Vexed Bermoothes

Well, the PLP’s years of mismanagement are finally becoming clear.  You see it’s easy to look successful in a booming economy.  But after years of coasting downhill, it’s clear that even after 12 years in power the PLP are still wobbling on training wheels.

The economy is slumping.  The “Road to Ruin” budget promises to empty the house.  Even the most dedicated supporters are starting to ask angry questions as their wallets are simultaneously squeezed by the economy and picked by the Government.

And clearly the PLP is rattled.

How do I know?

Because they are slipping into their race-baiting style of “us vs them” and “they are out to get us” again.

Witness this from the PLP attack blog:

Bob’s Secret Assault on Our Jobs (kind of sounds like the “Dunkley wants to lock us up” line from the last election”

or this:

Dill to FutureCare Critics: Stop Making Stuff Up to Scare People (ok DJ, and stop making up stuff to mislead people, ok?)

or this:

Controversy over race relations advisor’s alleged comments about blacks who do not support the PLP (same ole shit)

The crowing glory is of course provided by Dr. Frown, who claimed yesterday in Parliament that the reason the PLP has to spend so much money is because the UBP left the island in “such a state” back in 1998!  Hmmm.

You see, they have little else to say.  Good at politics.  Horrible at policy.
