I thought you wanted the right to marry your girlfriend? Does your husband expect that too? Hmmm, CRAP don't really know what you are referring to? Could it be a leftie nickname for a now defunct political party? Close-minded faux intellectual leftie. Good on you for holding to the stereotype! I thought you were a centrist? I take it your silence on what a terrible PM Dithers was means that you agree he was an unmitigated disaster.

So it is the old *scary* *scary* *scary*. If the Conservatives get a majority God Forbid they will run roughshod over your rights. I haven't heard about massive crackdowns on marijuana possession since the Conservatives came into power. Yes Drea you are a centrist, you are a happy person and aren't calling Harper scary. You do remember the standard leftie line used to be that if Harper was ever Prime Minister God Forbid the Conservatives would run roughshod over your rights.

Again with the false memories? Paul Wells actually adresses that faleshood right here. That's ok. Good intelligent response. "Uhhh, I remember the Conservatives doing the same thing."

Women who vote Conservative are brainwashed. Freedom of religion is to be mocked and made fun of. You can know enough about a poster on an anonymous message board to know the 'control' he has over his wife. But you are a centrist open to debate? Hmmmm ... I see the contradiction. I think this is the quote you were trying to ignore. Happy person? I don't want to see somebody you think is unhappy.

It's pretty easy to mark it up to a 'matter of perspective' when you are talking about the things the Conservative-haters *say* they will do if they win a majority. There is no plan to re-introduce a bill governing abortion. You appear to have married who you pleased without the Government attempting to stop you. Sorry you can't smoke crack or heroin legally if you please to do so. The Liberals and NDP aren't proposing to change the law on that either. I hope:lol: So there are some restrictions on you doing what you please.

And our daughters that if they ever vote Conservative they were brainwashed somewhere along the line and need to be deprogrammed!

Ahh I forgot your clairvoyance. You *know* any woman who votes Conservative is brainwashed and you *know* I wasn't being sarcastic. Hmmm, typical Leftie. Considers themselves an intellectual of some kind. More close-minded than any Conservative. Always quoting the constitution ... when it suits them. Too obstinate to see when they have been duped. Freedom of religion? To be made fun of and belittled by the pseudo-intellectual lefties. So when Belinda crossed the floor was there an actual deprogramming session? You said any woman who supports the Conservatives is brain-washed then any of their MPs must, by extension, be brainwashed. Somehow a dinner with Mr. Dithers changed her from being brain-washed to a strong woman. You'd think a guy who could perform such magic over dinner wouldn't have been judged as one of the most disappointing Prime Ministers in Canadian history. It probably makes you angry every day thinking about Stephen Harper as Prime Miniter. How could *those people* vote for him. The truth is self-evident.

Completely agreed! Go Iggy Go!

Judge a person by their actions, not by what they 'call themselves'.

Sure. OK.

Hmmm neither Tie Domi nor Stronach challenged Domi's statement of claim in court. Ergo their legal acceptance of the statement of fact about the existence of a relationship. There's one for you. Clinton hmmm ... it was in the Enquirer so it's gotta be true. Stronach broke up with MacKay.

To be fair MacKay betrayed David Orchard. Who gives a f*ck about David Orchard? The majority of the Progressive Conservative members voted for the merger. Not really a betrayal...

He switched from the Liberals to the PCs in high school. He switched from the PCs to the Reform in the 80s. Hmm, something he has done twice in 30 years and that is regular behaviour? All the others were moves to a new party at the end of the old. Not a switch. Please quit being so dishonest.

You use that analogy to illustrate the silliness of somebody else's argument? Hmmm, maybe if you didn't use the word bitch it could be remotely credible. MacKay said nothing near as offensive as that.

If I woulda called you Honey it would a been sexist ... but that's the double-standard of the left. (Besides I wouldn't make such a presumption without seeing a photo first.) As for the second part. To quote Homer Simpson "In case you dont' get it I was being sarcastic." But thanks for falling for it.

Where are you getting that from? What experience/research/study has shown that Conservative women only think they are thinking for themselves? Seems to be another example of the faux open-mindedness of the Canadian left. "Conservative women can't be thinking for themselves, because they wouldn't vote that way if they were really thinking for themelves." That appears to be the logic you are appling to this situation.

Only in your eyes, and the anti-Harper crowd. Any actual evidence of Conservative 'sexist and boorish' comments anytime in the past year? If all you can come up with is MacKay's oblique reference it shows the weakness of your argument. I ask for evidence because memory is a beautiful thing. We tend to remember things the way we like them. Perhaps searching for the evidence will jog your memory to the truth ..... naw probably not.

So that means they have *aligned themselves* with the Republicans? I for one think it is a sign of maturity and class we haven't seen Conservative MPs stomping on dolls of the U.S. Presidents or senior Conservative staffers calling their counterparts in the White House a**holes. And the Liberals howled in protest when Prime Minister Harper rightly pointed out that most of the Liberal leadership contenders are anti-Israel. Nothing wrong with picking a side. Look at Mr. Dithers. Trying to play both sides is what lead to his failed Prime Ministership. Do you have any evidence of Conservatives actually responding more emotionally than Liberals? This is clearly the weakest part of your response given the emotional behaviour of all parties and their supporters in many cases. Clearly can't be supported. As opposed to the Liberals openness to all sides on SSM, the middle East, Afghanistan... The Liberals hold their positions just as staunchly as the Conservatives. At least they did under Chretien. Dithers, well there is a reason he got the nickname. The Canadian Charter of Rights guarantees Freedom of Religion. Glad to see only Conservativs are unable to look at issues from more than one point of view. btw I have never, ever heard GW Bush say God Bless Canada.

What names would have been appropriate to call her in your view? Opportunist? Unprincipled? Disloyal? Deceitful? The people who said what they said were very, very upset. They thought they were going to bring down the Government. Stronach was elected as a Conservative and crossed the floor for a cabinet seat.

Evidence? What exactly was it that he said, in your view. Tempest in a teapot. This is a story that will be long gone by Monday. If the Conservatives didn't have an annoucement planned for Monday before this they sure have now or are working on it at least.

OMG that is just hateful and mean. You actually presume to judge the quality of B. Max's marriage by what he posts on this board? A little perspetive ... please.

Let's actually take a look at how much the Conservative Party of Canada 'aligns' itself with US Republicans. US Republicans generally favour capital punishment. The CPC doesn't and has made no mention of legislating on the matter. US Republicans are generally pro-life. The CPC is split on the issue and has made no mention of legislation on the matter. US Republicans are strongly in the NRA life. The CPC got rid of the wasteful gun registry *but* they have still kept the ban on automatic rifles and the need to acquire a Firearm Acquisitions Certificate before buying a gun. Both of those would make them a target of the NRA. Harper could only win a nomination at any level as a Republican in a handful of blue states (i.e. Democratic leaning) with the policies he ran on and the way in which he has been running the government. It is convenient for the LPC to say the CPC is aligning itself with the religious right but it really isn't even close to the truth.

Evidence about this ongoing tirade? Sorry for not taking your beliefs as "self-evident". Was it ok for me to ask a question about jdobbin's evidence of Harper swithcing parties repeatedly?

So you support strong women? A woman who supports the Conservatives has a tendency to be led by her huband/father. So you support any woman who does not support the Conservatives. Now that is a principled stand!

bravo There was only one person here swearing...
