The 18th will be very interesting because if Jamahl gets voted in, it means integrity is fairly unimportant to PLP voters.

Personally I wouldn’t vote for anyone who crossed party lines in either direction. And did I mention the tweets?

I know Jamahl and he’s a pleasant guy – don’t know the Marshall lady. Just glad I don’t live in #33 so I don’t have to choose.

LOL and by the way people in the PLP know who I am ask them.

So kindly let us know what is the difference between them and Jamahl besides the fact he is in the PLP?

Mr Simmons said: “I wasn’t advocating shooting people in the head or burning down businesses.”

Seems pretty clear to me.

Jamahl Simmons can keep trying to spin this, but the reality is that he said it and it raises serious questions about his judgment. This matters when he is seeking public office and the potential of being in a position of responsibility one day. Does he have the maturity to do the job? The initial tweets and the way in which he has tried to diminish them says no.

With a few strokes of the pen, they have turned this election from anybody’s game into one that is focused on bad things in Jamahl Simmons’ past.

Truth Hurts!

So, I repost here –

______________________

I am happy to hear with Toni Daniels has to say. I have interacted with Jamahl Simmons in these forums and privately, and have some respect for his positions and abilities. That Toni has pointed out Jamahl’s political history is of value. We all have our foibles and history, and it looks like Toni wants Jamahl’s history of political direction (or lack) known. It’s true – we all are young at some point – and we all form opinions over time.

However, to counter the recounting of Jamahl’s history by implying that Toni Daniels is not making valid points because of who she is flies in the face of the facts Chris Famouss.

I know you are all about facts.

How much of what Toni has said is true? And how much is conclusion drawn from her perspective on fact? It IS fair to counter any conclusion she draws with argument or denial. And, I think it’s fair to draw different conclusions from the facts she lays out.

What are the facts?

Simply attacking Toni’s credibility isn’t good politics. Fair game to attack her opinion, but not so to attack her facts – unless they aren’t facts.

Again, I restate, my comment is about fact, conclusion and opinion drawn from facts. That someone recounts facts – if they are accurate – shouldn’t be for argument. Conclusions and opinions are debatable points. Apologies Chris. You’re right. Unfair to post where you can’t respond.

Toni Daniels put her real name on the piece. Like you did on your comment, Coffee. Oh, wait, you didn’t.

Toni has provided facts, not opinions or insinuations. Like you have, Coffee. Oh, wait, you didn’t.

Toni has pointed out things that Mr. Simmons has actually said. As you have, Coffee. Oh, wait, you haven’t.

Who’s presenting facts to voters, and who’s trying to influence them with insinuation and unsupported assertions?

Who’s cowardly, Coffee?

EW

What about Gwen Rawlings, Wayne Furbert, Kim Swann, Maxwell Burgess, and many others who left the UBP. I know she may be new to politics in Bermuda, but she really needs to study the history of politics. In my view, if she was an honest person who really cared Bermudians, she would question Jet Gate, lies about the gaming referendum , termination of the work permit policy, and the fact that Thad Hollis resigned.

Ms. Daniels, you seems to take most Bermudians for fools, the people of this country has not forgotten about all of the promises that your party made to the voters, and has broken all of them. So I will say to you again learn your history, before you start to attack.

You will not, because you cannot. Not one comment so far has disputed the actual points raised here.

Nothing happened to the 2,000 job promise. You PLP supporters started jumping on that from the first day the OBA came into office. Is that really all you PLP supporters have in your armory? Remember, one major hotel development is 2,000 jobs right there. Also, think about how many jobs have been saved because of the OBA.

Have a great weekend.

It is so sad how the OBA use her and even sadder how she allows herself to be used.

The immediate issue facing #33 is who should represent them in the house, so why not remind the voters of this man’s track record. Don’t pretend that the PLP have never brought up a politicians past. It’s all they do – just look at the constant reference to teh UBP.

I’m sure the majority of people know that Georgia Marshall is the superior candidate in this race and I know for a fact that some PLP folks know that too. Toni Daniels has simply stated Jamahl’s track record and it’s not pretty. He is an opportunist and not a very good PR person for himself.

I am far from a PLP supporter in its current state but this “opinion” piece is just the thing that will get Jamahl into the House of Assembly in November. This should have been an opportunity to display the great qualities of Mrs. Marshall.

LOL just saying. oh and for those that don’t believe the PLP don’t write similar stuff as what they are accussing Ms. Daniels of above maybe you should do some research for your self on past election rallies of the PLP and their blog. Unless your ok with racist banter and mussing.

LOL

LOL (ORIGNAIL TM*) you could not even come up with your own name for cryin out load.

Well that pretty much sums up politics in Bermuda anyway. As far as I’m concerned these politians here might have started out for the country but once in the game it seems to become what can they get out of politics as opposed to what can they do to help improve the island which we call Bermuda, our home.

LOL
