					<description><![CDATA[Sounds a bit like the Republican attack on Barack Obama during last year&#039;s campaign - &#039;What&#039;s his track record&#039; repeated ad nauseum.

Please note that I&#039;m not trying to compare Dr Muscat to Obama, just pointing out that this blog post is somewhat petty and redundant.

As every financial advertisement is eager to point out, past performance is no guarantee of future results. The value of your investment may go down as well as up. And the PN&#039;s stock has plummeted.]]></description>

Oh right..and GonziPn doesnt use the same emoticon buttons? remember GONZIPN posters showing young innocent sweet children sniffing sunflowers? An image reflecting the total parenthesis of what really goes on in politics. good grief, if you haven&#039;t figured yet that ALL politicians use children and religion to pull your strings. I suggest you don&#039;t apply for any jobs requiring bell-ringing expertise.]]></description>

C&#039;mon David and Twanny. This is the season of gift giving. The little shit got two a couple of years ago without even trying. Gawd, you guys are up tight. Did you go to midnight mass?

Baxxter. Any room under that bridge? I think the above two gentlemen are about to de-nut me.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2009/12/don-quixote-heads-for-that-windmill/#comment-36178&quot;&gt;Joseph Micallef&lt;/a&gt;.

It is true what you say but please do not excuse this government. We are really in a bad way. I never seen such arrogance!

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - You must have lived a very sheltered life, then, or been born post 1987.]&lt;/strong&gt;

I remember two ministers and a parliamentary secretary saying &#039;&#039;We are becoming a nation of second-hand cars&#039;&#039;....this after making buying a new car in Malta the highest price in Europe and probably in the world.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - The highest car prices are in Singapore. High car prices haven&#039;t stopped us filling the island with cars, to the extent that it is now very difficult to drive around and even more difficult to park. Imagine how much worse it would be if cars were cheaper. That is precisely the point of high car prices. Unfortunately, the system was undermined by the importation of cheap second-hand cars from Britain.]
&lt;/strong&gt;

What about the bare-faced lie when Minister Tonio Borg promised us new car-buyers before the 2008 election that we will get the duty paid on VAT back!

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Are you sure? I think that was a promise made by Joseph Muscat after the general election, and that it is now the subject of a law suit.]&lt;/strong&gt;

What about all the other promises? What about that everything one hears from this government is found  to be spin when one touches and sees. All the fuss about St George&#039;s Square in Valletta...give them cake....all that money spent on propaganda when we need it so much.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - I don&#039;t agree with you about everything being spin. We all lead a much better life now than we did a few years ago, even those who lack the ability to compare their lives now with their lives then. St George&#039;s Square - yes, I agree with you. I would have just finished the job and left it at that. To make such a great fuss about the revamping of a city square is a bit Third World.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
