Alta4ever Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Ohhhh and cut NAFTA they ran on that too right? Thats right, the liberals need to go, canada needs a conservative party and a labour party. Quote "What about the legitimacy of the democratic process, yeah, what about it?"

jdobbin Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 What does that even mean? You do know the NDP governments balance budgets 22% of the time MORE then Liberal governments right? We have always been a pragmatic party. You spend the money you have, we just chose butter over guns it has always been that simple. How many balanced budget have the federal NDP managed? Quote
jdobbin Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Thats right, the liberals need to go, canada needs a conservative party and a labour party. Maybe your party can make a law restricting other parties. Quote
punked Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 How many balanced budget have the federal NDP managed? How many has Iggy? Quote
Alta4ever Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Maybe your party can make a law restricting other parties. don't need to, the liberal party will end itself here as it did in Britian.

punked Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 don't need to, the liberal party will end itself here as it did in Britian. Or as it did in Sask, Manitoba, and Alberta. Quote
jdobbin Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 How many has Iggy? How many as Layton? Quote
jdobbin Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 don't need to, the liberal party will end itself here as it did in Britian. I guess if you have to dream, dream big. Quote
punked Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 How many as Layton? As many as your man. No wait Layton Helped Martin write one before that government fell so more then Iggy. Ouch you walked into that one eh? Quote
punked Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 I guess if you have to dream, dream big. 3 provinces down, and really in Alberta the Liberals are the Conservatives so more then 3. Quote
jdobbin Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Or as it did in Sask, Manitoba, and Alberta. Alberta? Where the Liberals are Official Opposition? Quote
jdobbin Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 As many as your man. No wait Layton Helped Martin write one before that government fell so more then Iggy. Ouch you walked into that one eh? Sorry. That is like saying the Liberals balanced budgets under the Tories for 2 years. Doesn't exactly cut it. Quote
punked Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Alberta? Where the Liberals are Official Opposition? Lets face it there is one party on Alberta. There is no NDP there either. Although the NDP has been a presence in the Alberta government going back to the 60's while the Liberals only started winning seats in the late 80's. Quote
punked Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Sorry. That is like saying the Liberals balanced budgets under the Tories for 2 years. Doesn't exactly cut it. I think you guys just didn't show up for those votes budgets and let them slip through. Harper didn't let you guys in the room. Unlike when Jack wrote a fair proportion of that Budget. Sorry Jack 1 Iggy 0. Why would we go with such an untested party in these bad times. Quote

Why would the NDP vote against the Liberals knowing that the it would put the Tories in power? Or were so convinced of victory for yourselves as governess? Quote
punked Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Why would the NDP vote against the Liberals knowing that the it would put the Tories in power? Or were so convinced of victory for yourselves as governess? Last time I checked it was you guys voting for the Conservative agenda not us. Quote
jdobbin Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Last time I checked it was you guys voting for the Conservative agenda not us. In 2006, it was your vote that brought the Liberals down and led to the Tories in power. Quote
punked Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 In 2006, it was your vote that brought the Liberals down and led to the Tories in power. Sorry we don't support a Party who goes against our morals because we are scared of the Boogy man. The Conservatives haven't done anything with out the Liberals approval so it wasn't a change in direction at all. Quote
punked Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 The Toronto Star a paper which is always talking about how great the Liberals are is turning on Iggy. Since Ignatieff took command in December, it has been hard to figure out what the Liberals stand for, how they would govern the country or whether they have workable alternatives.Ignatieff may believe – or his strategists may have convinced him – that it is tactically smart to withhold his platform until an election is imminent. But the former Harvard professor is paying a price. His party is stalled in the polls. Voters have doubts about his ability to manage the economy. He is acquiring a reputation as a leader who is more comfortable deliberating than providing a sense of direction. Liberal MPs are also paying a price. Most have avoided the limelight since Parliament closed, not knowing what they're supposed to say. This makes it look as if they have few ideas or concerns. It would be interesting to hear what Ignatieff has come up with after spending half the summer wrestling with the nation's challenges. What, for example, are his guiding principles? The Liberal leader has issued a steady stream of press releases, accusing the government of neglecting the unemployed, failing to protect Canadian-developed technology, pulling the plug on Canadian isotope production, ignoring the concerns of rural Canadians and dragging its feet on global warming. But this running commentary is headline-driven. It indicates nothing about Ignatieff's priorities or values. Is there any Conservative policy he finds so wrong he would be compelled to oppose it, whatever the risk? http://www.thestar.com/comment/article/674959 Ouch Quote
Smallc Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Wow, a left winger accusing the Star of bias. Seems to me the Star is showing that it isn't any more biased than any other source. Quote

You'll have to make up your mind. Quote

punked Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Seems to me that you did want to support a party that went against your morals. You'll have to make up your mind. Well if the Conservatives and Liberals were different that might be true Dobbin but I haven't seen any major changes take place, and I have seen the Liberal support them 79 straight times over the last year.

Yeah it happens to be the reason we haven't had an election. Quote

And yet your party was prepared to support the Liberals as government. Quote
