WWWTT Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Nope that's not what I said. What I said is that the Ford brothers should not be paying for councillor and mayor expences. If I have the opportunity (perhaps at the next Chinese NDP social) I will ask Olivia's view. WWWTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really need to try thinking this stuff through before you post. That aside, I've pointed out the difficulties inherent in critiquing Ford's policies: there's nothing there to critique. All we have to work with is the bumblefuck stuff he keeps blundering into on his own accord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick to substance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWTT Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Actually Shady,being overweight is considered an disability. And since Ford is overweight (you got to be kidding me if you disagree),Ford can be considered an affirmative action Mayor! So that would mean that Ford was only elected mayor because he is fat. But that would not be logical because affirmative action is only in reference to hiring practices by an employer.So therefore I would never call/accuse an elected official of being elected through affirmative action See what I just did there Shady?

WWWTT See what you did there? You mean not make any sense? Like I said, the reason I refer to Obama as the first affirmative action president is because of the lesser standard the press holds him to, as oppose to past presidents. Rob Ford on the otherhand, gets held responsible for everything. So the situations aren't even close to comparable. If Ford sneezes it's a month long news story. If Obama sneezes, the press asks which Republican made him sneeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not being genuine the press drummed up support for Bush's war based on lies base solely on his "just trust me" bs. Lets all get serious the reason why Shady calls Obama the AA president is that he never wants us to forget what race Obama is because his reason given here makes no sense when we remember the press handling of Bush and his war in 2003.

If Obama sneezes, the press asks which Republican made him sneeze. Actually,affirmative action has nothing to do with the elimination/reduction of standards. But you always seem fixated to imply to everyone that because he is half African,then he is not as smart/responsible/good judge of character/articulate as if a white person would be. Rob Ford pretty much gets what he deserves because him and his brother stick their neck out and try to fool everyone,like paying for councilor and mayor expenses out of their own pocket! There are lots of conservatives that don't stick their neck out like Rob Ford or Doug,so those conservatives are harder to criticize. But not the Ford brothers,their the gift that keeps giving!

WWWTT Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Oh why again Ford?Why again? This guy is starting to become the political broken record of the 21 century! He has pretty much buried his political future in a bottle now and rehab is his only recourse now. Here's the dirt from the Toronto Star Garrison Ball is an annual dinner,attended by 800 soldiers, sailors, airforce personnel and civilians.The ball raised money for the well known Wounded Warriors charity.Billed as an evening of “pageantry and camaraderie,” the dinner was heldon Saturday, Feb. 23, at the Liberty Grand near Toronto’s waterfront. Guests at the event included Minister of National Defence PeterMacKay, Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Tom Lawson, and Vice-Admiral PaulMaddison, the commander of the Royal Canadian Navy. Ford arrived late to the cocktail and dinner event. He was speaking ina rambling, incoherent manner that alarmed some of the guests,according to organizers, military reservists and a prominent Ottawaconservative who were interviewed for this story. Toronto CouncillorPaul Ainslie, a strong Ford ally, confirmed to the Star that Ford wasasked to leave. If anyone here wants to defend Ford now,I urge you to think twice! Ford needs to step down immediately and seek help,put the political ambitions away,consider the importance of the Toronto citizens and his own health.

WWWTT Right The Star had never made up stuff about the mayor before. Wait they do! Heard Douglas Holloway on the radio regarding this issue. He was pretty pissed. Apparently there are only "unnamed sources" that verify these. claims of alcoholism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
