I figured out what's happening with the CPC

So if only we'd been paying attention, we'd all agree with your assesment, Gerry?

Absolutely. If you're an honest person, and you look at what Frank Luntz told them to do and what they're doing...you would not deny it.

It's obvious.

So if only we'd been paying attention, we'd all agree with your assesment, Gerry? Isn't that a little arrogant? You liberals are all the same. The Tories will start standing on their own record when they have one about the time of the next election. Until then, they will keep firing away at the Liberals. Why not, when the Liberals have given everyone so much ammo.

Especially since I'm quite sure that INAC, the gun registry, and a whole host of programs I can't even think of, as well as the "sponsorship program" must be fertile sources of LPOC patronage and corruption.

It is natural to expect that any program where there is no clear definition of "success" elnds itself to corruption. For sponsorship, for example, there was no way for the public to determine if the incentives to make Quebec more "Canadian" were working or not. So there was no way of monitoring even the "substance" of the program, netting out the obvious graft. Ditto INAC. There is no way to know if the natives are any better off when money is shoveled in, so if some goes missing, no one notices. Same with the gun registry.

By creating and/or mis-administering huge, expensive programs the Lieberals have left themselves wide open. Did they really expect that the attacks would stop when CPC techies could get into the computers and see how the Canadian taxpayer was really being raped?

Lets cool the condescending talk in this thread or I'll close it.

Your post is quite ironic given the instruction of Frank Luntz to the CPC to keep bashing the Liberals.

Are you a member of the CPC?

I don't mind politics being played...but it would be nice to see some mature governance as well. It appears like the CPC is following a policy of strategic behaviour to secure a majority.

I suspect it will backfire...Canadians aren't as stupid as Frank Luntz seems to think they are.
