Ricki Bobbi Posted September 28, 2006 Report Posted September 28, 2006 The Conservative leadership isn't exactly ancient history. We're talking 2 years ago.The Alliance sleaze was well documented with splits in the party, charges of racism made by party members, party memberships being stripped. This was three years ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Pankiw http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Alliance Volpe sold memberships to dead people and had children donating *thousands* of dollars to his campaign. Good use of wikipedia as a source? Did you *update* the pages before posting links? Uhh, I never said it wasn't from 13 years ago. Someone said the liberal ads from last election were worse than the chretien face ads, and I disagreed. Read the post that I was quoting and you'll understand my response. Fair enough.

betsy Posted September 28, 2006 Author Report Posted September 28, 2006 Since we're digging up bones...how about this? Remember Carolyn Parrish and the way she trampled the US flag on TV? My friend said: She's like "trailer trash!" That's the image she projected. Before her was another woman who said something quite sleazy too coming from a Parliament member. I mean, these behaviours one would expect from someone frequenting a dive! It makes you want to scratch your head and wonder how the bar got down so low. And they didn't get reprimanded or penalized. Why would they? It even seemed that the whole Liberal Party was just looking on with bemused paternal pride. Not too long ago before that, our PM Chretien was given an unflattering photo-op featured on all front pages probably all over the world, when he behaved like a thug collaring a protester. Incidentally, Ray Heard (Dir. of Communications for John Turner) from MDuffy had mentioned the very word "thug"...saying, "Martin had his thugs hammering at Sheila Copps". He was referring to the in-fighting due to division of loyalties in the Liberal Party. Quote

My point is that there has been sleazy things going in politics as long as there has been politics. The Conservatives have no brass ring to holiness. Quote

My point is that there has been sleazy things going in politics as long as there has been politics. The Conservatives have no brass ring to holiness. But the upper ranks of the party has changed in the last 13 years. Can't really say that about the upper ranks of the Liberal Party of Canada. As the person who started the tit for tat, you gotta realize the Liberals have so much sleaze on them from their 13 years in office they need a little more than an eight month timeout. Did the PCs do some underhanded stuff during their nine years in power? Sure. But they were forced to sit in the sidelines for more than a decade.

watching&waiting Posted September 28, 2006 Report Posted September 28, 2006 I will agree that all parties have had their astonishing moments with incredibly stupid behaviour, but I am still pretty much amazed at the fact that the Liberal can not even go about chosing a leader without showing the world just how morally corupt they are. You would think they would really try to show that a change for the good was being done, instead they show us that the present leadship hopefuls are even worst then the last two leaders could ever hope to be. I am pretty sure that the top liberals know they are going to be inopposition for a few terms, but one would think that they would at least try to appear better, cleaner or at least less corrupt.

betsy Posted September 29, 2006 Author Report Posted September 29, 2006 Latest Buzz on MDuffy.... There was a judgement against Volpe's campaign! There is a fine. If he doesn't pay, he is out of the race. What happened to getting disqualified???? Oh dear.....the host of the show said the obvious: "the Liberal's "boogeyman" is all about money issues. Quote
watching&waiting Posted September 29, 2006 Report Posted September 29, 2006 Surprise, surprise, you mean Volpe would ever do anythign wrong with party finances? Oh the hurt, I am crushed Quote
scribblet Posted September 29, 2006 Report Posted September 29, 2006 He has 30 days to pay a fine of $20,000 to the Liberal Party, or he is disqualified so what does Volpe say: hmmmm I think he's done like dinner. Press Release Statement from Volpe campaign. September 29, 2006, Ottawa- The Honourable Joseph Volpe, Member of Parliament for Eglinton – Lawrence and Liberal leadership candidate released the following statement in regards to the decision handed down today by a compliance panel of the Liberal Party of Canada in regard to issues surrounding membership recruitment in Quebec. The compliance panel seriously misconstrued the evidence before it as well as submissions and recommendations of the compliance officer and testimony of other witnesses. “It should be noted that the panel found no evidence to suggest that Mr. Volpe or his senior campaign workers had actual knowledge of the wrongful purchase of memberships.” Liberal Party Press release “The press release issued today by the Liberal Party prior to the compliance panels official report on Monday as well as the haste to proceed without due process seems designed to inflict as much damage as possible to my campaign immediately prior to the delegate selection meetings” Volpe added. We will be mounting a vigorous appeal to the permanent appeals committee of the Liberal Party of Canada. -30- Quote Hey Ho - Ontario Liberals Have to Go - Fight Wynne - save our province
betsy Posted September 30, 2006 Author Report Posted September 30, 2006 WHERE DID THE MONEY GO? Where's the rest of the money that was supposed to be for the environment? Out of 6 billion, only 1 billion or so can be accounted for! And with no improvement at all! Quote

Out of 6 billion, only 1 billion or so can be accounted for! And with no improvement at all! I am in agreement with you that there should be some questions about where 5 billion went, but I am not sure you meant to post this in this thread or the other thread about the new environemtal controls being introduced soon by CPC Quote
jbg Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 Seriously, can the libs not find someone in their midst that would be clean and willing to stay that way? It is a sad day when with all the candidates there is not one that does not have hue baggage attached. ow you can see why the people who would have had a chance to run and win have decided to take a time out. The libs are one screwed up party. Too soon after Sponsorgate. It took the US six years to clean up the Republican Party. Reagan was the result. Harper is the result of the cleaning of the Right in Canada. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

betsy Posted October 4, 2006 Author Report Posted October 4, 2006 5 Oct Just heard it from a Conservative (MDuffy Live) that another Liberal corruption scandal is about to come out. This time it involves the Native Band in Manitoba. I don't know the details. Anybody know about that? Both NDP and Conservative were ribbing the Liberal rep saying: "it's halloween for the Liberals!"
