But as I continued reading, I felt my Oxygen supply is getting cut off! The phrase which Oscar quoted was tossed up by presidential advisor & political strategist in James Carville, the highly regarded Democratic political operative from Louisiana's bayou country, which helped keep the 1992 Clinton campaign in focus and "on message" with a simple four-word phrase - It's the economy, stupid. To me his misquote appears to be his typo error (I consider it before he say's so) or may be ...another Task Force gimmick...or...????? Have a re-look to his post in GT. Check how Oscar starts his article with CATCHY TITLE . and has he continues further he appears confused? He even forgot that, today American's, especially working class, are uneasy about the economy, and they are up in arms telling Bush at White House (with rephrased phrase): "It's the TAX hike, stupid!" Having expressed this, Oscar's confused mind, confused thinking, and or his typo mistakes - what ever it may be - has created waves, speculations, raising unwanted question marks all over Goa. Any way Goans will have to be watchful on ------who says what? Nevertheless, it's interesting to take this phrase further and check it's applicability to Goa! Today in Goa, the prices of every thing - Roti, Kapda and Makan including Goan favorite FISH - the basic requirements of Aam Admi - are shooting sky high day by day! Why? Did any one paid attention to this issue? Why at all a politician should decide even what Fish Goans should be eating tomorrow and at what price? Well, friends, all this is happening at the command and blessings of our favorite Congress MLAs and Congress Ministers. Congress regime, for past 2 - 3 years, has created mess in economic security, health, housing affordability, environmental sustainability, and cultural vitality. They have not only influenced and screwed our democratic participation and public policies but compelled Aam Admi come on roads in 2007. In reality, Economy should have been the servant of society, but these politicians have changed the meaning of economy upside down and made society the servant of the economy! Above statements have been picked up by me from what I heard at GBA meetings during Regional Plan agitations, where GBA members had literarily washed congressmen using CORRUPTION soap! Same statements were also heard during anti-SEZ agitations of both the groups!!! And also during IT Park agitation!!!! Some of our Goanet members were also vocal on CORRUPTION charges against Congress regime during one or other agitations that shook Goa upside down in the year 2007!!!!! OR should I say 2008 is going to be an ERA of CHEMELIONS & CORRUPTION - quick bunks & quick fucks!! Friends, at the end of the day its THE FACT prevailing in Goa for which I have every reason to rephrase the original phrase of James Carville and say: IT'S CONGRESS POLITICIANS, STUPID; ITS CONGRESSMEN, STUPIED; IT'S CONGRESS SUPPORTERS, STUPID; its...
