Next time think before you speak...still like Mr. Miller though

He's had a lot of girlfriends...lots of stories could be told. I've said before, he is no hero

Still shaking my head at the fact he donated $1,000 but asked other parliamentarians to donate $3,000...and at a time when company and corporations are downsizing...he's doing the exact thing they've always done...find someone a job at one of the government utilities/vote bribing centres. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that people are getting help, but quit using the government entities to provide every 'needy person' you need a vote from a job. Why didn't you get her a job at say Mario's Bowling, where you will foot the bill for the deadweight extra labour...since you were the J.A. who put your foot in your mouth.

This has been a public relations disaster for Miller and the PLP. The whole episode has shown him (and the party) up in a very bad light and highlights the fact that he is totally unsuitable to be a member of parliament.

Let's be clear, Miller's delayed contriteness is purely down to internal pressure from the party, I doubt very much it represents a change of heart. His comment that he was not aware of the extent of the (domestic abuse) problem is laughable.

In three years time, Bahamians are going to have to look at themselves in the mirror and ask the following questions before casting their vote:

Who are we as a people ?
and
Who can effectively represent us in the house of Parliament?

@ Honestman, This should have been a public relations disaster for the Miller/PLP but I highly doubt this is something that will be remembered. Yes there was outcry from some concerned parties (I myself was absolutely disgusted and disturbed), but so many of us think this IS a laughable matter- so it shouldn't damage their credibility that much.

Sad but true. Who are we as a people? Excellent question. The fact that not a one person corrected him or called him out in the house speaks to exactly the kinds of people we are. The fact that those individuals laughed along with him shows how seriously we take domestic violence. All that incident has done is confirm in the minds of young men, women and children that this sort of behavior is OK and accepted.

Now Mr. Miller needs to donate $ 1,000.00 to The Bahamas Humane Society for insulting our Potcakes by comparing himself to them!

Sadly, the majority of Bahamian men have the same mentality as Leslie Miller and the majority of Bahamian women still tolerate bad treatment from no-good Bahamian men in one form or another........... verbal/physical abuse, sweethearting, child non-support, financial non-support, addictions, moral deficits, personal irresponsibility etc.

A minority of Bahamian men are considered up-standing and responsible.............. maybe 20%.

Thats the consequences of slavery and the Big Mama syndrome ............... ask Freddie

Thats our money working for him

First of all he should not only be ashamed of his comments in the house but of the "jest" of an apology that he made......it is sickening to be perfectly honest and I am appalled!! Second how can a member of parliament for the PLP...you know?? that party that's governing our country, not know the severity of the domestic abuse problem since the statistics state that 45% of murders in the Bahamas over the last 20 years can be attributed to domestic violence and the Bahamas has the highest per capita rates of rape in the world, but yet he "did not realize the severity of the domestic violence problem"?? And then he has the audacity to showcase the fact that he has or is helping women who are victims of domestic violence in his already lacking apology....are you kidding me??? He needs to suffer the consequences of his appalling actions, "jest" or not, so our Bahamian people young, old, and soon to come will know that violence is not ok.
