Goldie Posted June 12, 2004 Report Posted June 12, 2004 Isn't this the same freak that stood up at the PC (P.....Progressive) Party leadership and said, "Blah, Gays, Blah, shouldn't marry, Blah. Elsie Wayne I love you, Blah. Thank God a moderate from the Alliance shuts these guys up. Hey, we are becoming more like the Liberals and poof...123 seats. August1991 Quote
August1991 Posted June 12, 2004 Report Posted June 12, 2004 On Newsnet's Countdown with Mike Duffy on Friday, Chandler was told by panelist John Tory that if he really wanted to help Conservatives get elected, he should stick to core issues like taxes and government integrity. Deputy Conservative leader Peter MacKay was asked by host Mike Duffy if people like Chandler were hurting his party's campaign. "That's the first time I heard it is when I tuned in with you tonight," he said. That's not what was implied by jordan above. To do this, Herle and the Liberal war room are living on about 3 or 4 hours sleep. They have absolutely no life. At most, they get adrenalin and campaign sex. Why are they doing this? They should have done a Clinton and run on the economy, stupid. But my "why" question is deeper than that. Quote

What's happening is the press is actively seeking out comments from them - and only them - on controversial social issues. The press is looking for any comment they can then splash across a newspaper to show how "extreme" the Conservative Party is. Do you see anyone portraying Paul Martin's suggestion that women who are seeking abortions get councilling as extreme? Do you even see any commentary on it in the media? Do you see Liberal and BQ and NDP candidates besieged by questions about their stand on abortion? How about someone go and ask Mona Mazigh, the NDP's chador wearing candidate in Ottawa South how she feels about abortion and gay rights? Hmm? Why aren't we seeing the press stuffing microphones in the face of Des McGrath, the retired Catholic Priest running for the NDP who has said he would vote against abortion, and was opposed to same-sex marriage? How come we aren't seeing very vocal anti abortionists from the Liberal party like Dennis Wappel or Roger Gallaway being asked for their comments? With scandalized headlines to follow? This is a big, sly scaremongering attempt by the Liberals, aided by the NDP and their friends in the media.

Michael Hardner Posted June 12, 2004 Report Posted June 12, 2004 The Conservative candidates are not exactly shouting to the rooftops on social issues. What's happening is the press is actively seeking out comments from them - and only them - on controversial social issues. The press is looking for any comment they can then splash across a newspaper to show how "extreme" the Conservative Party is. This is entirely appropriate, given that their party policy states that they will be voting independently on these issues. Do you see anyone portraying Paul Martin's suggestion that women who are seeking abortions get councilling as extreme? Do you even see any commentary on it in the media?

How come we aren't seeing very vocal anti abortionists from the Liberal party like Dennis Wappel or Roger Gallaway being asked for their comments? With scandalized headlines to follow? This is a practical matter. The CPC's stance on social issues is the story. Martin has his own similar set of problems. This is a big, sly scaremongering attempt by the Liberals, aided by the NDP and their friends in the media. I don't think their friends in the media have been doing a good job of portraying Martin as a winner. Instead, the Liberal story is their floundering and impending defeat. That's the worst story that could befall the Liberals, too. Quote Click to learn why Climate Change is caused by HUMANS Michael Hardner
Goldie Posted June 12, 2004 Report Posted June 12, 2004 WOW! Another gotcha by the CBC. Tories to blend RCMP, CSIS: documentAn internal party document obtained by the French-language service of CBC shows the Conservatives want to set up a U.S.-style national intelligence agency blending the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and the RCMP I just love how they spice this up to make it sound like they have uncovered the hidden agenda.

takeanumber Posted June 12, 2004 Report Posted June 12, 2004 How democratic. Seriously. Let's hear about their extreme views. It's pretty clear they're anti-gay and anti-woman. I want to hear about their anti-aboriginal, anti-Maritime, and anti-immigrant policies too. I also want to hear their position on eugenics and priest abuse. I'd also like to get their take on religious activism. Seriously! Let's hear it! Quote

Would this be like a super state police agency? A conservative version of the KGB? Quote
takeanumber Posted June 12, 2004 Report Posted June 12, 2004 I'd like to hear more about how he feels about torture, too. Should be a great listen. I'd like to hear more about his explanation about what "Shoulder to Shoulder" in Iraq. Seriously. Why isn't he talking? Quote
