Elections today in Ecuador. Woohoo. Control your enthusiasm. There has been a steady drift away from U.S. influence in South American politics, thanks to the Bush banana republicans trying to have all of the bananas themselves. Will the drift to the left continue?
Same story at the banana polls. The guy on the left is a young, guitar strumming charismatic fellow, doctorate in economics Univ. of Illinois. He thinks Bush is a dimwit.
The guy on the right is a bible toting banana baron., Ecuador's richest man and a billionaire no doubt due to the low wages he's paid Ecuadorians.
Three quarters of Ecuador is in poverty so one would expect the guy on the left to wipe up? Polls show a close race? There's always voter tampering in South American elections..oh yeah...I forgot ...Ohio, Florida...never mind.
The guy on the right has been throwing fistfuls of cash and free computers ( someone could get hurt?) at his campaign stops and promising to be the savior of the poor. And save them from what, banana barons?

ah, good old paraguay.....are you saying things may not go so well for the bush factory down there?
its not the size of the banana, its how you use it.
Do you think all those free computers might be *gasp* tampered with???
Off topic Q, are you voting in that byelection tomorrow?
Ecuador's in line with Colombia and Venezuela; oil,cocaine and bananas all under the control of the left. Drives repukes mad.
Sadly, Q is in London West and won't have the pleasure of not voting for the evil 'god hates gays' Dianne Haskett. Harper's crew are neo-nazis for choosing her. She should be deported back to Jesusland via Syria.
where is jesusland
