Link Thats a shocking result, I mean, they set up a voting booth and invite their compatriots down there to vote. I doubt if anyone that is mature enough to know anything about our system just didn't bother wasting their time with a useless protest. He's not stepping down. Give up. No one broke any laws, you elected him. He's now better representing you in cabinet. I really wish these Vancouverites would see how absolutely stupid they are for asking their only representation to step aside to make way for a useless member of the NDP. Blind partisanship is what it is. Emerson hasn't changed any views, yet it was great when he was a Liberal and not good as a Conservative. Shows ignorance on their part. Oh well, you didn't do your research, and found out he was always quite a conservative that could sit comfortably on either side of the house. Now you have to deal with it until next election. If the man was a socalist and all of a sudden became a fascist, maybe I could see a point. But he will not change how he'll vote on any issue because of the switch. Your claims are unjustified Vancouver-Kingsway, you sound like a bunch of ignorant fools. Enjoy a couple years of having a Conservative MP.

Leafless Posted March 5, 2006 Report Posted March 5, 2006 stignasty This is more serious than I thought. Out of 900 hundred people 855 are el-whacko Liberals who think they have copyright protection and legal ownership concerning the life of Mr. Emerson. Quote

Riverwind Posted March 5, 2006 Report Posted March 5, 2006 Out of 900 hundred people 855 are el-whacko Liberals who think they have copyright protection and legal ownership concerning the life of Mr. Emerson.Actually, I think all 855 are actually opportunistic NDP supporters who see the bi-election as a chance to get one more NDP MP elected. Most centrist Liberals recognize that forcing a bi-election now would just hand a seat to the NDP which is a worse evil than having a former Liberal as CPC cabinet minister.

I knew the Liberals were smarter than that! And to Shakeyhands, yes I agree they are. But remember Belinda had no credentials in public office, she was just a hired vote. Emerson is a leading former minister and had experience, something the CPC could actually use to the benifet of the country.

You sentiments were echoed twice. Funny eh. Belinda Stronach was bribed (she wasn't a member in Harper's cabinet) to prevent the Liberals losing the non-confidence vote. Funny eh, indeed. I have no comment on Mr Fancy Pants Scott Brison.

Montgomery Burns Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 What is it with liberals and their "mock trials? Obviously this was a cooked "byelection" full of liberals. Most conservatives don't waste their time on "mock byelections". Recall the childish stunt the Democrats did when they had a mock trial--in the House--about whether Bush should be impeached. You see these clowns protesting with paper mache puppets, protest signs comparing Bush to Hitler, calling for the destruction of Israel, and props like flag-draped coffins when they protest in front of Walter Reed military hospital. Thank God the grownups are in charge of Canada and the US.
