I hope Christie wins. It will be the final nail in the PLP coffin.

Could well be......

the plp will win either way, unless opposition forces stop doing shit

The PLP will lose the 2017 election .......... don't mind this 2000 delegate party ....... Bahamians are broke, hurting and mad as hell ........ 24-15 in favour of the FNM

You're right!

Last night Christie try to work Voodoo to 'fix' the unemployment numbers and #jobceation, But Michael Halkitis said the unemployment number was at 21,000 when the PLP came to power. Christie says the PLP created 32,000 jobs. The Department of Statistics says unemployment is still at 11.5% or 24,000 persons unemployed. So even when you add the 24,000 or so students that came out of school and deduct the 15,000 or so persons that retired or otherwise left the work force, the PLP created more jobs than there were unemployed people. So tell us then.why is the unemployment figure still at 24,000.
.
Then Michael Halkitis come back and tries to give account for the near $1 billon in VAT money. But most of the items he listed, like re-fleeting BahamasAir, new ships for the defence force, NHI funding etc, was suppose to come from the regular revenue of the government, like customs duties, business licence fees, property taxes car licences etc., and so he hd the whole convention chanting "das where zinnia VAT money gone" And it gone alright. Gone like the wind.
.

And the biggest clown of the evening had to be Alfred Gray. That man and the truth are so much strangers. One cannot even double pay the truth to keep friends with Gray. He claims that no other political party came up with original plans and projects to benefit the Bahamian people, while in the same breath, laying claim to two of the biggest projects that was started under the previous government. Hopefully Christie dem can tell the Bahamian people why more murders have happened under Perry Christie ad prime minister than any other prime minister, and why more murders have happened under than the PLP than was recorder under the government of all the other political parties in the Bahamas combined.

Bahamasair refleet LOAN was financed through local entity Private Trust, along with whatever other background dark arts went down... How now was it paid for by VAT? So ain no more note on them planes ay?

> The Minister says Fred Smith can take his apology and “shove it” . . . and if he wasn't on “this platform” he would tell him “where to shove it”.

So we really need to do the gay ranting tonight?

he said something about burying his root in fox hill yesterday and i held my tongue but now he done come out and say it .... i am gay and i like a short white guy.....

Did Halkitis not appreciate how pathetic he came across playing to the dim witted with his "Dat's where the VAT went" ranting? I had to switch channels as I was starting to feel nauseous.

"gone" not "went". The word 'gone' makes it even more ghetto and appealing to all the dumb PLPs.

Listening to the speeches -- everyone says that we are living in a nirvana -- a heaven on earth thanks to the PLP. I am truly amazed. There isn't an IQ that surpasses a shoe size in the entire room. Fweddy especially deserves a slap, but then it would be hard to get the crap stains out.

Comrade Banker, in all fairness despite your many disagreements with Minister Freddy, he did deliver a strikingly powerful best of all speeches at the PLP's convention. You need read the full text read slowly to digest its importance to guarantee the protection of our Bahamaland's sovereignty.
I know for a fact that as a little boy growing-up - Freddy was made to wear shoes a size larger than he normal shoe size. Makes sense when scientist say wearing a shoe size bigger, does improve the child's academic performance - and seems have worked for the minister.

My dearest Tal, you occasionally stumble over the truth, but you quickly pick yourself up and carry on as if nothing happened. If you read the speech, you will see that Comrade Root-Burial Fweddie was the supercilious, xenophobe, slick prevaricator that characterises a man without a moral compass.

For example, did you notice that he said that the STB was an enemy of the PLP? Not an enemy of the people, but the enemy of the party -- a bunch tiefin' corrupt kleptocrats.

Root-burier Fweddie is quite intelligent. He deliberate plays on the ignorance of the lesser species of Bahamians, and crows about it. He once said that (average) Bahamians are like children and don't deserve the truth because they can't handle or understand it (it was in his weekly website where he lies and says that he is not the author). So what does he do? He knows that Bahamians hate foreigners (as outlined by Frederick Smith), so he announces that he will increase the size of the foreigner Gestapo. Ignorant Bahamians (generally PLPs) cheer! Yay Fweddie the Root Burier!

And as for being a sovereignty guardian, that's a crock. It is also a ploy. Hitler used the sovereignty arguments as did Mussolini and virtually every other despot. The biggest threat against sovereignty came from Crisco Butt and the PLP when they sold us to the Chinese. A Canadian condo owner is not a threat to our sovereignty nor are hordes of illegal Haitians. It is the PLP all the way. If there were not so many work permits granted to Haitians by Bahamians, they would not be inclined to send for their relatives and find work.

A few weeks ago, I came home from work and the Haitian gardener was out. I give him my cast-off clothing, cooking utensils that I never use and tings like that. I asked him how things were going. He said that he was sad because his brother was just captured (as an illegal). I asked him how long his brother was here, and he said a year and a half. I asked him who employed him, and he mumbled something about doing landscaping (Bahamian that I know). I asked if the employer knew that he was illegal and he replied that it was never asked. Cash every Friday, and then off to the money transfer place to send money home. A Bahamian waits outside the money transfer office, who has central bank approval to send money, and he sends the money to Haiti on behalf of the guy, taking a small cut. Enabled to operate by Bahamians every step of the way. But threat to sovereignty -- naw. It's a failure on our part. Fweddie knows this.

If Sears wins for PLP leader, The PLP will win the next election.

And Perry Christie will be consigned to Sandilands!

He aught to be consigned to prison
