In sad mind I'm contributing to the thread to see how even great thinkers are captivated by CCM such that they cannot fathom the idea of 2015 man of the nation to come outside of CCM!. It is so pathetic to see this even after all unprecedented corruption evils that the nation has witnessed under the rule of the party by the people of the party at the expense of the weary taxpayers. Now I am starting to beleive the casual words uttered by one member of the CCM party -- that CCM is here to rule forever no matter what!
No matter how i distaste the idea of Membe vs Lowassa for the presidency but if it were to be, God forbid, where would I bet my hard earned money? To be sincere, I would give a go for Lowassa. Why? Because the man is not a hypocrite. CCM is full of hypocrite corrupters and it seems to me that Lowassa is only a man who is not a double dealer in the town game. He is corrupt and he knows it but he is not afraid to tell of his corruption as part of grand scheme that contains even his boss -- the chairman of the party himself. Membe is just a hypocrite who pretends he is something when he is nothing. he was eve prepared to sell the nation to a bunch of human right violaters, the so called OIC (Organisation of Islamic gangs).
