Mr Silla, I am sorry you can't be constructively engaged on the important issues of government and leadership. Most list members including myself have significant intolerance for the kind of exchange you are angling for precisely because it does not have any element of a good debate. Your approach seem to be steadfastly anchored in vitriol. You may wish to turn what I thought was a fairly good effort into a race to the bottom through specious name calling and conjecture. I will just have to wish you good luck since I want no part of it. It is ok to have different choices Mr Silla. I wouldn't think any less of you for supporting Yahya Jammeh. My only contention would be that you are wrong . You asked me and I offered you my choice and the reasons I thought the people I support would make the best leaders. With such a foundation, I believed the crux of our exchange would revolve around what you and I believed each of our respective sides has to offer. I felt we could talk about the economy, education, healthcare , civil, political and human rights or anyother public policy issue . Afterall these are real issues most people care about. Unfortunately it is not to be. Good luck in the name-calling business. Good people are often not deterred in their quest to the right thing. The UDP leadership would continue to work for their stated goal of restoring our nation and it's people to a constitutional democracy and focusing on the important task of nation building. This is the last you will hear from me. Atleast on that point we agree.
