What does American politics have to do with the seriousness of this matter? That is a fallacy of logic. The reality is that police should never have to be called to the headquarters of a major political party because the party's people are that out of control. And with crime in New Providence being what it is, what business does the FNM have even putting itself in the position to have this kind of reality exist and this kind of headline reported about them? Johnson lied to the media when he gave them the impression that some rouge strangers just happened to have wandered into the FNM's building and set up their own rambunctious happenings inside a closed meeting of that party. The story was so ridiculous until it was insulting. How much lower does the FNM wish to descend in the eyes of the Bahamian people?
Well let's remember, even Charles was preparing to leave the post due to Minnis' evil ways and his blocking him from being the Chairman he was elected to be. So, while I agree with you about what Charles brought to the table, it would have remained to have been seen how much the FNM could have benefited from his gifts had he lived.
You should know since your party matches the description you just gave. At least be honest about that if you are even remotely capable of that level and caliber of honesty.
Oh please Tal. Do you really want to go there about election thugs? i cannot say you should be ashamed to say what you said because you are speaking behind an alias, so whence would cometh thou shame. I'm not suggesting that the FNM is totally innocent, but for you to sit here and say that the FNM is known best for election violence is absolutely lying lunacy. And by the way, this incident had nothing to do with political miscreants being set up to cause mischief. This matter stemmed from internal foolishness. If ever the FNM wants to tell the truth about that I imagine they might, since the story told by Johnson was by and large a lie and half-truths.
Did you notice the insultingly dishonest story their candidate Howard Johnson gave to the Guardian on that matter? If I was the PLP I would be over the moon with how hard the FNM is working to make sure my party wins the next general election and captures a new mandate.
> I think I am a part of a proud tradition with the men and women who make up the FNM
That's all they do, boast about a legacy none of them are representing today. Who cares about what existed 40-plus years ago if we cannot see any evidence of that in operation for the Bahamian people today? Even some of their founders are now the ring leaders in this debauchery, so what fairy tale is the FNM trying to lull us to sleep by?
Voters always have the power - they can refuse to vote for you. You cannot get to Parliament without their vote. That was the example cited with the Jimmy Knowles/Larry Cartwright matter I referenced earlier.
> Comrade Publius do not be so easily fooled by the notion that Long Islanders were consulted prior to Papa Hubert’s yanking the member out of the Montagu Constituency and parachuted Loretta into what he believed was a sure seat to save his regime from defeat.
Tal, do not be so easily fooled as to think that I don't know exactly what took place in 2012.

What angers me about the FNM now is they are actually making the issue debatable about who we should be more ashamed of at the moment.
