MIAMI, March 16 -- Mauricio Funes, a former TV newsman who was recruited to run for president, declared himself the winner of El Salvador's presidential contest Sunday night, bringing into power a leftist party built by former guerrillas and ending two decades of conservative rule.
Funes, a dynamic speaker and political outsider who compares himself to President Obama and pledged to be an agent of change in the small Central American nation, was leading the polls late Sunday night with 51.2 percent of the vote and more than 90 percent of the ballots counted. Turnout was high and election day was mostly calm.
If the lead holds, Funes and the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN) will take control of a nation struggling with an economic crisis and a murder rate that is among the highest in the world. The country has also suffered through 12 years of civil war, which left more than 70,000 people dead.

I guess the whole damned world is going communist now that we have.
It's an American hemisphere thing.
Memo to all Salvadorans in south Florida: Turn in your leaf blowers and go back to your new workers’ paradise.
LOL!
Is there any way that a leaf blower can be used to power small craft?

Not everything is as it seems.

Jimmy Carter will arrive soon to certify the election.
The voters who keep electing these commies will only have themselves to blame when their futures go down the economic drain The same is applicable for those which allowed the Obama leftist totalitarian crowd to seize power.
“take control of a nation struggling with an economic crisis and a murder rate that is among the highest in the world. The country has also suffered through 12 years of civil war, which left more than 70,000 people dead.”
that’s the problem with being a conservative. It’s easy to be a liberal: just blame everyone else for the problems and redistribute the wealth. A conservative has to actually solve the problems and not everyone knows how to do that.

The hemispheric socialist dictatorship is slowly drifting northward. Once immigration reform is passed we will get a leftist latin president in the US that will make Obama seem mild by comparison. Also Hispanics will nudge out blacks and whites and they don’t “share” power. They aren’t into that. The irony is that it will be a black president that will make all of that possible.
Interesting prediction.
Being “Hispanic” by birth, I think I can speak with some authority on the subject.
Forgive me, but what the hell are you talking about?
Demographics, plain and simple. Hispanics will own this country by the end of the century. The womb is the real weapon of mass destruction.
