    I think it's more that ecuadorians are those poor stupid uneducated folk who think a corrupt fascist-commie is going to make their lives better.

    Forgive them, they know not what they do.

    @Pirate

    “RIGGED!”

    How are opinions polls rigged, dumb fuck?

    “...another corrupt banana republic”...

    And your country is what? Your country is but a colony of the US. It puts the interests of other countries above its own -- this, one of the main definitions of a banana republic. Even someone with as lowly morals as an Afghan warlord has had to marvel recently: “How the British public accept their children being sent to certain death in order to please American generals?” http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/prince-harry-kills-innocent-afghans-while-he-is-drunk-says-mujahideen-leader-8435314.html

    Is anyone really surprised? You have a country that is on their 20th....freaking 20th constitution, is a major transit point for cocaine, 29% of population in abject poverty, a national budget with listed educational expeditures as N/A. Not to mention the repression of freedom of speech......so who really cares about this and Ecuador.
    Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador and Venezula...........the new south america.
