					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2013/03/muscat-sometimes-he-has-to-tell-the-truth/#comment-856440&quot;&gt;Lord Lucan&lt;/a&gt;.

Hardly perverted when one considers the promises made to Air Malta and dockyard employees and the hunting lobby.

Whilst I understand that the PN is by far the better choice and that a  politician must take the high-ground and answer as he did I choose not believe him in this particular instance.. I shall still do what is right  and vote for him though.

More worrying is Dr. Muscat&#039;s unguarded reply, basically admitting to the neccessity of lying. It is The Prince chapter 18 gone seriously wrong. One such comment in Brussels and we&#039;re done for.

Reminds me of his mentor Dr. Sant&#039;s now famous the end justifies the means comment, &quot;I will forge a deal with the devil if it helps me attain my goals.&quot;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So Dr Muscat has admitted that we cannot trust him because he does sometimes lie.

May he please explain when and for which reasons does he lie.  On what grounds does he decide that it is necessary to lie?  

Does he use his discretion in the same way that he did when deciding whether to report drug-dealing to the police ?  

Did he feel compelled to lie when making the various promises he has made during the electoral campaign?  If so, let&#039;s hope that at least he didn&#039;t lie when he said that the PL would report any perpetrators of violence to the police.

I think this is the most important statement that Dr Muscat has ever made.  

It has laid bare his (lack of) principles and  could help many undecided voters to make up their minds.   
 
Unfortunately it hasn&#039;t been picked up by the other news media or by the PN yet and it may get lost.  

The Malta Independent online carried a brief report about it but it is no longer among the top news items; The Times and Maltatoday didn&#039;t report it at all but that&#039;s not a surprise given their pro-Labour agenda.

May you please stick this valuable piece of information at the top of your website.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I did not watch that particular episode of Bondi+, but for an aspiring prime minister to publicly state his belief that the truth must be told SOMETIMES would be political suicide in any right-thinking society. 

However, here Muscat can get away with this. Unthinking  hordes would find nothing wrong with his answer. 

But how can presumably intelligent voters still think of switching after hearing such a statement.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[How can anyone vote for Joseph Muscat? By his own admission, he is a liar. He has no sense of values. 

Probably all the promises he has made during the campaign are lies. L-aqwa li jirbah il-voti. 

Open your eyes people before it is too late.]]></description>
