[Scotsman will be Free]

And the opposition is incompetent and corrupt. You get the govt you deserve. Just like we deserve the great zero and scum majorities in this country because of the stupidity and corruption of the electorate, never mind the politicians.

Ah, that was my point. There was a multitude of political deals between parties that resulted in change that allow Ortega to take control with so little support of the electorate. A change in the judiciary here. A constitutional tweak there. A few winks and nods to members of an opposition party thrown in for good measure, and you have....what's been going on in our country as well as Nicaragua. Nicaragua, as well as Iran, are our future unless we can win our fight to save our republic.
