Chicago style
a short disconnected essay trying to connect the dots.
More money was paid this election so that the liberal party could win...is there a US connection, trying to buy the election (after Gloria, possibly bribed by the Chinese in the broad band scandal, started becoming too China friendly) ?
I'd love to know.
small scandal here, as a losing candidate claims a rich FilAm paid lots of money to get her rival elected.
and the overseas donations claims are even broader if this report is to be believed.
The problem? The rival, one of the world's richest women, was a big shot in Obama's reelection campaign.
she was a big supporter of our population control RH Bill (which funds contraception but not midwives for the 30 percent of women who deliver with an untrained birth attendant).
She is a big shot in the NYCity Catholic diocese, and is on the board of the anti Catholic NCReporter. Heh.
And both countries have laws saying foreign money cannot be accepted in election campaigns.
Yes she could be a dual citizen, but to get American citizenship as an adult, you have to take an oath to give up your previous country's citizenship...and unlike some countries, it is not automatic for spouses.
and guess what? this lady giving all that money is deeply "pro choice"...
the winner belongs to the president's liberal party, who has consolidated power in the last election.
The fact that vote buying was worse this year has no relationship of course.
on the other hand, Nelly and her husband have ruled their area for decades, She was expected to win, and given that the regular folks usually support traditional families not outsiders, and her family traditionally gives small bribes and parties, she should have won...
. Background of getting the vote (direct payment vs letting your supporters be given first choice on gov't perks) more HERE.
lots of claims Nelly was the one buying votes, but if so, why did she lose in a landslide? I mean, even our lovely
and this is what you have to keep in mind:

and this is what you have to keep in mind:
Aquino carried out this consolidation of power with the support of Washington, which made repeated public declarations of its support for the ‘anti-corruption’ campaign, supplied evidence through the embassy, FBI and the State Department for the charges brought against Arroyo’s allies, and secretly instigated the charges against her allies in the military top brass.
Washington was looking to cultivate Aquino as a key proxy for US interests against China in the region. Arroyo had begun to shift Philippine political and diplomatic ties away from the United States and toward Beijing. The corruption scandals provided a tool for reorienting Philippine political ties back toward Washington and for implementing the Obama administration’s ‘pivot’ to Asia. Over the past two years, Aquino has responded to Washington’s machinations by leading a provocative drive against China in the South China Sea and at the summits of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN).
