WorldFun Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 why are we surprised now? did we all just think the 'other camp' would accept their embarrassing defeat & go back to sleep licking their wounds of course not, but since the new government is a strong one having good backing & even seem to hold some common sense & valid tactics it means the reds will run out of ammu fairly soon & thus it'll be a peaceful & short lived demonstration that will lead to nowhere well at least thats my version of it currently for whats its worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorldFun Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I see The posts poll doesn't look to good either (50% agrees with the red shirts!): "Bangkok Post » Poll Do you agree with the red-shirt protest against the new government? The United Front of Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) will gather on Sunday to push the new PM to call an elction. * Start date:Dec 26, 2008 * End date:Jan 5, 2009 * Voters: 13,571 times * No, give the government some time 26% * Yes, I agree with the red-shirted people 50% * Not sure. This is not really my concern 0% * No, the Democrats are good to lead 5% * Yes, the Democrats are not good to lead 16% " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 My taxi driver coming home was from Nongkhai. I told him I was sick of politics. He replied that everyone is. He likes Mr T, but does not support the Red Shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not really my concern 0% * No, the Democrats are good to lead 5% * Yes, the Democrats are not good to lead 16% That is one hell of a biased poll taking (if quoted correctly), all negative associations are with the Democrats. ...No, give the government some time ...No, the Democrats are good to lead ...Yes, the Democrats are not good to lead let's face it the protests will never stop because that is what happens in corrupt and uneducated countries and since this worked out for 49 times in the last 60 years the only way to stop it is to hit them with brutal force which will never happen and that's why Thailand will always be a country with tons of opportunities but they will never get passed that point and becoming a country with major achievements!
