Crushing democracy seems to be all the rage these days.

“Together, Rizo and Montealegre received a majority of the popular vote. But Ortega received 38 percent, which was enough to make him president.”

Are you listening, Lou Dobbs?

But the Obama administration must first make Nicaragua a priority. Thus far, it has not.

What?? Why would Ubama mess with success?
Ubama and the Democrats' "priority" right now is turning Honduras into the same kind of communist dictatorship as Nicaragua.

Evidently the nicaragauns wanted to be crushed. They voted this asswipe back into office after having gotten rid of him before.

Six magistrates made the decision to let Ortega seek reelection. And guess what? All six were Sandinista appointees--even though the court's six-member constitutional panel includes three Liberal magistrates. Those three Liberal judges were not summoned to the meeting at which the decision was made. Instead, the Sandinistas called in three "replacement" judges to guarantee their preferred ruling.

Gee, I wonder how long it is before we see this sort of tactic in the USA?

Gosh, isn’t Danny another of Jimma Carter’s legacies — like the Assahola who “liberated” Iran??

Everything according to plan, just a quarter-century later than they had planned for (danged Reagan....)

As the poorest country in Central America, Nicaragua may seem insignificant to U.S. interests.

That's because it is insignificant to US interests.

It is a FARCE to say that policymakers are “distracted by Honduras.” Nonsense. They are trying to install Communist despots in both countries. They’re just doing better in Nicaragua.

I recall the old days when Reagan was trying to support the Contras in Nicaragua against this same Communist gang. Even back then, NPR cheered for the Communists, and the Democrats in congress cut off funding for the Contras.

The Democrats just love Communist dictators everywhere, but especially in Latin America.

Closer to home, the Obamanistas are crushing democracy.
