“Christie vows to save the country from Minnis – voters should be frightened at thought of FNM leader as PM” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article;”With the election season intensifying, Prime Minister Perry Christie is pushing his message – an apparent core theme of his campaign – that Free National Movement (FNM) Leader Dr. Hubert Minnis is unfit to lead the country, telling reporters yesterday, he is trying to work ’10 times as hard to ensure Minnis does not get into office.

Christie suggested Bahamians should be frightened by the prospect of a Minnis-led government.

‘….If you as a Bahamian have to look to [the] leadership of Dr. Minnis you ought to be frightened of the potential for him to be elected now, because he has not demonstrated any degree of capacity to govern really, in effect, and it is for me to say that, and to say it as someone obviously who is a protagonist and someone whose job he’s trying to take..whoever wins will be prime minister for the country.

‘And I am trying to see how I must work 10 times as hard as I ordinarily would work just to prevent him from being there, because I shouldn’t do that to the country.

Now Prime Minister, Perry Christie is willing to work 10 times as hard because he sees the possibility of the Free National Movement (FNM) winning under the leadership of Dr. Hubert Minnis; so now we have the message of the potential ‘doom and gloom’.  If only the prime minister had worked 10 times as hard when he was elected on May 7^th 2010, when he claimed to have met the country is a desperate state and over the past five years, then maybe our credit rating would not have been downgraded four times, the crime rate would have been under control and Baha Mar would be open, then we would not be having this conversation right now; as he would actually have had a record to stand on – he did not and does not.

The very first question for many as they read this article this morning was if Prime Minister Christie is going to save us from Dr. Minnis, then who will save us from him?  At this point the Rt. Hon. Perry Christie shows signs of suffering from what is called ‘hero syndrome’, this is a phenomenon affecting people who seek heroism or recognition, usually by creating a desperate situation which they can resolve, such as fires.  The only problem here is that the desperate situations that the Prime Minister and his government has created have not been intentional but rather through sheer ineptitude, incompetence and laziness and they are unable to resolve them.

Prime Minister Perry Christie has been from pillar to post speaking the same political rhetoric and spewing the very same nonsensical propaganda and it is extremely shameful to see that he is unable to finds anything substance to use to convince the country that he and his government is the most viable option in the upcoming elections.

He and his government have made their most confident and bold move and have already seen it counter-acted and defeated.  They played the ‘card’ of ‘If Minnis cannot govern [rule] his party how can he be expected to govern a country, a ‘card’ that the PLP’lite’ aka the Democratic National Alliance (DNA) had picked up on and as these two ran the streets preaching this message; in the main time Dr. Minnis has put together an impressive TEAM of candidates to from the next government, while his detractors within the party have all faded into the background, probably having tea with the Prime Minister ‘spilling the beans’, it is laughable.

No, Mr. Prime Minister, there is no one that you can save us from beside yourself and your government that has none next to nothing to empower the people of the country and improve their quality of life. So save us from yourself and retire in the best interest of the country.

The Progressive Liberal Party fails for one reason, it is their nature.
