Ladies and Gentlemen... The Conservative Party of Canada.

I chuckled. Although I agree with you that the Promise bit was unnecessary I found it oddly humourous. I'm sure his opinion was screw them for putting us all through this. Right or wrong, its really between them.

I listen to AM640 occasionally, I would say that they are right of center on most issues. In fact I believe it was Andrew Krystal that got fired after asking Stephen Harper some 'difficult' questions prior to the last general election, he actually made Harper look like an idiot, so much so in fact that Harper cut out after only 3 or 4 minutes.

Without the picture, some just cannot understand the true cost of the war. So let me ask you this. Your loved one, say your ten year old daughter, is run over by a freight train. You don't have a problem with her mangled remains being shown in graphic, gruesome detail in all the newspapers, on TV, on web sites, etc. Because, after all, that would show the true cost of having level crossings. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Theres a big difference Argus and that was a poor analogy.

Kimmy, are you finished "Oh, The Places You'll Go! " yet and if you are can I borrow it?

Bollocks and regardless.. if the populous of the US saw these types of images, there would be hell to pay and it would be like Viet Nam all over again with the protests against the Gov't. If the American people saw these they wouldn't be quite so gung ho and wouldn't that be a problem for George. There is a cost and boy is it steep. Hiding these type pictures are as bad as lying to the face of the American people.

Shouldn't the Conservatives just let this die? They have gained nothing from beating the rented mule, in fact I believe this has all actually hurt them badly.... why carry on? You would think a strong leader would have nipped this when it started to go south. This only serves (both the attacks trying to catch her off her guard and the Law Society ploy) to make the Conservatives look even more petty in my view. http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentSe...ol=968350116467

Well, you've heard it on this forum, you've heard it in the news, now there is a poll that echoes the sentiments..(mind you, I have only seen you use the 'equals sign'). Have you a point or a rebuttal? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm at a loss. I think the poll and the comments speak for themselves. How can I argue with irrational opinions except to respond with my own rational opinion. That opinion would be that those who would compare the US (Bush) with AlQueda (OBL) are either clueless and or willfully ignorant. But I don't want to degenerate this thread into the same old Bush bashing tantrums. The point of the poll was to support the premise that Canadians are fed, and eat up, anti-Americanism. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So again, please remind us, seeing as though the 'Left Wing Media" doesn't, what it is exactly that the US is doing to garner our unconditional support and allegiance? It one thing to point out how evil us Canucks are in our staunch anti Americanism, quite another to support some arguments as to why we should or shouldn't have these opinions... ?

I'd have to agree with BlackDog here. I don't see any harm whatsoever in letting the public see that its not a clean, faceless war... The US GOP is hiding an awful lot from their public.

Exactly... Great post Fortunata. Some will support the US no matter what, its nice to see an honest post as to why you'd be inclined not to.... Beef, Softwood, Wheat, Foreign Policy, WTO, UN etc etc... the list goes on and on.

And don't rule out the possiblity of a big upswing in Western Separation talk. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yawn......

What difference does it make now? Why mention it now? Because Belinda.ca's character has been a hotly debated subject since her defection. -k <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe, but in what possible way does this reflect on her character? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> better asked How does this reflect poorly on her character? from what I have been able to read on the subject it shows her in a positive light. Perhaps they are asserting that she isn't enough of a jerk to be a Conservative? Seems to me it proves her as someone who cares about others, surely a Liberal.

TheLiberal makes a decent point Argus... Obviously the Conservatives are trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill and attempt to further denegrate Stronach and her decision to leave. The campaign donation is a non issue being made into something... like TheLiberal says, even if it were true.. what difference does it make now and what need to trot it out?

exactly what I said last night when I read that post....

slam.... goes the door as we collectively go to our rooms for a well deserved time out. Glad yer back Skipper!

Na na na na... na na na na.. heeey hey hey... goooood bye!!!!! I can hardly believe that he has lasted this long... Unfortunately I think it is bye bye Gurmant. too bad really, this was getting really interesting. Anyone wnat to wager that he ius still criminally prosecuted?

Interesting how it all works sometimes. I still think Grewal is full of it though.... People tend to forget that we voted in a minority and in order to get things done there needs to be some negotiation and give and take.

You think? I think it might be a good idea! It would certainly reduce the number of head injuries that we are all forced to pay because someone doesn't think its cool to wear a helmet. Just a thought.

Let me know when the FEDERAL government drops millions upon millions of dolalrs into Calgary's transit ssytem. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Can't Klein give some of the excess dollars Alberta has? Do you require Federal assistance? Are you home to the largest city in Canada who because of various reasons has a transit system that needs assistance?

As opposed to the Liberal high ground of doing anything to stay in power? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You know, I have heard this claim over and over.. what exactly is it that the Liberals have done to "cling to power"? So far lets look at the facts: They dolled back out some tax dollars for significant causes across the poorer areas and those that contribute the most They welcomed a CPC MP that had no business belonging to said party They exposed (albeit backwards, shows you how stupid Grewal is) another that would do anything to avoid a closer look at his dealings and demanded positions for he and his wife. Doesn't sound too bad to me?

What is your definition of freedom MA? I would think that many are as "free" including Canada, the UK, Mexico, Germany, Spain... I could go on. But I think this hinges on your definition of 'freedom'.. can you expound?

Not so sure now are we? With obvious gaps in the tapes its clearer than ever how slimy Grewal is... Not to mention his party leader who is backing him up to the hilt.. What does the CPC have to do with the doctoring of the tapes?????? Shame

Ohhhhh that makes it ok then. Obviously some one is practicing what they are preaching... Hmmm

I'm amazed at how the talking heads on Fox are attacking him... O'Reilly Gibson Hume and Asman All negative articles about him

Oh dear.... http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentSe...72154&t=TS_Home Where is the Tory credibility now? This does not look good on Grewal, Harper or the party.. Harper should probably be wearing rubber boots whilst dealing with his MP's....
