Partai Demokrat: Go To Hell

Jump to Comments

Wow, just when I thought I should support Partai Demokrat to support president SBY’s not-too-shabby performance, they come out with the most asinine comment. Courtesy from Hakim Sorimuda Pohan of Partai Demokrat:

As if confirming it was all for the elections, Hakim Sorimuda Pohan of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s Democratic Party asked people not to vote for the PDI-P and the PDS because of their opposition to the [pornography] bill.

“People must be aware now who they should vote for. They must not vote for the PDI-P and the PDS, which support pornography,” he said.

First of all, what a freaking transparent ploy you pulled there. It’s like this guy is pulling a page straight out of Karl Rove’s book on how to use Orwellian language. How about the PDI-P and the PDS supporting women’s equality, which is a far more accurate description? Congratulations, Partai Demokrat. Are we now trying to emulate Somalia, where they stoned a 13 years old rape-victim for adultery? Man, what a glorious day for rapists and perverts in Indonesia!

Yes, thank you Mr. Hakim Sorimuda Pohan. I am now aware who I should vote for. And that’s definitely not Partai Demokrat, not until they recant their position and apologize for this guy’s comments. And I don’t think I can support PDIP’s do-nothing Megawati either. PDS? PDS is the home of Jeffrey Johanes Massie, a member who wrote a hit-job article/”analysis” in Kompas saying how Obama is a Marxist and a baby-killer. Sources? Fox News, New York Post, and National Review. Wow, is there a Republican plot to infiltrate Indonesian politics?

As it stands, I can support none of the political parties in Indonesia.

  • are u saying you are going to be ‘golput’ voter? if that guy said so, i believe that it didn’t represent the party’s point if view.it was just some emotional personal statement. …so please don’t leave ‘partai demokrat’…partai anak muda haha

  • Golput? If there’s no good choice, I might. I would probably still pick SBY as president as it stands.

    Look, he may be just one rogue young person shooting his mouth off. But thanks to this comment, I know that the party supported the “pornography bill.” The question is now “why.” Judging from Mr. Hakim’s comment, you can see a glimpse of the reason - it’s just a ploy for votes.

    The only parties to not support the moronic bill are PDIP and PDS. PDIP supports a Sarah Palin as president and the other gets its world view from Fox News. I don’t have any choice now! Let me know if there is another one.
