EL TORO responds to GHETTO YUTE

Good day Ghetto Yute,

I trust that you had a good night sorry for such a late response as i had a hang-over.

First of all i will not continue with you tit for tat just to point out the following:

You speak about the PNC/RIG being a party with a new leader who will win the next elections.

How will that be possible Ghetto Yute?

What you and the others who have party cards at Congress Place are doing is setting people up and feed their emotions only for a big let down come the polling results on elections night indicating that the PPP/C has won an even greater share of the votes than the previous elections and more of your traditional supporters have continued their move across to the ruling party.

First of all you talk about democracy within the PNC - if there is so much democracy why are presidential candidates crying foul and talking about an unlevel playing field from the inception of the campaign.

This was just an orchestrated soap opera with a predestined conclusion to give the impression that the Wolf is now vegetarian when in fact is has come back dressed as a sheep to attack the unsuspecting victims.

Why were so many delegates not allowed to vote? Why were there persons who engaged in strong armed tactics against groups who were openly supporting other candidates apart from Granger and some were even evicted from Congress Place?

If you cannot effectively arrange one small conference how are you going to manage an entire country?

Yute you talk about commitment to the party by its new crop of leaders.

This is outright bullshit pardon my sober french:

Here is what one of your presidential candidate Faith HARDing had to say when asked by Demerara Waves about her immediate future in supporting the party at the upcoming elections

- "Harding, nevertheless, said that she would lend her support to the candidate who would have won but she said being a PNCR candidate for the general election depended on what she would be doing at the time of the election".

WTF!!! - depended on what she was doing at the time of election??!!!

Would this have been her answer had she won the nomination?

That is commitment to the PNC for you.

What this does is that it clearly shows exactly the commitment these people have, they just tried a thing and if they did not win they fly back overseas or revert to what they were doing before they emerged from their cocoon.

This is exactly why the PNC will continue to lose elections in Guyana and no one cares and/or are prepared to get involved in the long haul to see their party someday emerge victorious.

They are content on bickering over small issues and pull down each other at first chance.

The PNC lasted so long because of Burnham, only a dictator could have commanded such order in such an organization and when Hoyte died all hell broke loose.

Your party does not have coherent policies or has failed to come up with at least one alternative plan to convince the electorate that it is capable of doing a better job than the PPP.

You do not win elections on HOPE and PROMISES any more Yute.

You will have to prove that you are capable and dedicated day in day out - across the country and none of your leaders have shown that kind of dedication.

Why is Granger even worse a leader than Corbin?

He projects himself as an aristocrat and intellectual who clearly has been detached from grassroots supporters.

He is the equivalent of House Speaker Ralph Ramkarran of the PPP.

You just do not go to the electorate when you need something from them - you have to build their trust over time and that is what people like Donald Ramotar and Robert Persaud and co have been doing over the many years.

So when you see the PPP being so successful, eg. as was indicated in their recent mash band with so many people both young and old from all the races mashing behind their banner - that was achieved through hard work and dedication.

When your leaders are having a drink at the GPSU hall or up Linden or enjoying a game of tennis at Pegasus or at the mansion of Christopher Ram, the PPP leaders are out all across Guyana in the hot sun or rain, in the riverain communities not just talking but doing whatever they can to solve problems and listen to advice to further improve the plans they implement.

So you can run around strutting like a fowl cock all day and pretend you have already arrived, that will not matter to voters.

They only want to see the cup.

Case in Point - The symbol of the PNC is the palm tree and at their Congress Place headquarters all one can see is a few dying coconut trees - not one (original) palm tree as is depicted on its party flag.

That shows you exactly how serious they are in running the country.

If you clearly have no interest in the place you dwell day in and day out from, what kind of interest you will show in governing the nation.

I rest my case.

No hard feelings my brother, please join me at Jack Palance for a 1/2 this afternoon.
