Hydraboss Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) I just ended up in a live teleconference with my CPC MP (kinda cool). Since this is Alberta, he's a shoe in. Anybody want me to ask him a question?

Hydraboss Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) Haven't seen hide nor hair from this guy since the last election. He's getting raked over the coals right now. Ha! Probably 75% NDP callers right now.

Hydraboss Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) So now they're doing an interactive poll during this "townhall". Will give results in about 5 minutes. Quite the interesting approach. Been a couple of what I would call staged questions, but most have been really uncomfortable for the guy. Just got his ass handed to him on F-35's. Sticking to his guns though. (pun intended) poll results (611 responses) top priority in this election 36% economy and jobs 34% health care 11% safe communities 4% environment 15% deficit spending "Thank you SoandSo. That's a very good question." -- No shit Sherlock. God I hate that saying. What else is he going to say? "That's about the dumbest thing I've ever been asked!" Second poll How do you get your political news? 54% TV 11% radio 20% newspaper 12% online 3% personal contact with MP Edited April 21, 2011 by Hydraboss Quote "racist, intolerant, small-minded bigot" - AND APPARENTLY A SOCIALIST (2010) (2015)Economic Left/Right: 8.38 3.38 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 3.13 -1.23
Hydraboss Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) The moron just blamed Peter Milliken for the gong show in the House. Said he should have kept order better. Bad move. Man, I hate this guy. Third and last poll question: Which political party do you support? 89% CPC with Stephen Harper 4% Liberal with Michael Ignatieff 6% NDP with Jack Layton (this is where I voted) 1% Green Party with Mary May (ha! had to correct himself) Do ya think that I MAY have been selected for this call, or do ya think it's random(????) Just got asked when the CPC will start defending Alberta and it's energy industry in Ottawa. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Equalization is at unfair level. "It's a valid point." Really no answer. Big surprise.

Smallc Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 I never liked him. He always seemed far too arrogant and full of himself. Quote
Hydraboss Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Posted April 21, 2011 Oh well, it beats the typical voice recording that usually calls my house.

Hydraboss Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Posted April 21, 2011 I never liked him. He always seemed far too arrogant and full of himself. You and me both. Spends his time in Edmonton (bigger population) and never comes out to us "country bumpkins". And yet we continue to deliver him to Ottawa. If I manage to get my question on, it's gonna be a little uncomfortable for short-stuff.

Hydraboss Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) So, there's apparently 9000 people on the call. And yet only 611 voted in the first poll question? Kinda fishy. Nope, never got a chance to ask him anything.
