		<description>I suggest you stop drinking the Kool-Aid from the PPP and think for yourself for a moment.  I don&#039;t know where you got the &quot;team up with Corbin&quot; thing from.  As a non Kool-Aid drinker, as far as I am concerned, as part of the parlimentary opposition, It is entirely logical that the concerns of the AFC will in many cases coincide with the concerns of the other opposition parties.

But let&#039;s talk about who does *really* team up with whom.

Which two parties &quot;team up&quot; to support each other for chairmanships of the regional democratic councils before the ink was even dry on the flawed election results?

(a) PPP and PNC
(b) PNC and PPP

Which two parties &quot;team up&quot; to pass the undemocratic recall legislation to remove MP elected by the people??

(a) PNC and PPP
(b) PPP and PNC


Which two parties &quot;team up&quot; to split up scrutineering money between the two of them?

(a) PPP and PNC
(b) PNC and PPP


Lets face it.  Almost invariably, when the interests of those parties coincide, it is to pass a measure that is morally reprehensible like the recall bill, which they both feel will give them some advantage but which neither wants to put to the nation on its own.
 
Folks, the truth is simple.  The PPP needs the PNC to survive.  It needs the Bogeyman alive so that it can scare the base back into the CUP every election time.  That is why the PPP lambasts the AFC, because the AFC threatens the viability of the PPP&#039;s trump card and by extension that of the PPP itself.  Think about it folks.  If the PNC were eliminated as a political force what would the PPP have left as a rallying point?  Our stellar economic growth?  Our firm grip on Crime?  Our state of the art public health system?  The lean clean and mean mean Government? Our unparalled respect in Caricom? 

No folks, the PPP&#039;s whole campaign strategy is to rally the base around &quot;if a na we, a dem&quot;.

The AFC gwine knock dem off one by one!</description>

		<description>Greg the PPP has the answers right in front of them. Look at how india and mexico are leveraging their nationals outside of the country to develop their homeland.

but the PPP do not want non resident Guyanese to come back to Guyana because those who return will not tolerate their inept behaviour.</description>

		<description>Caricom is, and has been useless to Guyana. As Guyana was systematically looted and destroyed,racism rampant,CARICOM did nothing,and was in fact a collaborator with the PNC.Standing idly by.On the whole, their dismal record tells they are wholly inept and cannot be trusted. Guyana with it&#039;s natural resources can do far better.Show me your company and I will show you who you are. Guyana, today in this slacker company,a nobody, after associating with nobodies.For 30 years.The place is run by dunces.Abandon this bungling insignificant non entity.</description>

		<description>Coolieman you can hew and cry all you want the people who support the AFC and who know what the AFC is all about are very well aware of where their funding goes and what it pays for.

So keep insulting all of us who contribute to the AFC and labelling us as peppersauce cocaine dealers that is exactly the kind of message the ppp perpetuates that have driven many like me away from the PPP and to a dignified group of leaders like those within the AFC.

Thanks for labelling us all as criminals coolieman, we feel that kind of treatment from your ppp anyway so it is appropriate that you should come on here and label AFC supporters are cocaine dealers. Keep up the great work and keep repeating the trash that Jagdeo spews, that will continue to help us garner mre supporters.</description>

		<description>How could Trotman preach &quot;change&quot; when he is willing to team up with Corbin?that&#039;s so ironic and so far he is not even giving us a hint on how he will go about bringing the changes,anyone can say what the ailment is but anyone cannot administer the cure.Like i said Trotman is jumping the gun here and i just hope for the future of Guyana that he does not run off the track before election time in 2011 because he is already making contradictory statements.</description>

		<description>coolieman, my above remarks to freespeach refers to you also. Foreign Guyanese are Guyana&#039;s #1 alternative resourse to development. Their know how far exceeds what the locals have to offer right now. Along with the cursed drug trade they are keeping Guyana&#039;s economy afloat right now. And this is just related to the mittance they send to relatives.  

If the political situation in Guyana can change to accomodate investment, there is a lot more money available. You guys cannot realy have Guyana&#039;s best interest at heart, otherwise you would be begging the PPP to go or change their ideology, pronto. Merely suggesting another PPP tern in the circumstances, is scriligous.</description>

		<description>This is the right approach the AFC is taking, many people including the PPP are trying this new approach where they have now defaulted to saying they are the care taker government and there are no alternatives.

Well the good news is there are always alternatives whether it is to the PPP and or the PHENC. We always have choices good and bad and we have to make them. 

The PPP was given their shot they have failed miserably, their collosal failure was not something many including myself ever imagined was possible.

Now it is time for us to show the PPP that they cannot continue to take the electorate for granted the way the PHENC abused us for so many years. The time for change is here and it is approaching faster than the PPP can even imagine. Many of their die hard supporters who still refuse to accept their failures like freespeech and cooolieman, soldier and all their various apologists will all come out hollering the virtues of the PPP. Mind you to date I am yet to read anything anyone from the soup licking camp has presented as a major success of the PPP rule these past 17 years.

The magic show is over, the circus tent will be wrapped up and ushered out of town with all the clowns and circus fare.</description>
