Peter MacKay's broken heart

[The Terrible Sweal]

Have your say.

[Newfie Canadian]

I'm not really sure.

It may have been contrived to give the whole issue a more personal and softer look than was given by other members of the CPC. Some or part or maybe even most of it I assume was genuine.

Then again, what is truly honest about politics and politicians?

[Technocrat]

at least HE didn't call her a whore

[ScottBrison]

Hey, I feel for the guy He's a human being and he got his heart broken in front of the whole country. I've had mine broken in front of 3 people and that was devestating. I don't know how anyone could deal with what he's going though.

That being said it wouldn't make me vote for him, or his party.

I think it was genuine, but you're right it would be a good strategic move. Nothing like a good victim of a rich and powerful individual to tug at the heart strings of bleeding heart Canadians. The problem lies in the fact that she's now a Liberal, and can do no wrong in the eyes of Ontarians.

I don't see that as a problem, well for the CONs maybe.

muahahahahahahaaaa

Did you hold a press conference the next day to cash in on your pain? Didn't think so...

Edited to add: the guy is probably legitimatly upset, probably even devestated. but to call a news crew to the potato patch to cash in on it is, frankly, pathetic.

Do you have proof that he called them? Or did they show up? CBC is good at that...just showing up....

Whatever!

How about you add an option "who gives a sh!t" :angry:

[I Miss Trudeau]

Fair enough. But he could have told them to piss off. And he could have asked his dad to not go discuss his public humiliation in front of a camera. He didn't do either. What are we to conclude?

[Fortunata]

Poor, poor Peter.

NOT

I wonder if he now knows what the real Tories felt like when he crossed over to the dark side and struck his deal with the devil.

[cybercoma]

I'm going with PATHETIC on this one. Romps in the sack have no place in politics; frankly, I don't want to hear about it, nor do I want to see him sobbing like a baby in the media in the wake of a difficult breakup.

[RB]

mmm I have always wondered about this "sleeping your way to the top" meaning.

I think ladies are always complex Peter - and bolting from the male lives just like that is a way to be successful only the women never recognise it should be sooner

[The Terrible Sweal]

I'm curious why it is necessary that their relationship end just because they are members of different parties.

Surely mature people who respect eachother's views could maintain a relationship if it was based on genuine and significant affection.

[I miss Reagan]

I'm curious why it is necessary that their relationship end just because they are members of different parties.

Probably because she totally betrayed him and the party at the time when she mattered most. She calls him at midnight a few hours before, after she has told Paul Martin and her other friends. Obviously he didn't matter to her all that much. I think she used him for publicity, perhaps even to get some inside information before defecting. She's a pretty selfish person.

[RB]

are you kidding me, no person should suffer the indignity of maintenance of affection even the romp sorts when the exploit is over

Peter most males suffer 8 heartaches in a lifetime

How did she betray him? Did he own her vote?

[I miss Reagan]

Ok here we go with the equivocation , the arguing over the literal meaning of words etc. Right? "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"

Give me a break Sweal, you know if you were in a similar situation and your significant other made a huge decision and decided to confide in everyone but you, you'd feel pretty betrayed. I have no doubt that people can have differing political views and maintain their relationships. James Carville, a liberal democrat, and his wife, a hardcore republican, are perfect examples. But belinda stabbed him in the back admit it.

... you know if you were in a similar situation and your significant other made a huge decision and decided to confide in everyone but you, you'd feel pretty betrayed.

But that is not what happened. The story is they spoke at length about the move before her dinner with Martin. Then she told him her decision right after the meeting. These are the facts. Admit it.

belinda stronach may be hot but that gives her no right to go and betray her party. she is a whore and a slut. it is quiet obvious that she crossed the floor soley for political gain. as for p. makay i like the guy and i feel for him but at the same time it was a good political move no matter how hurt he was.

I love guys like you - you make it so easy to deafeat the Conservatives, and you are a perfect example of why we will not be electing a Conservative government anytime soon.

Please keep it up

[bigdude]

This is the best possible thing that could have happened to MacKay after he stabbed Orchard in the back.

What goes around, comes around!

[The Terrible Sweal]

What an imbecilic comment. Hot or not, ANYone has the right to leave a political party.

she is a whore and a slut.

Prove it.

it is quiet obvious that she crossed the floor soley for political gain.

Why should anypne take your word on this???

[willy]

Here I will come to Belinda’s support. She is not a whore and I don't know if she is a slut. (Bill Clinton/no)

She is unloyal, not that bright and self involved to a dangerous level. Good luck to the Liberals, they can have her.

[cybercoma]

lol willy.

Well she did have "lunch" with Bill Clinton!

OH SNAP!!!11oneone!
