Once again the PLP are revealing their true spots: Allow foreign investor to build up development until he/she cannot leave without huge losses and then treat him/her like s@#t. What swindlers. Great way to attract new investors -- call them names in the Press. Bahamar, just one of the country's largest employers -- eh, who cares...

My jaw is on the floor. This same Fred Mitchell that championed enforcing the laws of The Bahamas and deporting illegals is turning coat. His new legislation goes far beyond Fred Smith's wildest dreams. He is seeking to enact one of the most liberal and open door policies of any country on the globe in The Bahamas.

The constitution allows persons born in The Bahamas to apply for citizenship at the age of eighteen. In my view, this clause was inserted for the benefit of Bahamian mothers married to foreign men, because Bahamian women cannot pass on citizenship. It was not intended for persons illegally coming into the Bahamas to have a path to citizenship. Contrarily, this clause has been abused, as thousands of Haitians use it to gain permanent status.

Mr. Michell, I beg you to reconsider this awful new liberal persona you are inflicting on The Bahamian public. Have you considered the ramifications of this new Act? Is an Act that perversely treats illegal immigrants the same as persons born to Bahamian mothers just? It does not take Einstein to understand that legitimizing every illegal born here and bestowing them with status will lead to a massive increase in illegals flooding to our shores as soon as they become pregnant.

Just when you think you have the PLP figured out, they completely turn coat. The only rational I can think of is this entire rounding up of illegals and "enforcing the law" business was a complete sham used to build positive sentiment in the electorate. A Haitian Bahamas must be in the PLP's master plan. Could it be that they eagerly seek voters of a darker hue that they can control and manipulate? They sure as hell are good at chasing white bankers away and any light skinned Columbian in a skimpy dress. Unbelievable!!!!

I would like to propose a toast to MP Dr. Andre Rollins, the only new PLP of the bunch. Dr. Rollins exemplifies what we the people voted for in the PLP, newness! Out with cronies, elicit deals, bribery and secrecy, and in with freedom of information, accountability, forward thinking and change. We were promised all these things by the PM. We were promised a new PLP! But, what we got instead was the very same old, failed, ancient system of cronyism, nepotism, corruption and secrecy. Good for you Dr. Rollins, for being the representative and embodiment of what the people of this country voted for -- the new PLP! Shame on those schemers, bamboozlers, shysters and reprobates that sold a pack of lies to the Bahamian people -- that sold us promises of newness and freshness while serving us stale-roach, burnt muffins of failure.

I am speechless. All I have left to say about this man is: scoundrel, scoundrel, scoundrel! Or, in the words of my departed uncle, "Out, damned spot! Out, I say!"

This PM has passed his expiration date. He is spoiled goods.

Let's get this clear right now. Stop attacking marijuana growers! Marijuana is a legal drug in the US, and it's about time The Bahamas got on board before the ship sails. Spend your efforts attacking real criminals, not botanists. We want our weed! Leave it alone. We also want our strip clubs, leave them alone too.

It's a great idea guys, and I'm all for Bahamian businesses, but do you really need to wrestle another 50 million out of our poor, struggling government. Talk about beating a horse when it's down. Should the tax payers pay you 50 million to slap some liquid over cement? The Bahamas Government would likely be much better served by buying the product directly from the US distributors and doing the job themselves -- cut out the greedy middleman. Come on guys, give the Bahamian tax payers a break. I would be all for the project, if it used private sector funding.

It always amazes me when I see a banker's smirking face next to the news that the Bahamas Government is borrowing more money. The private sector really needs to become more aware that they are aiding and abetting a corrupt government in bankrupting Bahamians. There's absolutely nothing positive about the government borrowing more money. Tribune, please take note. Stop painting bankers that assist with issuing government securities as worthwhile businessmen -- they aren't. They are cruel and callous perpetrators of the Bahamas' doom.

And here's 100 million for you. Is that all you need? If not, just ask for more. Don't worry, we'll give you the money, but we wont question you at all -- we wont check to see what went wrong, we wont ask anyone to resign. Your entire bank went bankrupt but not to worry. How dare anyone ask for an audit! To think they could be so cruel, when it's just 100 million of the taxpayer's money. How dare they be suspicious of us not investigating what went wrong. They must be doing this with an ulterior motive. And also, I do not come across like a completely corrupt fool. No, I come across as an entirely rational person capable of running a country.... into the ground!!!!!

It's never too late for justice to prevail my friend. Further, this is a US court documented case of Bahamian corruption, unlike the others. The Bahamas must act on this matter to clear its name internationally.

Instead of playing the victim here, let's take action. The US, unlike the Bahamas, has a Freedom of Information Act. All it will take is one of our news agency reporters making a request through a US attorney or other party for the name of the corrupt Bahamian official 8 in the Alstom Power court matter, and it will be released. It's simple, just do it -- make the request under the US FOI Act and name and shame the wrong doer in front of the Bahamian public. http://foia.state.gov/Request/FOIA.aspx…

(I cannot certify that the above will work, but it is certainly worth our consideration)
