Loretta, I am sorry, but you do not have the intelligence, the enlightenment nor the education and background to lead a party or lead a country. The first act of patriotism, is to rationally determine where you can add value, and you are not adding value to a unified opposition that needs to destroy the cancer of the current government. To quote the Bible, you have been weighed in the scale and found wanting (no euphemism intended on your weight). Please, if you are truly a Bahamian patriot, sit down, shut up, and get behind your party and your leader.

Very well said

Agreed

Talkin fool is werry serious ting.....Proving to be fool and not realizing it, is suicide, pure and simple !

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

Sounds like the party don't want Loretta involved!

Most Bahamians know full well that every Butler in this country with a smidgeon of Milo Butler blood coursing through their veins is a die hard PLP at heart. LBT would better serve her political ambitions by continuing her talks with Christie, Bradley Roberts, Minky Isaacs and others in the PLP apparatus. Rollins and the other young Turks currently sitting on the PLP side of the House of Assembly would all better serve themselves by going down the independent road in the next general election.......to do otherwise, invites being labelled forever in politics as an opportunistic two timing traitor....like Christie and Ingraham!

Like any of this is important or significant.
A distraction that we eat up as fast as they can create it!
Government by crisis is no way to run a country anywhere
but into the ground.
Tribalism is rule by personality.
We have no shortage of Mini Me personalities.

Comrade don't we get it? PLP deflects media attention away from dealing with Renward's LOI. Loretta and Minnis both former cabinet ministers in Hubert's regime - deflecting their distance from their red regime's shared \responsibility $10 million drugs gone unaccounted for over at PMH. Both PM's have made it clear, if one their parties can't win the government let the other one take over for few years.

What utter nonsense Mrs. Loretta Butler-Turner. General elections have been called with less lead time. Shut up and exercise some dignity and diplomacy.

She finished herself off with the following statement: Speaking to The Tribune, Mrs Butler-Turner said that because the convention has been moved up, she is unsure if she will run for the party’s top post.

Please JESUS.....Make her STFU now.

I am disappointed that Mrs. Butler-Turner has decided to air party differences publicly. This does not inspire confidence in her party. Differences like this should be kept within the party.

BOOOM, BOOOM, BOOOOOMM.....Dr. Minnis pulled a stealth drone bombshell move on the big mouth "want to be" first woman Prime Minister!

So Bahamians are useless drug and alcohol dependent people? You condone importing foreigners over Bahamians for jobs? Your good parents made sure you got the best education in the nation?

Vell, vell, vell, take a long look in the mirror!

Hubert Minnis is perfectly entitled to call an early convention. Isn't it overdue in any case? It is time for LBT to either put up or shut up. Frankly, I think she has lost a lot of supporters these last few months with her constant undermining of the Party leader. This is a smart move by Minnis and a sensible one.

You are way too hard on BLT....She only misspoke every time she opened her mouth.

A master move by Dr. Minnis. What we are missing is the fact that he has also given little time for Hubert Ingraham to sneak into the leadership race. As for Butler-Turner, it is obvious that she is still politically naive. She has hurt her chances of leadership because she hasn't learned to keep party matters inside the party.

She is no longer sure she will run for leader? We should all rejoice.
TALK THE TALK BUT CAN'T WALK THE WALK!!

Maybe she can run for pizza and donuts.

She is no longer sure if she wants to run for leader because Minnis called her bluff.

Minnis called her bluff of fluff?

LBT is just too much full of herself. If I was voting she sure as hell would not get mine. I hope my people in Long Island tell her to carry her fat ass back where she came from.

You are out of order. LBT is a fine MP and politician. Many insecure men (like you) cannot deal with a strong articulate modern woman like LBT.

Strong articulate modern woman my ass!.....BLT is an overweight, angry martian unable to acclimatise to earths gravity!

My, My what an angry bunch. I am taken aback at all of the comments regarding LBT's weight, which I think has nothing to do with her ability or lack of ability to lead. On top of this, some of the commenters here are mostly the ones that usually make positive contributions to this forum. Ah well, we can't blame our youth when we see them being disrespectful to others-We lead, they follow.

Yadda, yadda, yadda, wonder why such a diverse cross section of people find BLT beyond reprehensible?

Hmmmm, maybe because she is!

Oh Lord! Both major political parties are devouring or knifing their own from within and the rest of us seem to be egging them on, instead of focusing on the fact that this country is in deep trouble on sooooooo many different levels!!!

All the fun and jokes aside. . .Minnis gone fer the neck!!! But don't rejoice too soon about his "trump" of LBT. . .it shows a level of "slime" in him too! But. . .she get swing. . .no big thing!

“At this point, I do not know what I am going to do. I have not made a decision either way. My thinking was that I would take about two to three months to canvass and hear what the concerns of the people were and I would then make a decision based on that,” she said.

BLT can avoid wasting 2 to 3 months and can hear the concerns of people and the result of any "canvass" right here!

Me think she done done!! She don't have the support of the people like she tot!! Whoever wins this big race, the next fella ger pick peas them outta you know what! If she wins. . .yea. . .no big deal! But iffin Minnis wins. . .HE WILL BE THE NEXT PM. . .he will show he gat what it takes to "out fox" PGC and his bunch of crooks!!
