rixalex Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 "In no small part thanks to the Dems" You wouldn't be lauding something the Dems have done in opposition regarding Thaksin would you? no surprise there then I'd laud anyone for helping delay a reconciliation bill that had zero to do with reconciliation.

473geo Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) Parties that have been in opposition don't tend to campaign with proud boasts of what they did in opposition, but rather proud boasts of what they will do once in power. Take PTP at the last election. Did they boast about how so many of their people had been involved in one way or another with all the death and destruction in Bangkok? Or any of their other great achievements in opposition. Don't recall so. Tell me rixalex was the passport of Pin Chakkaphak revoked and was he harried and chased around the world by the Democrats?......just asking One on the run criminal didn't have his passport revoked, so neither should Thaksin... is that where this stream of thought is journeying to? Thaksin's support group should have this sort of excuse patented. Well his passport wasn't revoked, well he did it, well he got away with it, well he is just as bad, well they are just as corrupt, well the PAD.. blah blah blah... airport airport, airport, conspiracy, elite, politically motivated.... Oh dear a poor, childish response, the point being that the existance of similar situations not handled in the same aggressive manner by the democrats would rather indicate the persuance of Thaksin an obsessive witchhunt for political ends......not just a simple regular following of proceedure as some would have us believe would it not?

By the way, "blah blah blah" is fast becoming the most cohesive, convincing, and frequently used debating response from the Anti red shirts, well done showing much improved rhetoric Edited September 16, 2012 by 473geo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. It's usual for criminals to be prioritized by authorities. They never pursue all on the run criminals with exactly the same resources and vigor. Perhaps you could start a support group for on the run criminals who are cruelly and unfairly being chased and harassed more than other fellow on the run crims. The injustice of it!

Care to highlight a couple of issues raised by the opposition other than it would enable Thaksin to return? I'm not disputing there were, just perhaps these issues were not quite hammered home in the same manner, I may have missed them Edited September 16, 2012 by 473geo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
