12801:: FW: 12783: Election is the only way to change Government in a democratic country (fwd)

At best, Senou sounds naive to believe that the elections that brought the
current government and its legislature in power were honest, without massive
fraud from top to bottom. The points in Senou statements are well taken.
Elections, however, are not the use of police or military forces to carry,
throw away, eliminate, count the votes, or corrupt the election commission.
Of course, I seem to agree with the lecture on elections but that was NOT
the case in Haitian Parliamentary Elections of May 2000. That was simply
fraud from top to bottom, orchestrated. It has always been election frauds
all over the place and in any country. Oftentimes, those
frauds/irregularities are negligible enough not to call attention. In our
case in Haiti, that was open, obvious, blatant, and arrogant.

In Florida, there was no fraud, as educated and informed people are
concerned. For people, followers of propagandists, of course, they will
continue to say that there were frauds even if they are shown black on white
a to z there were no fraud.
Of course, the president was elected for 5 years with his party to lead
Haiti. I agree with 'Senou' that his mandate should continue to enable
people to assess success or failure of his and his party alone. I don't
think, if the opposition respects itself or is intelligent enough, to accept
any involment in the current government. That would be exactly like "yon
bato ki ap koule, epi, moun ki deja atè ap vole pou yo al monte bato sa
a....
