Maddog- "...and thats why I came to the conclusion that you are one of them or their next too kin. That's all you could come up with after all these hours? I challenged you to put forward an objective argument and you have failed again and again which leaves me to believe you have nothing of merit to say. Why else have you not been able to put a single point forward without calling others names? "I feel sorry for your ignorance....... Dude, you are the last person who should be feeling sorry for me. If anyone needs sympathy here, it's clearly not me ! :) "I can see why you support the blood suckers of Nepal....you must be those who benifit when one of them gets elected...I mean how can you not see how the political bloodsuckers sucked our country to destruction and how you still support them???" My support for the SPA is issue based. That's much more than can be said of yours for the King which, based on everything I have read so far, seems to be based on blind faith. I support most, but not all, of what they are doing today because I feel they are best suited, amongst the current lot, to lead the country forward. King Gyanendra had his chance, and in my opinion he screwed up, and now someone else needs to be given a chance. If the parties screw up again, then they need their butts kicked by the people and I am all for it. And, no I do not benefit from the parties coming to power. I admit my support is ideological perhaps to a small extent - like I believe in a pluralistic and fair society - but it is issue based for the largest part. By the same token are you related to or benefit from the Palace or it's supporters coming to power? Since you have made that accusation at me, is it fair for me to assume the same about you? If King Gyanendra is so great and so popular and so right as you claim, why not give up the thrown and run for elected office? What better way to prove your point than to get an elected mandate? I am willing hear out candidate Gyanendra if he has anything of substance to say about where he wants to take the country. My vote is up for grabs for anyone who can convince me why I should vote for them.
