INGRAHAM SABOTAGES THE FNM’S ELECTION
There is no doubt that when the FNM loses this election campaign Hubert Ingraham should take the main blame for the loss. The Red Dragon from Abaco came roaring back to the stage but at the invitation of the hapless Dr. Hubert Minnis who because he was gaining no traction on the national stage sought to bring in the big gun whose era he had pronounced was over. What a duncey move. Mr. Ingraham brought nothing new but the same old gotcha politics.
Of all the stupid things he said that night, the great error was threating to fire everyone from the hill top to the valley (see video below). By that we assume he meant that Dame Marguerite Pindling would be in the hit list as Governor General as soon as the FNM took over. They would move her. Mr. Ingraham is not in power yet and his old habits are coming back: fire this one, fire that one.
Mr. Ingraham is behaving like an ass. How do you open your crude mouth to attack the Governor General of the country when she cannot answer you? This is a petty, spiteful, begrudgeful man, who simply cannot accept that his era is in fact over and he needs to go sit down and sit small. His performance was embarrassing,
It was nasty and it was the politics of a bygone era. We thought that Dr. Minnis didn’t know what he was doing, now it is confirmed that he doesn’t. Why would you put someone on the stage who outshines you? Mr. Ingraham is the penultimate speaker at their rallies. So when he is finished speaking, the next man up is the Leader of the Party Dr. Minnis. Only there is no one to listen to him because Mr. Ingraham sucks up all the oxygen and people pack up and leave. Dr. Minnis is left talking to himself.
The other matter which is of concern from Mr. Ingraham’s stupid rant at the FNM’s meeting on Tuesday 2nd May was his assertion that 860,000 dollars was missing from the Treasury, followed up by the assertion that the Treasury is broke. The Ministry of Finance immediately denied the missing 860,000 dollar’s report.
As for the Treasury being broke, ask Mr. Ingraham if he got paid his fabulous 100,000 dollar pension last week? If it’s broke how come he got paid?
We leave you with this. Mr. Ingraham’s claim that the can get any information that he wants out of the government. He said with his bad grammar and pronunciation that there is nothing that he cannot get out of the government. We believe him because the PLP refused to remove his spies and agents out of the service. So not surprising, but when you did one grave dig another. The flip side of that is that when you see what happened on Wednesday with the chaos at the advanced poll, pin Ingraham’s name on it. He ordered his people to clog the doors. He ordered his people to sabotage the election. We know his agents and they were all visible and on scene, creating the mayhem.
Its Ingraham’s fault in so many ways. What an ass!

I agree with all that was said because it seems to be in order and correct
I find the articles on this site disproportionately negative. You are out of touch, as evidenced by the election results last week. The Bahamian people do not care who you like or dislike in the FNM. We want good governance, accountability and representatives who are within reach. Even if you can’t solve all our problems, most can understand if we feel that you care and can see that you are making an effort. This is where the PLP missed it. In touch with a chosen few, and enriching themselves off our tax dollars. Someone gave the story of an old lady going to the food store picking up her grocery items. At checkout she has to put back two cans of tuna that she can no longer afford, because she has to pay VAT on top of her grocery bill. The same VAT money that is not accounted for while the treasury is reportedly broke. Multiply the old lady’s two cans of tuna scenario by a couple hundred thousand and there you have the reason why the Bahamian people had no confidence in the PLP government.
You may feel that you know what is good for the Bahamian people. But you have to convince them with results.
