Commie Comeback?

CommieTommie Harkin's (center), and for that matter John Kerry's (left) favorite dictator is poised for a comeback.

Daniel Ortega is leading a field of 5 candidates for President of Nicaragua.

Thanks mainly to Ronald Reagan, Ortega was thrown out of office 16 years ago after his Sandinista's were forced to hold free elections.

He also lost in elections held in 1996 and 2001.

Ortega is receiving huge support from Che Junior, Venezualan leader Hugo Chavez.

Che Junior is providing subsidized oil to the Sandista mayors to help buy votes and sending illegal cash contributions.

It appears the Nicaraguan public is like the American public, suffering from Attention Deficit Disorder.

Under Ortega's rule Nicaragua's socio-economic standings were the worst of all Central American nations.

Ortega’s previous presidential term found him appropriating national bank funds for his personal account. He also took ownership of large estates, worth millions, that hadd been seized by the Sandinista.

Not so very long ago a journalist was murdered for reporting critical of Ortega. Others have received death threats, including the well-known political cartoonist.

Nicaragua holds elections Sunday November 5th.
