But, perhaps too often, those words don't come out the same way they sound in the candidates' head. And that can be a problem. Randy O'Hare Politics and Society Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:26:45 -0500 I hate to see some Spanish speakers so critical of those who are honestly trying. As for "papaya"? If you Cubanos think a papaya looks, tastes, or smells like a vajayjay? You got more problems than I thought. Haha. Jamie Bozicnik Politics and Society Thu, 27 Sep 2012 03:39:25 -0500 Me gusta el idea que los politicos tratan a hablar en espanol pero creo que ellos pueden tratar con intencion. Ellos no son tontos (ojala) por eso quieren estar el presidente. Si tengo un monton de errores en mi espanol cuando me hablo, pero ellos solo dicen algunas palabras entonces creo que ellos pueden tratar un poco mas. PRI: Public Radio International
