti, but that is ignored by it's supporters. maybe people would take this type of article more seriously if ALL violence by political parties were condemned instead of only that by those who oppose the particular position of the writer. what is not said in the article, but understood in Haiti, is that many did not vote out of fear of FL violence against them.
