Rowe says Manning - one of the superb candidates running...What's your take?

I just finished listening to Fabian Manning on back-talk with Bill Rowe.

I got the distinct feeling that Fabs wanted to stay as far away from ABC and Harper's lies as possible. Now how does somebody like Manning avoid the obvious?

He essentially called the people of rural communities - fools. Outside of brushing aside the elephant romping around the campaign office - Fabian decided that he will be concentrating on community needs and projects.

Specifically:
a) wharves
b) breakwaters
c) highways
d) stadiums

Old-time Joey politics - he went as far as to say Ottawa doesn't believe Canada stops in Nova Scotia like "we thought" - Ottawa - says Manning - believes it ends in Quebec.

So Manning concludes - there is no sense going to Ottawa to change attitudes - so he will go up and get what he can for his district.

If you listened carefully - you would hear - that Fabian was talking about ALL Ottawa politicos - including his own Harper. This you see would separate him from the treachery of standing with Harper when that liar removed a 10 billion dollar promise from our table.

Here's the deal Mr. Manning - you were gutless and worse you were a traitor when you stood shoulder to shoulder with Harper while he robbed the future from your children and mine by not allowing us to fully benefit from our non-renewable resource developments.

Do you have any idea how many wharves, bridges, roads, stadiums, schools, and hospitals one could build with 10 billion dollars?

Then there are the other lies! Remember the promise to take custodial control of the Grand Banks and Flemish Cap?

Our fishery decimated by the federal government - when your own people have had to move away to work.

The loss of over 1/2 billion dollars a year from the ground-stocks.

And you Fabian Manning are going to talk about wharves?

You go to Ottawa to represent this province - and our place in Canada. The only thing Harper has said is that his government would give a loan guarantee or a financial equivalent to this province for the Lower Churchill - a promise/lie that all leaders have made. Guess what Fabian? The reason they all gave for giving the guarantee is so that Atlantic Canada can benefit from green reliable energy.

Let's put that in perspective - if Ottawa gives money to Quebec for one thing or another or to Nova Scotia for one thing or another - they do not find it necessary to say - we are doing this so it will benefit Newfoundland and Labrador.

Today on Bill Rowe - you confirmed for me - you are a broken political man. You have given up on changing our place in Canada - and you are starting to feel the disgust your people feel at your gutless and treacherous actions.

Hold off - people of the Avalon - we can get more than extensions to community EI projects - and we need people who will fix the wrongs that have been perpetrated on us.

I told you myself -I have never felt so betrayed as when you stood in the House of Commons and did the unthinkable and unforgiveable. You sold out your Newfoundland and Labrador.

I say to my children - over and over - Let Me Fish Off Cape St. Mary's. Our Pride - Our People - Our Place

Tell me Fabian - was it worth it? That one moment where Stephen Harper paid attention to you - and let you stand next to him in the almighty House of Commons. Was it really worth it?

Fabian ends by saying "the good Lord willing" I will be successful.

Fabian in Bewillderdale Land - down the rabbit hole - the Sequel

Fabian Manning was quoted in a VOCM news story as saying the 2008 election was a strange one, and that he feels the tides have reversed. Manning like Alice before him has apparently fallen down a rabbit hole and is now surrounded by anthropomorphic creatures (the PC MHA`s).

Fabs is terming the 2008 election as a strange one. Strange?

Newfoundland and Labrador and particularly the voters of the Avalon district need to help Fabian find his way back out of the rabbit hole and return him home to the Senate.

What Manning terms as strange - is to most of us very clear and usual. Fabian Manning participated in, supported, and applauded the move by his leader Stephen Harper to; lie to our province and her people and as a result remove 10 billion dollars right from the hands of our children and their children. This is not strange Fabian it is betrayal, cowardice, self-serving, and most of all unacceptable.

When you were down the rabbit hole the first time the anthropomorphic figures (the PC Caucus) were bashing you, campaigning against you and belittling you for sitting next to Harper as he took a hammer to our province and enjoyed the punishment he was delivering.

Somehow - having been thrown out of the rabbit hole back to reality - you landed in the Senate and at least had the ability to bribe us with our own money instead of continuing to take. Now like a buffalo off our cliffs you have fallen right back down the hole - only this time the same anthropomorphic creatures (the PC Caucus) are greeting you with open arms, campaigning for you, and singing your praises.

The provincial Tories have now joined your ranks and have become betrayers, benedicts, and puppets of Harper. They have placed their arms around you and said welcome back to the hole and it is really hard for us to know who the Mad Hatter is. Is it Danny - unpredictable, nervous twitch of the shoulder, perhaps suffering from mercury poisoning forming from the flooding of land for hydro? That is what happened to the Hatters right? Or perhaps it is Harper at the tea party with Sarah Palin as the Queen.

The tides are turned says Fabian. What tides - what is he talking about? A turn in the yellow brick road? Fabian and his new found anthropomorphic creatures (the PC Caucus) - should all be returned to reality by throwing their sorry arses out of office to find their way beyond that yellow brick road.

What Fabian is hoping for is that we all believe in Fairy Tales and that we all live in the rabbit hole.

If Danny Williams ever had one ounce of passion for Newfoundland and Labrador - then he will come out and expose this hypocrisy and turn in these betrayers of our province - including the Cabinet Ministers he mentored.
