GOING DOWN IN THE DRAIN AGAIN.

MR thought lesson no 1 To SF, now RW will teach him lesson 2 in politics and bring him down to earth both SF and his JVP buddies !!

-16+37 # Guest 2010-02-22 15:50

Balance Opposition : -Some of the UNPers will vote this time to this team because of SF.

I feel sorry for Arjuna, for backing the wrong horse!

-17+34 # Guest 2010-02-22 15:55

JVP ,for the second time seems to have used SF to cover up depletion of their vote base.

Good move General we as Srilankan need some strong person to counter attack thuggery and family politics

-32+31 # Guest 2010-02-22 16:01

Majority of UNP will vote SF. This time, Ranil will be humilated and will be forced to leave the UNP leadership!

-10+19 # Guest 2010-02-22 19:44

not likely . Only if Jvp contests separately will the country know there real vote base tey will not then be able to hold governments to ransom

-14+25 # Guest 2010-02-22 16:10

Either UNF votes will split or SF will end up loosing his deposit!

-10+20 # Guest 2010-02-22 16:13

Arjuna will be bat on as a last man from Gampaha,,,

-15+25 # Guest 2010-02-22 16:16

His second blunder!

-19+23 # Guest 2010-02-22 16:23

Better you run from OKLAHOMA!

-21+28 # Guest 2010-02-22 16:38

It will be end of SF

-13+31 # Guest 2010-02-22 16:51

Good decision, it is better to trust the JVP than the cunning and selfish UNP. Good luck

-14+18 # Guest 2010-02-22 16:56

it is not a healthy alliance withoout UNP

-18+30 # Guest 2010-02-22 17:03

I think we need people like SF. Good Luck SF

-4+32 # Guest 2010-02-22 17:05

The same UNP that spoke good of SF will now start slinging mud at him. Wait and see. This is the nature of our politicians.

-22+22 # Guest 2010-02-22 17:05

May be SF is planning to contest for a slot in Bogambara or Weliakde Prison.

-18+23 # Guest 2010-02-22 20:20

Could you please explain why a slot in Bogambara or Weliokade? Do you support an corruption, nepotism and waste? General Fonseka devoted his life for the good of the country.

-7+19 # Guest 2010-02-22 17:11

Is Anoma running the show when SF's fate is yet to be decided?

-10+24 # Guest 2010-02-22 17:13

The country badly needs JVPers to have a control over the irregularities of any ruling party. A good move by the General to back them.

-18+22 # Guest 2010-02-22 17:22

JVP dosent have any options other than commit suicide.

-12+25 # Guest 2010-02-22 17:25

Well done SF, we need a person like you. May triple Gems protect you!

-13+16 # Guest 2010-02-22 17:28

-6+15 # Guest 2010-02-22 19:13

Good news. We look forward to seeing you soon! God Bless you.

-15+20 # Guest 2010-02-22 20:15

Looses..... JVP will never get in to the parliament again.

-8+17 # Guest 2010-02-22 20:24

All my life our families voted UNP but this time it will be the JVP for the simple reason they are so stupid not to abandon Elephant. Even SLFP has abandoned their Hand

-13+21 # Guest 2010-02-22 20:24

MR IS RIGHT THIS MAN WANTS TO GAIN POWER HOOK OR BY CROOK HE WOULD FORM AN ALLIANCE WITH ANY PARTY BIG OR SMALL TO ACHIEVE THIS .

-22+21 # Guest 2010-02-22 20:30

I will definitely vote for what ever party SF leads.

-16+13 # Guest 2010-02-22 23:35

A vote for General Sarath Fonseka, is a vote for democracy, good governance and justice!

-4+7 # Guest 2010-02-23 00:00

Look like 'contesting against RW.'

-7+12 # Guest 2010-02-23 00:10

End of the opportunistic JVP blunders, after this election ...

-13+16 # Guest 2010-02-23 01:43

The heading should read "Fonseka to run for his life"!
