scribblet Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 How many mainstream Canadians watch Question Period? Other than gleaning the headlines, how many mainstream Canadians read political news? Nuff said. Right, many of them only read the misleading headlines, then if they do read further they buy into the hype and speculation. To hell with facts...

capricorn Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 DUCK!!!!! Served with a side order of crow. It was just on the weekend that Mr. Rae was accusing the Conservatives of “Nixonian” tactics. How ironic — one of the main ways Tricky Dick liked to play rough was by gathering sensitive information about his political opponents. Vikileaks would have made Nixon proud. http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2012/02/27/matt-gurney-liberal-involvement-in-vikileaks-a-godsend-for-reeling-tories/ Quote "We always want the best man to win an election.

cybercoma Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 the Liberals and NDP play that particular card all the time.Here's that argument again. Quote
Bryan Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 Its gutter politics that started this because it all started when Toews accused Canadians of siding with child pornographers No he didn't, stop lying. Quote
cybercoma Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 No he didn't, stop lying. Everyone that opposes Bill C-30 sides with child pornographers (according to Toews) There are Canadians that oppose Bill C-30 Ergo, Toews said that Canadians side with child pornographers. Quote
mentalfloss Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 Rae handled this superbly. He will get brownie points from the media when they compare this to Harper's cowardice re: taking any responsibility for the Robocall thing. Quote
punked Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Warren Kensella is asking why more heads aren't rolling over this one for all those acting like Rae has done everything he can. He makes a point to, does everyone here think that staffer flew to Manitoba to get the court papers all by himself or are we going to take off our blinders and see there is more here then one staffer? I mean honestly the guy says sorry and we are ok with it? Is that all we want from Harper? Lets hold both these guys to the same standard people. Edited February 28, 2012 by punked Quote

UofGPolitico Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 Rae looked like he was in pain getting that apology out in QP today. Of all days for this to happen, it couldn't have happened on a worst day for liberals when they are trying to keep the Con's heads to the fire over ethics (re: robocalls). Every newscast led with the Liberal story tonight, not robocalls. Quote

This likely won't stay in the media long with the robocall scandal. I'd doubt it will get much, if any, play by tomorrow. There's really not enough to this story for it to be sustained for any real length of time. Meanwhile robogate keeps on getting more interesting.

olpfan1 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 Spiderfish none of that comes remotely close to saying canadians side with child pornographers not even in the same ball park Quote

punked Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 Court documents from Vik Towes' divorce hearing were likely accessible online. Not how Manitoba documents work Newfoundlander. I wonder why we accept Rae's answer so easily if Harper tired to pull this crap we would flip (and rightfully so). We are being hypocrites just accepting this low level staffer was the only involved.

Topaz Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 What does that have to do with any of the legislation in question? What does it have to do with the pros and the cons of this particular legislation? Nothing. Sorry Shady, but it does, he shows us what kind of character and personality the MP has. Vic was also found guilty of over spending on elections in Manitoba, sound familiar? By cheating on his wife he went against his own religion and this guy wanted to be a judge??? Quote

Again throwing one guy under the bus with out actually getting to the bottom of the issue is just what Harper does. Why are we letting Rae off so easily? Because he is on our team. Great now we have to explain why we want to get to the bottom of one issue and are ok with letting this one go, getting those papers involved more then one low level staffer, it might have involved the whole Liberal research office.

Topaz Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 AS far as what the Liberal staff worker did, it was wrong, and he went too far with the personal threats BUT I think that Canadians who watch QP can understand why he did it but Canadians will NEVER understand some party cheating THEM at the polling stations which is very illegal and morally wrong!

I agree personally I think the Liberals did what they had to do, not to actually stop the bill but to actually get the media and Canadians involved. However pretending it was one staffer and saying "Bob Rae is a saint for this" is crazy. He handled this problem JUST LIKE Harper. He threw one low level guy under the bus. If you think this staffer got a hold of these documents all on there own and did not get approval somewhere up the ladder you are fooling yourself. I think we should demand the same out of Left as we do out of the Right. Rae handled this just like Harper handling the Robo calls he found a low level fall guy who makes 40-50 grand a year, threw him under the bus and started making calls to get him a new job so he keeps quite. Welcome to politics. So lets demand the same from the Liberals as we do the Conservatives and ask how far up the chain did this go? Quote
