I don't want blood on my hands- Fiifi Kwetey (Has Rawlings asked you to kill anybody?) Rawlingses should give up their shares in NDC- E.T. Mensah (Is the NDC a limited liability company or has the Rawlingses ever claimed to own the NDC) Rawlings is a Liar- Yaw Boateng Gyan (And you joined the party formed on the principles and ideology of a Liar) Rawlings' opinions no longer relevant-Yaw Boateng Gyan (Let's wait and see) Those who oppose Mills are traitors- Richard Quarshiga (A real democrat. Believes everyone should tow a particular line)

NDC is not for any individual or family-Betty Mould-Iddrissu (Who has said so? A lawyer of your standing? Make a recommendation to the Constitutional Review Commission that once an individual becomes president, the spouse is automatically barred)

Konadu was De-facto president for 19 years-Collins Dauda (Have we ever had a president for 19 yrs, for the spouse to become a de-facto president? And what have you been doing in such a bad party all these years. Protecting your perks and opportunities i guess?)

We are in a democracy, not a military regime-Fred Agbenyo (Who said we are still in a military regime? Feel like being heard too eh?)

NDC has outgrown the Rawlingses- Kobby Acheampong ( NDC has always been bigger than them, issues of co/single chairmanship, Obed/Mahama Iddrissu chairmanship, various running mates chosen by Mills, NDC members of parliament not vying for executive positions etc They state their position vehemently, but always tow the party line. Been very busy fouling the air with your acid tongue, forgot to do a proper analysis, i guess.)

Strip Rawlings of founder position-Alhaji Bature (Is this the first time Rawlings has endorsed and supported a candidate? Mills, Nii Lante, Asiedu Nketiah, Mahama Iddrissu, etc Power of four wheel drive i guess.) Mills will not tolerate coup makers-Haruna Iddrissu (An Integral Part of a party that metamorphosed out of a military regime and whose principles and ideology is based on a coup maker. lack of principles or Opportunism)

NDC is not a spiritual church- Asiedu Nketiah (Bui Block talk)

Lack of principles, Sycophancy, Opportunism and intolerance at its best. We will all be living witnesses to what happens between now and DEC 07 2012. Can't wait to hear from which sides of their mouth these "democrats" will be speaking from between now and DEC 07 2012. Disappointing lot. And if they are so intoxicated by power and have short memories, they should remember that Goosie and co left and we lost 2000. Obed and Mills' antagonism made us lose 2004. And if we think antagonizing Jerry Rawlings will make us win 2012, we all need to join the Jaguar Jokers at the key soap concert party. The issue at stake is more than Naana and Mills contesting for flagbearership. If and when we lose 2012, then the reality will dawn on all of us. And when Prof is no longer in power, then will he also realise that he had a so called "CAMP" in the NDC only because he was president at the time.

Cool, objective, rational heads must prevail to resolve whatever issues are outstanding. We need each other to survive 2012 and beyond; otherwise we should start writing our handing over notes. Emotions and the euphoria of winning the July congress have taken over commonsense and we are running down each other as if our survival depends on it.

PROF MILLS, in case you have forgotten, you are the leader of this party and the responsibility for resolving differences rests with you. You are the PRESIDENT for God’s sake. I rest my case.
