document.write("Only if the UDM,DA, ID, IFP, all become one party and we get rid of all the little nonsensicle parties we have hanging around.  South Africa should only have two major parties running for Goverment, but once again ego and greed are the reason why there are so many stupid and idiotic people running around pretending to be Political bigwigs.. Nadine");
document.write("<h5>contradictory democracy</h5>");
document.write("why is it that a debate between x president mbeki & zuma something that zuma wants to keep between themselves? because mbeki is an educated man, well learned & experienced in world afairs- zuma is only experienced in finacial difficulties due to his excessive family affairs (so many wives & way too many children)to be democratic about any  important decisions politically or otherwise.im not saying that i am a mbeki fan, but he did earn respect because of his properness. zuma is a slap in the face of democracy. a democracy that is sorely needed in this troubled,beautiful country.how unconstitutional is it that he wants a cloak & dagger debate? zuma & his cronies are so childish in their asperations, its scary to think that they will be making decisions for the whole of south africa.maybe thats why they shunned our great madiba- he saw what was happening to his great vision of a true democracy. he saw the greed that had taken grip of those without self control.please fellow south africans with a will to be part of this countries future- vote- and vote for a party that wants the best for every citizen in south africa. . cheryl");
document.write("<h5>NEW PARTY/ABOVE COMMENT</h5>");
document.write("One of the great afflictions since 1992 has been,pie in the sky stuff,ie,expectations,(probably fuelled by the ruling party),that are in no way logical and under no circumstances that I can see will ever be fullfilled.Whether you like it or not the only party that can take votes from the ANC,must be powerful,voting trends suggest voters of late vote for parties they deem to already be powerful,so they(the voters will come out on the winning side as it were,)and their DNA must suppress a large amount of mellanin,the voting trends also suggest that voting trends follow this pattern. \"Now try and work it out\". Think about it");
document.write("<h5>To hell with Mbeki</h5>");
document.write("There is no need for Zuma to debate with Mbeki if he want answers he needs to approach the ANC NEC why debate with Zuma? was he fired by Zuma. Mbeki's stupidity is amazing. He failed to debate while he was the president of the Counrty now that there is no gracy train for him he wants to debate. To HELL WITH HIM.. Bongs");
document.write("<h5>Zuma - morally bankrupt and a coward</h5>");
document.write("Zuma may have been found not guilty of rape and maybe he's found not guily of corruption but he's definitely guilty of appallingly bad judgement - and this should preclude him from high office. <br />South Africa does not need a president who took sexual advantage of a mentally disturbed HIV victim who looked to Zuma for guidance and called him \"uncle\"<br />So not only is he morally bankrupt but now also a coward by refusing a challenge to debate the reasons for his disgusting public lynching.<br />Gavin. gavin");
document.write("<h5>Zuma is worried !!</h5>");
document.write("Remember Mbeki would never subject himself to a debate with Tony Leon even though he was challenged many times.<br />Zuma knows he will come out second best against Mbeki.<br />Loss of face is not part of African culture.<br />This election 2009 will see the end of ANC two thirds majority.<br />A lot of voters undecided in the past will come to the polls to vote for the new party.<br />The more sleepless nights Zuma has the better I like it..
