takeanumber Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 As much as the media tried to demonize Layton (and clearly, they were trying), I think that he was partially on the money. But, I agree with Bradshaw that he was standing upon all those corpses to elevate himself. Let's face it: The Commonsense Revolution and the Deficit War were fought on the backs of the poorest of the poor. I'm not going to make a value judgement as to whether or not it was right that the war was fought the way that it was--it just was. Maybe Martin deserves a share of the blame for HOW the war was fought. Quote
