And then there are those who want to vote no to Bill 4, but in their own lives they surely are not voting no to the lifestyle people have attached to Bill 4. I say no more.
re-post: Let the FNM candidates tell you what they are getting when they go door to door in this country. Let them tell you what just about every home whose door they knock on is saying. Many of the candidates are heavily depressed because they can see what is coming down the pike for the FNM. They know the election will spell disaster at the rate their party is going. And many of them; candidates, council members, senior FNMs both active and retired, are to blame for helping to prop up a man the overwhelming majority of voters and would-be constituents are saying needs to go and who has brought the party into such disrepute. The FNM is notorious for ignoring the voices of the voters in furtherance of their own make-believe ideas about what the voters want or need. The PLP on the other hand hears the voices - and then proceeds to buy off the voices so as to change their opinion. Either way, these parties are not putting the nation and its needs above all else. The FNM should never have allowed things to get to this point.
> Most of them are in their 50's to 70's. You are hard pressed to find many under 40 and they would be lucky if they have more than 5 members of Council under 30.
Yes. Actually, he has **paid** for a number of persons under the age of 40 to be there. Not as many as the age groups you rightly cited ofcourse. All the same at the end of the day as you said, destroying the FNM and the country's chances with the FNM, as it were.
> And all this white money BS- ALL the parties are the same. All drive to Lyford Cay and Old Fort and the Eastern Road for "green" money and all behave like 5 dollar pros for it.
I'm hardly religious but to this I must shout a rousing "Amen"! They want successful parties but they do not want to dig into their pockets to make and keep them viable. They have no problem with the "white man's" money when it is time to have it doled out in their direction. After that, the white man returns to devil status when black Bahamians of means and wealth treat and regard other black Bahamians like garbage and do everything in their power to ensure that they are blocked from being able to amass the same levels of wealth or even anything close to it.
I had to laugh at his minions saying they would throw the MPs out of the Party, clearly not understanding that then the FNM would no longer be the Constitutional Opposition. But since it is clear that none of them even know nor care to know their country's Constitution, it is also clear why they are so stupid on that point.
For the "poor man"? Name one group of "poor men" Minnis has advanced in his almost 10 years in frontline politics. Name one social group in this country who has moved up a ladder due to his direct intervention? I'm not talking about the council members he has bribed with taxpayer dollars via under-the-table contracts etc from Brave and Shane. I am talking about average, everyday Bahamians. Name one piece of proposed legislation he has brought forward in Opposition to address issues directly related to the impoverished, the working poor and the struggling middle class. Name one position taken by him over the past 4-plus years that has done anything to tangibly impact the lives of anyone other than himself and his cronies. He is the MP for Killarney. He did not even support Bahamians who marched against the ongoing and deadly dump fires, and that was in his own constituency. You are for the poor but cannot stand up for them and everyone else being able to breathe? It is the most trite and played out of tactics using the poor to advance one's political objectives. And those "poor" people he is seeking to exploit for votes are not going to vote for him anyway, so he might as well drop the act and just stick to heralding who he is really for - himself.
And the most ironic thing? *Minnis is one of the "haves"* that his minions are complaining about. Minnis is not struggling like most of them are. They are clinging onto him because they have nothing else and can do nothing else. And he knows this. Yes, he is for the "poor" alright, the **mentally** poor who without them, he would go where he needs to go - home.
