Some people are die-hard PNM-mites. Nothing, and I mean nothing, can deviate them from seeing only the PNM as a viable government; not even the most asinine comments and/or actions of the political party in question.
Take Lynette Joseph. I have no idea who this woman is, but I have read many of the letters she submits to the newspapers. She is a prolific writer of letters, maybe even more so than Imbert-cile. I even read other blogs that she 'contributes' comments and articles on; some very disturbing in racial diatribe.

But as the PNM propaganda machine, she excels. Look at the latest contribution:
With the clock ticking to the general election, the UNC Alliance is finding time to place a full-page colour advertisement about the Prime Minister's residence. Who really cares about the building? All that misinformation on the Internet about palatial furnishings and the place is not even finished as yet? There is an obscene amount of time-wasting being exhibited by some very rich and idle supporters.Fact is Lynette, I care. So do many thousands others, because money is spent lavishly on an insignificant item when so many other areas need those funds even more. As you yourself said in the very next line of your letter:
There are still topics like crime statistics and road carnage to talk about...The police, health system, education, local government, utilities, prison service, sports, to name a few could do massive amount of good/progressive work with $148M. Giving Brian Manning a $9M for a basketball league (where is it by the way?) is not in any way comparable, even as a demonstration of largesse.
Exposing idiotic spending (which can border on corruption) is in no way time wasting. If anything, the obscene time wasting is done by persons like you, who take the time to write letters in defence of a Government that exhibits scant regard for the general population.
And what is this talk about CEPEP and URP and their little 15 per cent money? That hardly translates into the two acres of prime farmland that the ex-Caroni workers have received.By the way, 2 acres of land for 15,000 Caroni workers (and I'd bet my last dollar the actual figure is less than 50% in receipt) still works out to be considerably less than a 15% wage hike for CEPEP, URP etc. Especially since the intention of the 'gift' of land is for the workers to farm and so regenerate economical viability and self sustenance. Whereas there is no regeneration in URP/CEPEP, more like a parasitic one-off wage receipt for a minimum of work.
