  1. I think some Tories are delusional that anyone is really aware of their internal qualm.
  2. I find it all rather amusing. Those rascally Liberals are so well organized.
  3. http://www.edmontonsun.com/news/canada/200...257661-sun.html And he isn't the only Tory in Quebec spending like a drunken sailor. Blackburn has spent 20% of the regional money in his area even though it accounts for 4% of the population of the province.
  4. 58 percent of GOP not sure/doubt Obama born in US http://www.politico.com/blogs/glennthrush/...US.html?showall This is going to become a bigger and bigger issue for Republicans who will ask the GOP representative to remove Obama from office as they have in recent weeks.
  5. http://www.thehilltimes.ca/members/login.p...h_wing/&c=2 Yeesh, even the internal divisions in the Conservative party are the fault of the Liberals.
  6. I guess we'll say the same thing when NDP numbers come in for the next quarter.
  7. Perhaps if you looked at the original posts like I said: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/08/2...s_n_227580.html http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3742386,00.html I think you should apologize for bloviating again. You sound like an angry person. I'm sorry if you disagree with the number but until I hear a correction, I don't know that I can go based on your guess. Once again sorry if you don't think Gaza is a fact. Verifiable: Gaza. You see, you sound hysterical now. The whining is getting to be a little much now. Canada seems to be doing just fine, thank you. We were even asked to continue helping from both Palestine and Israel. I think it means that Israel has signed peace agreements and evacuated land. Hamas has only committed itself to a fight. And now we see the focus on the West Bank.
  8. This isn't money that the Tories have raised.
  9. It has been defined. The report said in the weeks ahead. Then you don't trust the leader of the settlers. According to the leader of the settlers. I have heard no other number. The media has not given any other number. Then by all means don't believe it. As I said, don't believe it. Suit yourself. I did. The report said in the next weeks. You do have a hard time reading. The Washington Post checks facts and that includes numbers. Fine. Don't believe the numbers. Your certainly don't get give a number of settlers though so don't even pretend it does. And now the focus is on the West Bank even if you don't want to notice. I know you are not happy about it. Sorry. The focus is now on the West Bank even though you want to disengage now. Yes verifiable. Gaza was verifiable. Oslo said a process in place. Stop the violence, start removing settlements. You want it all done right away or you get upset. Stop acting like a child. Your unilateralism and pouting obviously has no one in Canada listening. You said you were going to look into the NDP? Good luck with that. Canada will continue to support Israel because Israel has made peace agreements with a number of its neighbors and has evacuated two sections of land occupied after 1967. All settlers were removed from those areas. Hamas has not made any peace agreement and no concession to its demand for all Israel. As I said, Israel has evacuated settlers twice from occupied land.
  10. I agree. I would like to be able to see a list every month so that comparisons could be made.
  11. I agree. However, the Tories have been laughing their asses off about the complaints. Some ridings get mailings by the handful every day from MPs far, far away from the province. Winnipeg South Center gets mailings from Alberta, Ontario and Quebec and it goes on and on. The financial disclosure pretty much shows the amount that is going out.
  12. The link I provided said that it was in the weeks ahead. I don't recall ever giving you an exact day and I gave you think links to show why that wasn't going to happen. The original link said in the weeks ahead so I don't know what the bloviating is about. Please. The Post said 8000 in the settlements to be evacuated. I didn't see any other numbers and if you had any other numbers for those specific settlements, you would have provided them. I did. 8000. You just don't like the source. What was said was very specific. 8000 settlers. Did. So, you just don't like the source. You think he is lying. 8000 clearly dwarfs the numbers the Israelis were talking about for other units. Did. Showed you the link in the beginning. It never said a specific day. They had a specific timeframe. What childish behaviour. So, let's just say you don't like the source. You don't believe the source. You are convinced it is 100 based on one news report about one outpost that may or may not have been scheduled for closure with the 23 now. What you are saying is that you don't believe the Washington Post checks numbers given to them by sources they quote in the paper. That is what you are saying. Fine, don't believe the source. Don't believe Wallerstein. Don't believe the numbers. Stick with your 100. Gaza was real. It was practical and it showed Israel was willing to leave an area and evacuate 8000 settlers And we have seen Israel come to the table and evacuate settlers from two areas. What has your side done? I know you want it all and you want it now. We are already seeing results. I expect we will be seeing more. Your definition of actual results is not in accordance with everyone else who agreed as Oslo. It is because Israel is at the table and has evacuated land and is in negotiation to evacuate more. Maybe Hamas will learn to talk. They haven't so far.
  13. I told you at the time that you weren't going to get the exact hour and date. It is amazing what you will get worked up over. Aside from the Israeli prime minister saying it will happen. Go to the Washington Post will your problem. I haven't seen any corrections pointing to your 100 settlers only. You always ask me for a specific number. Give me a specific number for the 23 settlements. I gave you the Washington Post link and you are not happy with it. Give me the actual number then. Come on. It can't be that hard. I did. 8000 according to the Washington Post. I have seen no correction to that number despite your outcry. You just extrapolated information but it certainly wasn't about the 23 settlements. Give me the correction then. Nope. There is a schedule. They fact check every statement according to their journalistic oath. For example, the checked every fact given by Deepthroat. As we found out, it wasn't an imaginary person and every fact checked out. This is what the Washington Post does. You are basically saying that they have someone state a number and don't bother to check if the number is inaccurate or not. Hamas has not joined any process. They have not violated any process because they are not part of it. You seem to think that if Israel leaves all the territories immediately that Hamas will be peaceful. They won't. It isn't just about settlements for them. It is about all of Israel. Israel has evacuated settlements twice. The first time led to a lasting peace. The Gaza evacuation led to increased attacks from the very land they left. We do what we are doing now... continuing with the process of ending violence and removing settlements. Those talks are going on now. You want to abandon that now and start sanctions. Hamas hasn't violated the peace. They never agreed to it. You can't even acknowledge that.
  14. I think most of the tweaking has happened before it even arrived at party headquarters. For example, some of the more experimental resolutions at conventions such as legalization of prostitution are not going to be in the policy platform.
  15. They are called 10 percenters. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/new-brunswick/sto...percenters.html I get them almost every day. As demonstrated with the expense releases, the Tories outspend every other party's MPs. The idea behind the flyers was for Parliamentary information. Now, it is an election flyer. Many people have been complaining about for a few years. It has fallen on deaf ears. The only way to get the Tories are going to end it is if they start getting them in big numbers in their own ridings.
  16. The policy platform agenda was to be delivered by the end of June to party headquarters. It was. The party leader and caucus now need to decide whether it will be released to public over the course of an election or during a legislative session.
  17. The cash numbers reveal the staggering difference. The Tories spend more than the Liberals and NDP combined. My guess is the only way this stops is if the Tories get tired of them being sent to their ridings in growing numbers. Tories: $55,000 per member. Liberals: $24,000 per member.
  18. And I asked who told him. Are you incapable of admitting that the Tories are blaming Liberals for this even now?
  19. I have been complaining for quite some time. No one is interested. The Tories will only take notice when Liberals use the same tactic is my guess.
  20. As as Tory supporter them, you should be upset that your party is making accusations. Just as you are making accusations.
  21. Yes, I expect the wasting of $55,000 a year per Tory MP is a big yawner for many on the right.
  22. Tell your people to let it go. They are making accusations.
  23. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/nation...article1235814/ It is obvious the Tories don't think it is a waste of money so now I expect we will see all parties do it. Till now, the Liberals spent the least on these things.
  24. The numbers are out tonight. http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianp...-G1Y70WFM4L8bQg And for the rest of the parties:
  25. The Tories don't let it go. They are accusing the Liberals of some sort of conspiracy. Why don't you let it go?
