I don't know what scares me more, these guys desecrating a war memorial or this kind of liberal indifference to it shown above. Yep, who cares? Don't punish him, that's what ah said, huh?

wth? You're comparing Bush to Bill Clinton now? Bush has f'd up the USA, it's sense of self, it's relationship with the world, it's legal ethics, Iraq, terrorism, the list could go on. He's the most arrogant and power-grubbing and just plain WORSE President EVER. His simplistic "visions" are messing up the planet. You could put that on a poll question and get about 65% of Americans agreeing with you. So don't even bother.

good grief. Winston Churchill must be spinning in his grave. Everything Bush has touched has turned to sh@t. I'm not carping, I'm telling you the man has ruined his Country and is doing his best with the rest of the world. Bush didn't deliver anything. Al Qaida delivered the bad news and ANY President would have gone after them. Pretending otherwise is nonsense.

Why is "Bush" the automatic demonization term these days? Oh, I don't know. Maybe because he's been an unmitigated disaster?

Have you seen the picture? It was just a drunken idiot kid. Yes, he deserves to be punished...but let's not get carried away. I think the PM should shut his mouth about it for one. Don't make political hay at the expense of a kid, over one stupid drunken act. As well, this kid could be a young offender....so the Ottawa Citizen better watch it's step.

You are free to complain. For my part, I will call a spade a spade. You are baiting and trolling me, and if that's against the rules I will be warned. Do you enjoy this departure from intelligent debate?

I actually laughed out loud when I read this post. UPDATE: What would have made it even better would have been if you'd ended the post, "GORE FOR PRESIDENT!!!" And the point of your post (beyond trolling/baiting) is......? Al Gore is not running for President, btw. Global Warming is what he's devoted to. All the non-idiots in this world would do well to pay attention....put asside their partisan pettiness and worries about political opponents and think of things bigger than the next midterm or President.

Absolutely. If you're an honest person, and you look at what Frank Luntz told them to do and what they're doing...you would not deny it. It's obvious.

LOL! Oh, so the MEDIA had a hand in it? The media is not there to make sure that the political parties are following election law. In answer to your question "where is the theft?".... If you underpay your taxes through incorrect declarations, are you breaking the law? Are you not stealing from the Canadian government? Of course you are. Show some more class than Harper. If they messed up they messed up, deal with it. Don't yap about Liberals (not saying you are, Harper is) just accept that there's an investigation going on and the CPC might have f'd up. The defense being mounted by people who know nothing is indicitive of the zealous willingness to accept anything the CPC does. Very Bush-like.

I'll take that to mean you admit you're wrong about the receipts. The National press ban. Let's not play games, k? You're aware of the little battle Harper is engaged in with the national press and his decision to ignore them. I realize you're about to come back with a retort about how the national press started it and it's all their fault and there's no press ban because he's reaching out to other press. Don't bother.

First good point you have made . That's why after none of that for 13 years Canadians are ready for some governance and maturity. God bless Stephen Harper. Oh yes, all hail Stephen Harper! God keep him safe and sound. If you've read the original post and been paying attention to your government (and cared!) you'd echo what I'm saying. Nobody can deny the constant drone of attacks on the Liberals. When asked about issues it's like a knee jerk reaction...attack the Liberals. When will they start being a government standing on their own record and answering for themselves?

Yes, the tone has descended. It appears there is 100% CPC focus on bashing Liberals with silly little insults, and given Luntz's advice to them it makes sense. It will backfire I believe. Canadians want to see some governance and maturity, not all partisan strategizing all the time..

No traction in the mainstream? Junk science? You're either delusional, or partisan. Global warming is a hell of a thing to be partisan about.

Ok children, pay attention I'm only going to repeat this twice: Now, go get your mats it's nap time!

What about lying and trolling? You lied earlier in this thread when you said "Yes, well this is the third thread started on the same topic within a few days. " It clearly is not. Or perhaps you can point out which other topics here are the same as this topic? Do not further sully your noble rightwing tradition with further lies. Oh, and happy stalking! I'm sure you're scouring the internet now!

Where else is this topic posted? USE THE REPORT BUTTON INSTEAD OF TROLLING/FLAMING ME. I COULD COPY THE RULES ON TROLLING/FLAMING FOR YOU, BUT YOU OBVIOUSLY KNOW WHERE TO FIND THE RULES SO GO READ THEM AND THEN CEASE YOUR IMMATURE LITTLE GAMES PLEASE.

I'm having a difficult time not calling you some profane adverbed names. But I'll resist, and instead I'll explain things to you like I do to a child. I don't have to explain myself to a rightwinger more concerned with silly "gotchas" than truthful discussion. If you think you've discovered something against the rules, you report. If you think I've posted something here improperly, report. Don't pollute the forum with your snivelling and whining, understand?

Hollywood? This is a Hollywood soapbox? What anti-American nonsense. An Inconvenient Truth is the 5th highest grossing documentary ever, and it's still on limitted release. Did you laugh at it in it's first week for only being on two theaters? probably. You were no doubt out there saying "oh look, it's only in two theaters! What a flop!" And no doubt the same thing the next week when it was only in 100. Or the next week when it was in less than 200. Or the next week....and so on. It's still in limitted release. I know you and the rest of the global warming denial (PLEASE don't take away my SUV! snif) club want to keep the truth down, but it ain't happening. In the end, the truth comes out.

Well, what you saw were not receipts in the flavor that are required, obviously: http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/s...ebe8c7b&k=82796 I don't see how your take on it matters, since we've seen multiple sources quoted in multiple stories saying that the rules are clear and a convention entry fee must be declared. I thought your point was that the convention is outside of the election activity period? You're trying to cover ALL the bases here! Listen, Harpers people are saying one thing....that the convention didn't turn a profit therefore nothing need be declared. Old time Reform and Alliance persons contacted by the press as well as some legal experts are saying that's not correct. Stand by your man, the truth will out (in spite of the press ban!)

Insult, followed by a lie. Nice touch. This is the only topic on Frank Luntz and the influence his strategizing has had on the behaviour of the CPC that I can find. But please, point me to another. If there is one I will ask for this one to be closed, which is so obviously your hearts most precious desire.

What about present day Conservatives? They'd like to rename it "USA day"!!

It is the most pressing issue we face, yes. I never indicated it is "the end of the world". It is a common rightwing tactic of deceit to try and portray anyone speaking about the seriousness of global warming as an over-the-top alarmist. Don't employ it against me, please.

No it is not. Comment on the topic or do not comment at all.

Post 18 was more of an ad hom squirt at myself than a comment on the thread. As was this last post. You keep trying though.
