22,000 Bahamian households sitting in darkness without power during the hottest summer on record, can't buy food pay mortgages or rent, Haitians taking business's and jobs from Bahamians left right and center and this government's main concern is a referendum securing gay marriage rights?

Thank you PLP & FNM!

hey “cis” – STFU !! you public posturing" piece of "sheeeeeetttttt"

***DredFred PLP distraction tactics***, deal with the **EMERGENCY issues**: **VAT, BEC, illegal immigration, crime**.

What a mess. <img src="http://s04.flagcounter.com/mini/kfoW/bg…" style="display:none">

What Mitchell, Christie, Butler and McWeeney are not telling the Bahamian public is that they are under incredible pressure from Atlantis, Baha Mar and all the other significant hotel players in our country today, as well as the U.S. airline carriers flying into the Bahamas, to amend our Constitution through the upcoming referendum in such a way that future discrimination against gays will not be possible notwithstanding the Christian beliefs of the vast majority of indigenous Bahamians who are (and will forever be) God faring individuals opposed to the lifestyle of the likes of Mitchell and his "friends". There is a whole helluva lot of "gay" money at stake for the hotel convention centers in Nassau, the hotels in the family islands and the U.S. airlines that fly to the Bahamas; accordingly, the PLP are hell bent on carefully wording whatever changes are necessary to our Constitution so that gays may flock to the Bahamas in massive numbers to line the pocket books of the hoteliers, the airlines and our corrupt politicians who know no bounds when it comes to their willingness to stoop to evil endeavours. Christian Bahamians who have read the Bible (Leviticus Chapter 20 Verse 13) know full well that they will forever be barred from finding salvation if they support the changes to our Constitution now being proposed by the PLP which are in substance no different than those that were previously proposed by the FNM in a similar referendum that led to the ouster of the FNM at the polls by an overwhelming landslide. More and more we see that the party leadership of the PLP and the FNM are really no different from each other. This corrupt alternating two party system is really why Christie and Ingraham remain the best of friends much to the detriment of our society and financial well being of our country. VOTE NO TO ALL OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES TO OUR CONSTITUTION AND DO NOT VOTE FOR ANY CANDIDATES PUT FORWARD BY THE PLP, FNM OR DNA IN THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION. VOTE FOR THE RIGHT INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE WHO CARRIES NO KNOWN POLITICAL BAGGAGE OR PROPENSITY TO ENGAGE IN CORRUPT POLITICAL ACTIVITIES. DO THE RIGHT THING IN AN EFFORT TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY FOR THE SAKE OF OURSELVES AND OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR CHILDREN!!

this is ridiculous. gay tourists roll into the Bahamas every day and walk Bay Street. I don't see the socially anti- gay Bahamian Christians down there protesting them. voting for equal rights for women has zero to do with gay rights and if it did- the sky isn't going to fall. The way religion is being used and interpreted to hide the misogyny in this society is appalling. God must truly be angry. The hypocrisy in this country galls me.

And your sexuality galls God!

Get a grip ,that 2000 year old book also says if a women is not a virgin on her wedding night her family should stone her to death ,dam we would run out of rocks .i f the so called "Christians " here lived any sort of moral life i would respect them ,but most i know have sweet hearts ,out side children ,the rev is either a womanizer ,gay or bi ,,, they all think God is a numbers handicapper ,,Religion here is a show and trying to pay god for blessing and has very little to do w/ morals .85 % of sex here is transactional ,,what you ga gimme ..we are not blessed b/c of our morals or lack there of but b/c of our proximity to a large tourist market ,,we are not even the original inhabitents of these islands .If it was not for the slave trade we would be in that piss hole africa cutting off one another feet and hands in tribal warfare and mutilating womens genitals

Agreed!

Both parties have demonstrated that they are both motivated by a "self-suited" agenda!

Can someone please tell me what rights don't women in the Bahamas have. The right to do what ? Put a man in jail if he doesn't pay child support or get kicks out of a lie to police about an assault . Heavy industrial companies have placed men and women side to side in this day and age. A lot of women have surpassed men on many jobsites . What right are they pushing for? They are truly trying to put one pass us . Let us not be fooled Bahamas!

Comrades you 'bloggers' are treating Minister Freedy likes it was his PLP government and not the Hubert regime which bypassed much more pressing bills to hastily have rushed through a 'specially drafted amendment' to a bring to the floor of the House of Assembly and passed by a majority of House members, to make it all legal for boogery to take place aboard ships in Bahamaland's waters. First, before attacking Freddy, why not do your own research and come back and re blog, which red shirts cabinet minister moved the amendment on floor of the House?

It is the Bahamian women who gonna defeat the referendum. They actually have more power when their foreign spouse does not have automatic rights to citizenship. They have a foreign husband under their control. You is hear them say all the time "da minit he do sh!t, i ger call immigration fer he a$$!"

It's funny how we are a christian nation and god fearing when it's convenient. What about all these people having sex and making babies out of wedlock? Adultrey? Alcohol? Gambling? Protecting criminal family members? All sins are equal so if you accept one you might as well be ready to accept them all. Not just the ones you do.

i,m straight ,but this nonsense has nothing to do w/ sin ,its little insecure men in an extremely mysocanistic society that believe the crap there mummy,s told them about being Kings while mummy don,t bat an eye at the girls till they give them a grandbaby at 15

Real Horse S***!
