The woman is clearly crazy though.. “mama, mama, mama, mama”. I really still don’t get what all this has to do with issues the people face daily. As a nation we’re kind of silly. Wake up Jamaica listen to them revel at nonsense.. God almighty help us.
To use “fly the gate and let in the pirate” as a theme song for the party isn’t very becoming either.
Pirate is defined by wikipedia as a redirect from the term piracy
People who acknowledge themselves as pirates as our nations leaders, How sad.

turn your speakers up and Play the video above. do you hear it playing at the rally. It shouldn’t even be playing.. to me.. the nature of these rally’s should be to promote what they plan to do. Everything that i’m seeing so far is a waste of time… and not to mention money

I could not have agreed more with Rick James. From the start of the campaign, the Prime Minister has not addressed a serious issue that we the citizens face daily.
I am convinced that she herself doesn’t even know that she is the Prime Minister, and at this moment has the power to make beneficial changes in this country.
It is sad to see that in 2007, some Jamaicans can be bought for curry goat and a beer and in return politicians get their votes. It goes to show that we are living in a dunce society, a society that was created by the people running this country, who choose to not make education priority.

That woman Portia is clearly of unsound mind is she is a Lunatic or what? She is so mix-up and confuse it isn’t funny, what the hell she was saying at the People’s National Party (PNP) rally in Half-Way Tree, St. Andrew on July 8, she was so common and vulgar, that was no way to announce to the worldwide world that August 27 would be the general election day in Jamaica.
What was all that, mama, sister P, mama, mama, mama, mama, Portia Lucretia Simpson-Miller about; did she forget her own name? The entire world wanted to know was when she was going to call the election in Jamaica so the people of Jamaica can “democratically elect its Prime Minister” now we all know the date of the election in Jamaica please stop embarrassing us Jamaican each time you open that big mouth of yours.
IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE VOTE JLP OR NDM AND SAVE JAMAICA!!!

[...] PNP rally - Are you ready [...]

Portia for your own sake you should be talking about the issues with your supporters. It is really sad to see how foolish you all look. NOT EVEN ONE STATEMENT ABOUT WHAT YOU GONNA DO FOR JAMAICA.
I am ashamed to hear you speak. Your advisers have failed you and your followers.
Wake up Portia you are the cause for many of us to change our mind about you.
We need more than self praise. We need more than making the people jump up. We need to hear both sides of the story. As of now we are only hearing one side.

Portia Lucretia Simpson Miller
Is now one of the longest serving MHR in Jamaica.
Her hold on the Constituency of South West St. Andrew was secured over 30 years ago on the back of a very bloody, forced removal of JLP supporters.
Today the Constituency is the worse managed in Jamaica, bar none.
Can we trust Portia with any more years of our lives?

Excellent question Comrade Tuffgong.The answer is categorically no!
August 8th, 2007 at 5:31 pm
I couldn’t agree with all of you more. Jamaica desperately needs to be rescued. I have my kids and I certainly don’t want any of them growing up under this government. There is no vision, only talks about achievements, achievements on road work and housing etc. They take Jamaicans for a joke. I need to feel safe in my community, I need to feel comfortable taking my child to a public hospital, I need to see the government using some of the taxpayers money to good use, and not have a careless minister(Paulwell) waste it each time he gets the chance.
Not to mention Portia Lucretia Simpson Miller, she is my biggest turn off. I have had it with her, never addressing the issue, only promoting herself PORTIA, PORTIA, PORTIA, Mama P. Utter foolishness. God help us because if our future is with her it looks very very dim.

Lavern,You are so correct.Vote wisely! RESPECT

I must agree with Esteban, Lavern, Tuff Gang and others who believe this Prime Minister is just not ready.She is unable to focus on issues,she screams her head off, and jump and prance. Just not Prime Ministerial material.
August 9th, 2007 at 1:21 pm
well only a stupid jamaica would really for the pnp cause they love the suffering and then again we want a prime minister who can represent us not someone to scream their head off. vote for a change ….. vote jlp
