Joseph is reading not speaking.

Joseph’s straight out of Porky’s.

You mean five years.

Gonzi couldn’t keep up with the proposals whereas Joseph had to fill time.

Holding up the volume which no one got to read isn’t exactly being straight with an electorate.

Talk about sleazy bible bashers with a used car dealership.

Even offers a no-money back guarantee, if it breaks down, he’ll resign.

The answer’s the interconnector, no power station, no oil or gas and so no commissions.

I’ve just read Vassallo’s take on tonight’s debate. Good grief!

Has the man depleted all reserves of decency?

He claimed that Muscat’s question of whether people are discussing the (very real) issues Dr Gonzi mentioned, in their respective kitchen, is a “calculated and effective response” to what Gonzi said beforehand.

Vassallo also exclaimed that Gonzi is in a state of denial for still believing that the electorate might somehow vote wisely. I call that integrity. Adjectives including “inopportune” and “intrude”, peppered the author’s reporting of the PM’s words. One might add that Vassallo was uncritical in his reporting of whatever Muscat said.

After closing Malta Today’s page, I felt deflated, betrayed almost, by this breed of my own people for failing to give weight to substance and honesty rather than to a cosmetic, populist version of politics.”

He’s going in steps.

When he said two days ago that he wanted to have campaigned and will then govern in poetry, or words to that effect, what he was really saying was:

In the campaign he has put forward his dream encompassing the dreams of any and everyone who entered the “we’re in” movement. He’s amassing the bulk crowd following, by legal means.

Now, substitute dream for possibilities.

Simultaneously, substitute movement for possibilities too, so that possibility is what you get on both sides of the equation.

There is now a state of flux: we would be going from one unknown to another.

The reason Joseph hasn’t got any concrete proposals, the reason that the evidence for this – his poor excuse of a “manifest” – doesn’t exist in concrete form; the reason why his party has no real true fixed name, is because his only true intention for the current phase of the sham is to get past the finish line first.

Once he is in, then his “moviment” will again move towards possibility: that of establishing the 2nd Republic, where I suspect he will get to stay longer than the 5 year term we now know – that is of course, IF he slinks in. But if he does, we will experience “movement” from “possibility” to “possibility.”

Joseph has a damning roadmap, from Mintoff. It is a roadmap with a route of bluff, deceit and sham.

He’s not shown his cards at all, and his people follow him blindly, because with the dinosaurs in evidence behind him, they trust him to take them where Mintoff did. Only he will do it by using tactics and violence that are psychological rather than physical, in the main. The leniency of the people will be the major strength of his plan.

This professional conman-would-be-leader is using expert techniques from a wacko mentor other than Sant and Vella.

Only Joseph is putting them to negative use on a mass synchronised scale.

His team have been laying booby-traps and snares for years, in preparation. The media is but one field that he has almost levelled.(We rest assured that upon a Labour victory all the staff at PBS will be fired on Monday 11th March).

He has already levelled other potentially instigating sources of contradiction.

No, it is not too late.

No, Muscat is not going to be PM.

No, Labour is not going to screw our lives again.

It is up to us to each take two doubters this evening to Floriana.

Let’s go for it. We have to do our part. See you at the Granaries.

I think they all do, judging by their various columnists’ efforts at taking a phrase or expression “at random” and twisting it out of context in their spewings.

Lots of wisdom in this expression as applied to Michael. It often does run in consecutive generations. This is layer upon layer upon layer of envy as a motivator.
