These people who vote for CPP have Viet brain. They are dumb shit.
I am sure that 90 percent of Cambodian people do not pay attention at all to this election.
New Phally's father
Oop! New Phally is no longer my son because of his behavior.
New Phally's god is here.
All you morons are idiots living in denial. Cambodian people vote for the people that they deem beneficial to them. Obviously, the CPP has done something right to gain a huge majority of the vote again and again in the recent time.
If you Sam Rainsy's dick riders want to go anywhere, stop living in denial and start assessing what you need to do if you want to gain more votes.
First step to getting help is admittance.
I don't care that much. who won the election. Only want to please the Khmer authorities or Khmer civil servants have responsibility and duty to all Khmer Citizen.
You are the model of our people and the young generation of all Khmers.
People were being forced to vote for CPP, vote buys and fraudulent. We will face this situation again in 2013.
New Phally's sister,
But Hok Lundy, the ruthless and murderer is gone. They can't do jack poop to us. Please don't vote for CPP.
New Phally's mother.
Please Khmer people, I beg you to forgive my son New Phally. Because he knows nothing he just says nonsense and foolish things as always.
New Phally, I beg you to not fool youself like this. Why didn't you ever listen to your mother when I talked to you. Oh, my dear Good Lord Bhudda, may you bless my son New Phally with a little intelligence! thank you Lord Bhudda, thank you very much!!!
Your mother New Phalla

You know what foolish fools, there million of eyes that are watching over you ALL. So, be careful because sooner or later, those millions eyes will be attacking and especailly chasing ALL of YOU til the 7th Hell.
From your own CPeePee Spy
It's not hard for Hun Sen and his CPP party to win (election after election) because they're in control of eveything - the media, NEC,election staff,etc.
It's better if the opposition parties don't participate and let Hun Sen and his CPP gang "F" up the country. Let the people rise up and deal with them!
Come on, ah Kun/New Phally, you are just a dandruffed dog of Hun Sen. You have no patriotic ideas to write about in your comment. Every time you express your opinions; they are the opinions of a doggy clown.
. . .oh, how smart are you? winning by threat, manipolation, or bying votes is cheap and disgusting. Honor bought is not admirable as honor given.
How could cpp claim themselves as a winner when there is no loser in this election?
