David Granger does not know to wheel and deal

May 02, 2012 Letters

 

Dear Editor,
Mankind  is  the  most  divisive,  mischievous,  and  treacherous  of  God’s  creations.  The  intent  of  my  missive  is  to  reassure  the  residents  of  Linden  that  Brigadier  Granger  is  not  capable  of  cutting  deals,  as  some  mischievous  and  dishonest  individuals,  politicians  by  extension  may  want  you  to  believe.
Anyone  who  has  interacted  with  Granger  would  say  that  he  is  not  someone  whose  integrity  is  questionable.  The  fact  of  the  matter  is  that  Lindeners  have  made  a  U-turn  during this last  election  and  this  has  caused  many  to  be  in  a  state  of  shock,  which  will  remain  with  those  affected  for  a  very  long  time.
Lindeners  must  be  wary  of  those  who  come  like  thieves  in  the  night  to  create  confusion   in  their  community.  The  valiant  effort  to  gain  political  points  by  their attempt  to  tarnish  the  image  and   integrity  of  an  honest,  committed  and  caring  individual  whose  character  is  unquestionable  will  not  succeed.
The  haste  with  which  these  individuals  rushed  to  Linden  is  no  surprise; all  they  wanted  was  to  impress  Lindeners  that  they  really  care.  Either  these  politicians  are  barefaced  or they pretend  to  have  convenient  memories.
These  are  the  said  hypocrites  who  once  openly  criticised  the  PNC for  protesting on  the  streets.  I  wish  to  ask  these  politicians  if  they  truly  believe  that  poverty  affects  one’s  memory.  David  Granger  is  strong  enough  to  withstand  these  vicious  lies  peddled  by  elements  with  their  own  agenda.
What  is  there  for  Granger  to  sell ?  Granger  is  not  accustomed  to  selling  or  dealing. His  critics  called  him  a  new  kid  on  the  block  but  this  kid  has  done  what  no  other  politician  has  done.  The  Brigadier  is  concerned  about  the  poor  and  downtrodden  in  Guyana  and  was  not  elected  to  wage  unwarranted  vendetta  against  anyone,  because  he  has  no  personal  grudge  against.
As  leader  of  the  opposition Granger’s commitment  is  to  every  Guyanese  regardless  of  their  political  persuasion. Last  but  not  least,  the  man’s  name  is  David,  not  Judas  and  he  is  here  when  Guyanese  will  see  who are  the  wheelers  and  dealers.
David,  Rupert  and  Carl  are  men  of  integrity  and  Linden  and  Guyanese  by  extension  can  expect  effective  representation  from  them.
