Philipsburg: --- The president of the Democratic Party Michael Ferrier and Andy Wescott, son of Democratic Party leader Sarah Wescott Williams has reacted very sternly to an email sent out by the founder of the People's Progressive Party Donald Hughes. Hughes sent out an email on Thursday urging the recipients to go a website and learn more about two of the PPA candidates that have teamed up with the United People's Party for the 2010 country election. In the email Hughes said "As we approach 10-10-10 our focus is on who we will be electing to represent St. Maarten in Parliament. A serious matter is now at hand. We cannot continue to handle this as Business as usual. Stop and think before you vote and choose the best candidates to form our next Parliament. I am introducing you to DR. Ruth, a medical Doctor by profession and a hardworking woman who can face tomorrow's challenges in the next Parliament. Visit this website and learn more about "Dr. Ruth."

Andy Wescot and recipient of the email responded to Hughes by saying "Thanks for the link; unfortunately we're not interested in any of UPP's candidates for this upcoming election; frankly, we think you and PPA stood a better chance running on your own and not with T.O. This is the very same Theo that you, Gracita, and the PPA publicly labeled corrupt; Gracita, in her departure from the DP, publicly chastised T.O. and his wheeling and dealing as her main excuse to leave the Democratic Party. What is really taking place at this time? Do you and your former PPA followers expect the people of St. Martin to forget the dislike and distrust you had all these years for Theo Heyliger?
We and by extension, the people of St. Maarten, can't and won't.
And why now? Are the rumors that the UPP paid big money to the PPA to "Team-UP" for St. Martin true?

No, Don, we urge everyone copied to VOTE RED, VOTE FOR EXPRIENCE, and VOTE DP!

Shortly after receiving the response Hughes responded by saying "Thanks for responding, however only "Time will tell!" As her majesty's loyal opposition in Government the PPA under the leadership of Gracita made every effort to do her job to the best of her ability. She preached Transparency, good governance and she constantly urged those in the position of power to try and better the lives of our people. As the number 2 Candidate on the UPP slate, she will maintain her position on these issues and based on that simple facts, I will support her candidacy....You will undoubtedly follow your leader and I will follow mine. On September 17th, I am voting Green.
Wishing you all the best in this campaign. There is one fact that I must before ending DP's Slandering tactics will get you nowhere this election. Neither Gracita nor any member that followed her lead can be bought for any price. Please remember these words: Slander is the revenge of a coward, and dissimulation of his defense. People are tired of those same old dirty DP tactics. May the best team win!"

Well the ground war has started. I can't believe that Ferrier and Andy would make an issue out of receiving such an email. i guess the DP lost Gregory and now they can't keep up with UP this election. Well again they are showing their true colors and with Mikey and Rollocks running DP they will get a sound beating. Wait till the votes get counted on Sept 17th, 2010. I am not supporting Gracita, but UP Party got my vote. I just hope TO is ready to lead, cause this election is going to be rough.

Political whores, thats what people like DON and Gracita are. UN believable that politics make strange bed fellows. Never in my wildest dream i would imagine Gracita teaming up with the same corruption she abhored. She has just lost the votes of me and my family. Good bye Gracita.

Boy, Sxm politics is the best. After all this name calling we still live in peace with each other. After all is said and done continue to be a sxmner. Some comments will sting harder than some so stay strong and the best man/woman win. People stop getting emotional over politicians it is all a strategy in securing votes.

Wolf with sharp teeth

Theo called Gracita and Wolf with sharp teeth only wanting to get into government at all cost. Here is what Theo had to say about gracita:

"Commissioner Theo Heyliger said Arrindell was only out to shoot down a government decision, only wanting to get into government at all cost. He said being in the Island Council was not only about self, but about the people. “It looks again like 10 members are lashing at the poor leader of the PPA, the lone wolf. But watch out, that wolf also eats sheep. It might smile, but it has sharp teeth,” he said."

Here is the link in the Daily Herald:

The DP machinery is at work woi papa. They start pulling up news stories about T.O and Gracita. Boy this election is going to be great I just hope I get to buy my car after election done. I going by all of them to collect. They does use us the voters and now it is time for us to use them. I will vote for whomever pay me the highest amount. I aint see the link yet, but TO need Gracita (wolf) to protect him while he contnues to carry out his work. When I look at all the parties, I could never vote DP. After all the country is where it is because DP screwed it up royally. Sarah has allowed education to go down the drain. Our children are dalling out of school like flies, because there is no interest in school. If you cant follow milton peters or academy crappo smoke your pipe or you will have to resort to selling drugs to make a living. That will remain Sarah's legacy. Wiliam and his gang really aint ready to represent. Some can't even have an intelligent conversation. They are way over their heads in this political game. They win an election but dont know how to run an island. So I need Frans to give me some of that money from his Big Boss friend. T.O. and Gracita they don't trust each other. But individually they are both good candidates. I dont know about the rest, because we dont even know who they are. She will keep him in check and he has vision to keep the country running on green. FCCA and Ansari money spending like crazy.....So I got to get some of that too. I love Green, this is the only time I know I will get free money. 3 big boys with deep pockets. Maybe I dont even vote this year.

I agree with Cathow that William and boys are not ready to represent. Last year I voted for the NA by giving them the credit of the doubt. I too was disappointed in the DP and was confused about what was happening within the party. But the NA haven't proven that they are worthy. Can somebody tell me what they have done since in office for SXM? All they have done is pick up where DP left off. All those projects and proposal, except of that ridicules ToT increase plan where prepared by the previous government. Now I am ready to listen to the DP again, because let's face it, they are way better in governing than NA (and I am not saying that they were perfect) and it seems like they got their act to gether. Or The UP, because at least with Theo you know where he stands and I like his team.
Mr. Panneflek for example has his heart in the right place. He genuinely cares and want to work to improve safety and security on St. Maarten and he is a very capable man. I am willing to listen to the CPA as well. The only problem I have with the CPA is that they mainly focus on St. Martiners, so I do not feel it's about me too. But we will see. These are exciting times and the public should take the opportunity to listened and ask questions to candidates about their plans, programs, projects and policies for country St. Maarten. May the best party win.

Politics will remain politics. I am concern about the behaviour in Holland coming to the islands. My boy child who I raise to become a man and take care of this family (wife and children) has to be face with the homo invasion. This behaviour is against common sense and life as it stands. It cannot work and the sickos are trying to jam it down our throats (lt.). Two males together cannot produce children nor can two females, so what does that leave you with? The end of civilization. smilies/sad.gif This will bring curse to our little islands, we could hardly handel Luis, remember?

I remember a party called the PDP and Sarah ran against her leader Claude and the DP. Mikey was once a Vance supporter. Rollocks had SAPP. Now they all diehard DP since Jesus Christ walk the land. Who they fooling?
