					<description><![CDATA[Oh, I see, I see, I see. So, had it not been for Franco Debono&#039;s tantrum Gonzi would not have held an election this March. Or ever, I suppose.  No wonder you poor kids are so obsessed with this &quot;irrelevant&quot; man.

But, pssst... there&#039;s a sinking ship. It&#039;s called the Eurozanic. The bad thing is we&#039;re on it. The good thing is you won&#039;t realise you&#039;re breathing water when we hit the seabed. And there&#039;ll be Cyprus there and the Greeks, and of course the Germans will be there too, showing us the way forward.

Carry on Lilliput! Clarity of mind might visit you on Muscat&#039;s watch. Or perhaps not. Either way, water is what you&#039;ll have to breathe.]]></description>

Claudia, when Mintoff voted against the Labour government, he was physically attacked right there in Parliament.

Dear Mr. Privitera, you have been spewing anti-PN bile in all the media since the 70s at least. 

According to you, the socialists were perfect, could do no wrong and have remained so. 

As somebody who endorsed the behaviour of the socialists in the 70s and 80s, I think we genuine nationalist supporters will respectfully (not!) consider your opinion about who is an embarrassment to whom to be worthless and draw our own conclusions on the subject of Lawrence Gonzi, thank you very much. 

Franco Debono and his hysterical self-delusional ranting in parliament is one such embarrassment, as is Jeffrey Pullicino, Jesmond Mugliett, John Dalli, Cyrus Engerer, Jo Said and others who you have seen fit to embrace as heroes. 

You and your party seem to have an inordinate attraction for our crappy rejects. I believe the condition is known as coprophilia and you will be glad to hear that it is treatable.]]></description>

And you believe, and want us to believe that Franco Debono was the only &quot;unwanted wart&quot; in the PN. Keep on digging your heads deeper in the sand and enjoy this tragic state of denial blaming Franco Debono and nobody else for the tragic mess that the PN has driven itself into and expect many, many more years for the PN on the oppositon benches.]]></description>

What would YOU know about genuine PN supporters, Eddy?  Madonna henn ghaliha.  We are talking about a COUPLE OF WEEKS.  

What you are really afraid of is that the longer people have to see what&#039;s on offer by the two parties, the more they are likely to spot the holes and contradictions in Labour&#039;s plans. 

If the PL keep to their word about giving us all the details on the 7th of January (bearing the gifts like the three wise men) then they would want to have the election as soon as possible before the hot air starts to dissipate. 

It&#039;s the prerogative of the Prime Minister to call the date of the election.   Dak il-pruzuntuz sidek ikollu jistenna ftit aktar.  Kieku hawn ftit sens kumun f&#039;din l-art, kien ikollu jistenna hajtu kollha.]]></description>
