Even funnier is the Tribune's pathetic "news-gathering" by phoning has-beens from 20 years ago for a comment, and then making like its news! Amateur wannabee hacks. Get some real news reporters.
Pindling was not peddling hope. He ultimately was peddling nose candy to Americans. We would have all been better off if Lynden Pindling stayed in Jamaica where he was born.
I have already stated that none of the candidates of any party can do a complete job. As a business oriented solution, I would vote for Minnis, Symonette if he ran, and most of the FNM. I would kick Edison Key out of the caucus. I would kick out all of the whiners and failed FNMs. I would make it a meritocracy. I would run a slate of candidates with a median age of 38 years old. And I would vote for every untainted newcomer on the ballot. DNA has no solutions, nor does Greg Moss. I would be prejudiced against voting for anyone who is currently a practising lawyer. I would vote for Adrian Gibson, and tech luminaries in our midst like Y**** B****. To cover off the tourism aspect, I would vote for the guy who owns Exuma Adventures (his name escapes me now but he was president of the Association of Tourism Operators). In other words, I would make it a meritocracy, and not a federation of uneasy egos and professional gravy-sucking politician pigs.
The bottom line is that no one is saying anything that can save the Bahamas now. All of this stuff is just distraction.
If Minnis was a policy wonk, he would have elucidated the policies that he is planning to implement. I think that he thinks that a steady hand on the tiller is what is needed. It's not really, but it is the best answer now among the choices.
Perry Christie is hellbent on a legacy that will economically destroy the Bahamas. He knows that everyone considers him a lily-liver, indecisive weakling, so he is going to paint the VAT and NHI turds gold and call them jewels in his crown.
LBT is a spoiled brat and doesn't know that her strings are being pulled by HAI fomenters. The FNM sheeple are too blind to see that, and really are not astute enough to recognise subleties in what is required to put the Bahamas on the right track.
The task of saving the Bahamas requires rectitude, honesty, forebearance and an altruistic drive and ambition to finally root out corruption and evil for once and for all. That means righting history by holding another Commission of Inquiry. It means jailing all of the PLP kleptocrats from whatever era that they were in, and returning all of their ill-gotten gains back to the treasury. It means facing our national identity truthfully and finally setting ourselves free -- freedom from the lies of our history.
It means economic diversification. It means cutting the civil service by over half, and embracing the technology era. It means revamping the social structure. It means child support laws. It means rectifying the inequalities for women. It means ripping up the educational system and starting anew with STEM (Science Tech Engineering Math) training for ALL students. It means getting rid of the Bahamian dialect so that all Bahamians have a chance at using the Queen's English to get ahead in the global village. It means dollarizing the economy so that Bahamian entrepreneurs have access to startup and business capital from abroad. It means having a viable path to citizenship for the stateless among us. It means having an illegal immigration policy supplanted by one that works (it is not an unsolvable problem -- an enlightened approach will work - and Fweddie is at the bottom of the spectrum of enlightenment).
The Augean Stables have to be cleaned and it is a Herculean task. Most of the heavy lifting can be done by economic means -- drastic economic means -- as drastic as VAT or NHI were but with intelligence, not like the ill-thought-out merde of the PLP -- but with positive results for ALL Bahamians. Yet no one in politics currently can see the forest for the trees.
Hey that's a great idea from Mr Watchorn. Let's send the FBI home, and hold a big Power of Positive Think session with the thousands of ex-Bahama Mar workers, the families of victims of crimes, the poor & destitute, and we will think our way to prosperity. Gotta love it! Nothing wrong that not talking about bad things can't cure. Whats-a-matter with you folks. Stop grumbling. I hear that AML is giving away free food to the poor and unemployed if you have proof of positive thinking.
I had to laugh at a BISX investment fund. BISX's history shows that a stock price barely moves under adverse news, like the principal being investigated by the SEC and FBI, or the company delivers a poor quarter. It is the most moribund market in existence, and I question the speed of liquidity in any major holding.
>Maybe Loretta and Richard will likewise be crystal clear about Loretta’s leadership intentions and stop with the masquerading?
Naw - dems sneaky cowards.
Somebody above asked that I have it in for LBT. The answer is yes. And you will find out why in the quote above by Tal of all people!!!!!!
You lose a convention and you either get behind the leader or slobber off somewhere. You don't do the backhand sh*t that LBT has been doing since she lost. It goes to character. And that, ladies and gentleman, is why LBT is not fit to be leader, or not fit to be an MP. This country has had enough of that crap. She hasn't got the intestinal fortitude to confront Minnis directly, honestly and publicly.
Minnis een that bad a leader. He is no politician, but we don't need politicians. We need people with sound fiscal business sense, economic sense, common sense and a work ethic. We don't need more politicians.
So Loretta, put down the fork, take off the carcass around your neck, buckle down, and either be a patriot or don't let the door hit yer azz on the way out. Right is right, and you een doing things right.
Having LBT as leader of the FNM is no better than having Crisco-Butt of leader of the PLP or government.
I was right when I said a couple of years ago, that someone with the right ideas of how to save and progress the country, could never get elected here - not even as dog catcher. The electorate is too dumb or ethically challenged. This situation proves it.
FNMs are supposed to be better than the PLP, and LBT een showing it.
