    @ Just us? Justice?

    You must really be ignorant to ask “Why the hate for the governor”?

    Your question can easily be answered by looking at the photo at the top of this page. There you will find a young man in handcuff symbolizing what the governor has done to his generation, “handcuff them to a life of financial bondage to repay a loan that the governor did not properly think through. In that very picture you will also find a young child being carried on the shoulders of his father. That young child generation will also pay for the sins of this governor.

    I close by saying to Just Us, where is the Justice?

    The bottom line is we are frustrated with the current governor’s schemes and stealing funds from the V.I. people to enhance for his personal gain. When you think about it $490K is a lot of money to upgrade your home. If the governor refuses to pay the money back what happens next? How can the VI people get rewarded when the crime has taken place and the crook is free? Can we request for the governor’s home to be put up for sale or increase the said property taxes with interest? He is selfish!!! It‘s all about the king and the queen. In regards, to Mr. Carroll it appears that you thought wisely about the state of the conditions of the territories and we appreciate you voicing and expressing your thoughts on CIF.

    Your hatred for the governor does not influence deJongh’s supporters. We will grant him four more years, not you! What will you do after the victory? Marching and hating can not change your situation. Miserable today and tomorrow. Please accept our condolences for your pain.Can we send flowers to cheer you through your moments of despair? Another four years of whining,bawling, blaming,insulting, acusing, etc. must be torturous!

    I feel yo pain Just us? Justice?

    If it comforts you to come onto CIF and dive into a world of make believe and say that your Commander and Thief will get four more years go right ahead.

    We pity you because we know its a very painful transition to go through. The transition to “NO MORE YEARS”!

    I feel joy and comfort knowing the governor will serve four more years.I pity those who are hoping for his defeat.I have no fear or doubts that John P. deJongh will serves another four years as governor. Your angry words and desperation are meaningless to me.The pain is being expressed by those who hate. I love John and I will support him. You can not stop the inevitable. deGREAT rules!

    Verdel, it must be nice to be on Prozac and completely delusional, huh? Be careful not to overdose on election night.

    @ The ‘Anonymous One’ who eschews ‘comfort and joy’;are you,by your twisted sense of reasoning,assuming there are more corrupted voters (who will vote for more of the same) than there are disenfranchised who will vote to kick deWolf and his cronies out of office?

    Is that what you’d like to have others believe?

  11. Soldier Crab on May 23, 2010 at 1:32 pm

    ….should have said ‘espouses’ not ‘eschews’.

    @’Soldier Crab’ at 1:29 and 1:32pm,

    Typical use and misuse of words that try hard to impress. Remember how you described Tito Morales in an earlier post? “An overbearing,verbose wannabe who’d do or say most anything to be considered as someone possessing some modicum of intellect…a social climber and the ultimate boor.” This description remains more apt for YOU!

    Incidentally, as you know, your previous response to me was so vulgar that it had to be removed by the Website Administrator. Shall I brace myself for an equally hilarious verbal assault?

    Say what you want, crab. You can’t crawl into Mafoliegate.You can’t stop the electorate from granting deJongh four more years. All you can do is spew your hate on this site. Anyone can do this same thing. The voters can read the VI Daily News and the Source for accurate information.This is power! Democracy rules.

    “Anyone can do this same thing. The voters can read the VI Daily News and the Source for accurate information. This is power! Democracy rules!” You mean the Tainted Source ops… I meant the Source online News Papers that’s owned by Jonh De Jongh himself ? I see… Power and misinformation hu!

    The crab is funny.He is no scholar like Oculus or John deJongh. The Daily News or the Source would never print his stories. This is the only place that would publish such crabby nonsense. I love the jokes. Laughter is good for the soul.

    de Jongh a scholar? now that is hilarious!!! you’re right, laughter is good for the soul!!!
