If Fonseka Wins on 26th...

If by a longest of a shot SF wins on Tuesday's election, what's the message our people communicate to us?
CBK failed to end the war in her first term, she didn't do any mega development projects, she had corrupted ministers and family friends in her administration, but yet our people voted her for a second term. Mahinda finished the war in his first term, started and completed several mega development projects, and saved Sri Lanka from global economic crisis. He may have had some corrupted people in his government. But if, he is not voted for a second term for the sole reason of alleged corruption charges, the message we are giving is "Don't waste your time on solving problems, or doing mega development projects. Just earn as much as you can like CBK did, and happily go home. Because, you are not guaranteed to win elections, no matter how much good you do to the people"
After all, why you should burn your ass when people only worry about their tummy? Give/promise them something to eat today, and they will vote you tomorrow!
Hmmm... If Fonseka Wins, i will most probably delete this blog the day after! Cuz, he's going to get revenge from everyone who talked against him during last few weeks. I don't want to risk my life just for a blog! Happy voting! You may or may not see this blog on 27th. Don't gamble your vote for Simple Fun!
Cheers. VIC out!

Wrong analysis.

CBK had Ranil as the opponent. Mahinda is having Fonseka.

CBK was at war at the time of election and tigers had an attempt at her life.

CBK didn't have friends and family as Mahinda has.

CBK didn't protect thieves by kicking out the COPE report.

CBK didn't abuse state resources for the election as Mahinda is doing.

and could you pls state the 'mega projects Mahinda had started and finished'?

she was sooo unpopular otherwise

@Liberal Lanka

CBK had Ranil as the opponent. Mahinda is having Fonseka
Yep, I think Ranil would have done better than Fonseka if contested. Also remember in both 2005 and 2010
Ranil and Chandrika are against MR.

CBK didn't abuse state resources for the election as Mahinda is doing.
The North-Western election held under CBK's regime is considered as the most corrupt election in the SL history.
Anyway have you watched ITN at that time?

CBK was at war at the time of election and tigers had an attempt at her life
Oops you are saying CBK was at war that time (not Lional Balagalle who was the army commander then). So you are accepting full credit of the war victory should go to the MR and not SF at all.

CBK didn't have friends and family as Mahinda has.
That will explain the real nature of this woman.

CBK didn't protect thieves by kicking out the COPE report
What about Waters Edge case, have you read the book "Chaura Rajina" book by Victor Ivan.

CBK didn't protect thieves by kicking out the COPE report
The CBK's government was challenged with "Thawakkal" no faith motion regarding the corruption(well there are two no faith motions against CBK's governmet I guess) and where as for MR zero no faith motions.
I can't remember of any COPE report when she was the president.
However she did protect herself. Well the most famous Mervin is a her own product. Remember Mervin only got around 3000 preferential votes in the GE and it's this woman who you are trying to white-wash is responsible for making a ass-clown a MP.

And could you pls state the 'mega projects Mahinda had started and finished' ?
If it is a mega project it would surely take more than four years to complete. So I think wee bit of brain to understand what I am saying. Also you are licking the boots of Chandrika and since she ruled(ruined) Sri Lanka for 11 years as the president continuously, Can you please come up with any good examples?
(Don't give RW's brief 2 years government as excuse for this)

//Yep, I think Ranil would have done better than Fonseka if contested

hmm can't agree here. Doesn't make any sense.

//CBK didn't abuse state resources for the election as Mahinda is doing

The reelection of CBK was the point. I talked about that 1999 presidential election.

//So you are accepting full credit of the war victory should go to the MR and not SF at all

Where have I not? The credit should go to MR. But SF was and is special.

//That will explain the real nature of this woman

So appointing all the corrupt and your relatives to higher positions is a good thing? God help our voters!

//I can't remember of any COPE report when she was the presiden

This doesn't change the fact that Mahinda saved his corrupt circles by kicking away the cope report. Did CBK do something like this?

//If it is a mega project it would surely take more than four years to complete. So I think wee bit of brain to understand what I am saying.

Again you have got the wrong end. VIC stated Mahinda has 'started and finished mega projects'. I asked him which are the projects he is reffering to. I think you need to read VIC post again.

This is not an attemp to white wash CBK. But VIC's argument was since CBK was reelected to office Mahinda should too since Mahinda finished off the war and 'started and finished some mega projects' which he is not referring to. I stated the above facts to elaborate how 1999 presidential election is different from this one. You need to read the post before you reply to the comments.

You can read this article, specially the last paragraph.

http://www.jstor.org/pss/4408841

//So you are accepting full credit of the war victory should go to the MR and not SF at all

Where have I not? The credit should go to MR. But SF was and is special.

Here special means being at the China when the war is on it's tipping point?


//That will explain the real nature of this woman
Here what I mean is the not having friends.
Giving tenders to son-in-law as the head of the tender board is not corruption?


//I can't remember of any COPE report when she was the presiden

This doesn't change the fact that Mahinda saved his corrupt circles by kicking away the cope report. Did CBK do something like this?

You skipped the facts regarding Thawakkal debate and two no faith motions against CBK. If there is such a corruption what the opposition have done against it except sleeping and chanting the "Corruption" manthra now(hardly any no faith motions against MR, and no legal actions. Remember you forgot to comment on Waters Edge case too)
Also no one to come with solid proof wit regard to MR's so-called corruption and where for SF the facts are solidly proven.


//If it is a mega project it would surely take more than four years to complete. So I think wee bit of brain to understand what I am saying.

I simply don't agree on 'finished' word of the VIC and leave him to answer this.
Here you didn't come up with any examples(deliberately) to support clean CBK's development work,



This is not an attemp to white wash CBK. But VIC's argument was since CBK was reelected to office Mahinda should too since Mahinda finished off the war and 'started and finished some mega projects' which he is not referring to. I stated the above facts to elaborate how 1999 presidential election is different from this one. You need to read the post before you reply to the comments

I guess, you got the VIC's message completely wrong also I read the blog post thoroughly before commenting.
To me his logic is simply like this.
If people were to select CBK in second term without winning the war plus proven corruption why don't they select MR for his second term with war win and without any proven corruption (chanting "Corruption" manthra won't make MR a corrupt, you need to come up with solid facts).

60 years after independence from the British and 30 years of bitter ethnic conflict-initiated and fuelled by politicians of this country(Sinhal,Tamil & Muslim)for their own political mileage-people of this country have been fortunate enough to be blessed with a truly patriotic and genuine leader in President Mahinda Rajapakse. This is the last golden opportunity for the people of this country to realize that finally they have a leader who is genuinely willing to work for them, serve them and to take this country to a place in the world on-par with the developed nations. This is the last chance for the people of this country to realize their dreams and hopes of handing over a brighter future and a better country to their younger and unborn generations. This is the last chance for the people of this country to finally prove that we are a proud nation with great values deeply rooted in us. That we are nation which understands what gratitude truly means. I truly hope and wish that when we wake up tomorrow morning the people of this country will be able to see the difference and have the wisdom to vote for Mahinda Rajapakse to complete the job he has set out to do. I truly hope.....

Mahinda defiantly going to win the election. Even if he won the election, Mahinda already lost big time. People love a victories leader in any country any time. Mahinda instead gaining genuine support, he starts to lose and he will lose further down the road. It would be nice to argue that all because of the western conspiracies with the opposition, but it is not entirely the case. Right now Mahinda possibly receive more votes from the people who don’t like General for various reasons, such as his foul solder mouth. At least I feel that way. Mahinda most probably would start more development projects in his second term, he have to. Only Chandrika have ability not to do anything in both terms. It is wrong to assume General and the gang would not do any development projects either.

My parents never in their life vote for any other party than SLFP, first time in they has changed their mind. I’m scared of that sudden change. My brother is voting for MR, because somehow he believes General eats snakes. None of this should not have happen with a MR. People suppose to love MR and shower him with Gold.

Does it make sense now?
