BS ! Are you trying to say they spent all that money on bribes for nothing?

Vote buying negates the principle of democracy

Here's link to whole article:

So an anonymous, unnamed pundit provides the basis for your points?

For others, simply having the name of the blog's author would serve as a minimum requirement. Otherwise, it carries no more weight than the opinion of any other anonymous pundit on any random internet forum such as this one.

An excellent choice by the committee.

Anjana has worked tirelessly for over a decade since her husband was murdered and then scandalously ridiculed by the Thaksin regime.

I expect much of the criticism comes from people who would actually want one, but simply cannot afford it.

I expect much of the criticism comes from people who actually see it for what it is.

Neat act to eliminated the Shins since no one else from the yellow side have been convicted. How appropriate that Thaksin and Yingluck fall into that category. Expect the junta apologists will say that only they are corrupted.

Let's hear some names, then. And then their alleged crimes.

Let's start with the 7 cases with the NACC since 2010 that involved Dem Party. Lots procrastination while others (mainly PT) have been fast tracked, convicted and banned from politics . And please don't ask me what 7 cases, Mr. Know-all.

Why start from 2010? Why not 1987 when Thaksin started Shin and AIS? The Thai satellite project had been started in 1983 and bidding for concessions commenced in 1987. Thats when Thaksin, without any prior experience, decided to make money in telecom. He got his concessions from his junta friends (military coup 1991) and later awarded one of the generals a cabinet position in his "democratically" elected goverment in 2004.

Of course there are many Democrat examples of procrastination over the years. But the PT camps completely own this field. They are nowhere near being comparable. Not even when we throw politically motivated cases in the pitch, as you seem to like.

What's more interesting is the vocality against corruption. Here the positions are completely reversed. As they have been all the way since 1991.

Why do you think that is?

"Why start from 2010?"

Likely, that's when his knowledge of Thai politics began.

The latest attempt to block the Shinawatra siblings from ever returning to politics could result in the draft charter failing to pass the planned referendum, as Pheu Thai supporters would not be happy to see their favourite politicians wiped out, a Pheu Thai politician said yesterday.

What a truly cynical thing to say, should, of course, have read we as a party are incapable of winning the peoples hearts and minds without Thaksins money. Incredibly sad but probably true.

Thaksin won the hearts and minds of the people with his 30 baht health care plan and his one tambon one product policy, not to mention his wiping off all the nations debt in less than 2 years and his meet the people style politics.

And when he finally gets before a judge, what will it count for? In a criminal court, criminal deeds aren't counterbalanced by good, and whatever benefits the Thai people got, he got more from them.

BTW have you heard the one about how he paid off the IMF with his own money? I wonder how that rumour got started.

Started by the same rumor-generating machine that had many people convinced that he personally paid for peoples' medical operations.

Former Pheu Thai MP Worachai Hema voiced his frustration over this provision, saying "they" were obviously trying to get rid of politicians from the Pheu Thai camp.

Irony in its extreme.

Thailand voiced its frustration when the same guy tried to save politicians who ran the Pheu Thai camp.....

Aug. 5, 2013 - The Yingluck government is pushing for the amnesty bill sponsored by Pheu Thai MP and Red Shirt Leader Worachai Hema...

We're the Thai Army and one thing, maybe the only thing, we are very good at is staging coups.

We don't need and help or encouragement from any outside source.

There's something else they are pretty good at along with coups and that's mowing down their own citizens in great numbers and with extreme prejudice. So not just a one trick pony at all.

That is what all armies throughout history have been best at.

Those are two things that he appears to be not good at; knowledge of any army and history.

I cannot see the need for this card.

If you pay a few hundred baht you get through immigration quickly.

If you have a good lawyer you can get a visa for 5 years or more.

All this costs less than 2 million baht.

What ever the card can offer can be replicated cheaper...

Only a thousand or so people who actually paid for the card over the past 12 years would disagree with you, while millions and millions would agree.

The unbridled hatred from Taksin haters sounds just like Fox addicts rants about that Obama fellow....

What does the unbridled love from Thaksin/Yingluck lovers sound like?

That pic is from 2 weeks ago? Yingluck - never stop hot.

sheeshhhhh you got very low standards of what constitutes hot.

where are the nude pics???
