Your English is dreadful.

Because he’s a lazy chicken s#!t a#s.

So if you’re attempting to say we’re in recession because the USA is in recession, that is nothing but a lie.

Go figure!!!

Your reference to outsourcing was dumb too, because everything began to get outsourced from Bermuda after International companies were given a hard time with work permits by this PLP Government.

Here’s an old proverb for you which I’m sure you’ve heard before: Better to keep your mouth shut and let others think you are stupid, than to open it and prove that you are.

Where have you been the past 14 years?

The point being is that the other choice is to vote for a “leader” who hs led Bermuda to a persistent decline in all facets of Bermudian life. That meaning increases in the social divide, a broken down economy, poor education results, poor tourism, the racking up of debt and the anti-business attitude which has contributed greatly to our overall malaise. And the above doesn’t even touch the numerous scandals and cover-ups which have occurred.

I just don’t understand how some can overlook all this and more.

You have my vote for post of the day. This is a real issue that should be dealt with, as this could help the island in a BIG WAY!

I agree, this is something that can create jobs on many levels, and the positives outweigh the negatives any given day.

Any church group or christian (who probably host of play bingo)who are against this are not living in the 21st century. Most tourist destinations have hotels with casinos, so this is the trend, and if we want to be a part of the trend, we have to move with the times.

I can’t see how this is a hot issue, as we already have many forms of gambling on the island already, and this is something that can create jobs and create more revenue for the country. This is a win win for Bermuda, so I hope the PLP and OBA are listening.

The report was a strategy document that identified a demographic group that contains a large number of voters. The census questions ask a) race and b) highest education level. From those two demographics you can group results. The fact is that a large number of the voting public falls into that group which combines ‘black and lower formal education (i.e. uneducated in your words’. It was not stating that blacks are uneducated nor was it saying that people in that particular group were inferior or ‘can be fooled’. It was merely stating that a lot of people fall into that category. Thus, if any party is going to win the election it is important to get the votes from that very large and influential portion of the population. So no, it was not stating black people are dumb or anything like that. But the PLP government wants you to believe that this is what the report said and inteded to mean. So you can believe what the PLP tell you or you can read the report as it was written. It is the PLP that is hoping you will be fooled into believing the spin rather than the truth.

On the other hand, you are saying Obama takes care of Main street, well that mean us here in Bermuda and the offshore domiciled companies that prop up our single pillar economy, so if he pulls the tax trigger is pulled don them, you may see some very desperate times on this Island . Obama is a good president but Bermuda is not in his best intentions. At the same time, yes the economy in the US is experiencing statistical growth and in Bermuda we are still in the throws of recession. You can’t PLP window dress that one is moving one way and one is moving the other. If you are saying that things in the US are not back to ‘normal’ than define normal? At present they are stable and improving. In Bermuda we are not stable and we see continued disintegration of the Private sector. You refer to quite a few new businesses starting up in Bermuda but you are talking about drops in the ocean compared to the capital and local jobs that used to be here through IB. These companies are either post boxes for tax reasons or they are small niche outfits that employ a handful of people. Again more PLP window dressing and deflection from the truth. PLP candidate Vince Ingham attacks local and international business when he was the one that should have modernized BELCO so that our Energy costs would not be so astronomical at present due to our dependence on high oil prices. How do you think decisions or lack of decisions that man has made have impacted Tourism, Business and the people of our Island? Well the have been very detrimental to the bottom line and definitely made our cost of living higher. So congrats Vince, you have directly contributed to our high cost of living in Bermuda. Those are the types of people who the PLP roll out. Greedy and self serving.

You are speaking to a person who is an undecided voter, who probably won’t vote for either party, if I vote at all.

With regard to a debate, I do not see what’s wrong with having one. I do believe Mrs. Cox should have to stand up in front of Bermuda and explain their record.

Same goes for Craig, there is nothing to fear if the OBA have their ducks in a row. Let him question the PlP’s record, and show how the OBA can be different.

Putting the parties aside, I think Bermuda deserves to have the two people who want to lead this country have the chance to state their case, and defend what they feel is the solution for Bermuda.

You OBA supporters are not helping your case by saying a debate makes no sense. Let both candidates face the music!

I am not saying obama is lying about stats, but you can’t sit there and say America is out of this recession. They are currently working their way out, but don’t paint this picture that everything is back to normal in the US.

Who and what news organization told you that the recession is over in America?

Look it up yourself. But try a different site other than PLP.bm.

Hardly a recession.

But hey don’t let facts get in the way of your deception.

I notice they haven’t mentioned Space ships recently.

What about those new hotels? No mention. I thought they’re being started before the end of the year?

But I almost forgot. It was Wayne Furbert who said that, and even the PLP don’t trust that rat.

And when you’re criticizing the USA, saying it’s being untruthful, that’s Obama you’re criticizing.

Do not the people of Bermuda deserve to hear the potential leaders of our country debate the issues, rather than being spoon-fed scripted communications?

Um… The employment act?

Can’t wait to see the next round, keep up the hard work Nahki! So proud!

Some folks just don’t understand how deep a hole the PLP has dug.

It is rather simplistic but then it needs to be. Attention spans are short & reading abilities are limited, as brought out in the education statistics.

Very few even take the time to read anyway. Much easier to listen to a radio or go to a rally & be spoon fed.

Vote wisely. Your job may be at stake. 3000 gone. Many more hanging in the balance.
