BC_chick Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 I never have been a big fan of Emerson and wasn't crazy about what he did. That being said, he's performed admirably in government so far...I still wouldn't trust him as an ex-Liberal though. As for Dryden, still figuring out why he did what he did...liked him better in goal than spinning the Liberal myths of Canada. Emmerson is laughing all the way to the bank. Let's see, the guy flips in a riding which hasn't voted Conservative in fifty years. He obviously therefore knows that switching sides is the last time he's going to be elected, yet he does it anyway. Nobody wonders why. The fact that he ends up signing the soft-wood lumber deal when he's been on the board of Canfor - Canada's largest exporter of lumber - went over everyone's head without so much as a peep from the media. He was a Liberal out of convenience and your beloved Harper took him in a heartbeat and gave him the position. So please..... stop with the righteoussness of the CPC. A bunch of hypocrites who haven't been exposed yet. Must be the Liberal media. Quote It's kind of the worst thing that any humans could be doing at this time in human history. Other than that, it's fine." Bill Nye on Alberta Oil Sands

He obviously therefore knows that switching sides is the last time he's going to be elected, yet he does it anyway. Nobody wonders why. It seems very likely that Khan and Emerson will not be re-elected in their ridings. Quote

I do not doubt he was a Liberal out of conveinence but I do believe Harper took him honourably to ensure representation for Vancouver in his government (even though it appears to be unrequited representation). I won't blame this one on the Liberal mainstream media, although they gave Belinda a free pass and blew this out of proportion.

tml12 Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 What's a guy who doesn't follow the polls doing launching pre-emptive strikes on an opponent when it's not even election time? Must be the same reason he decided to do a 180 on his environment policy "out of the blue".... Fear is very unbecoming in a leader. It showed in Martin's face too and now it shows in Harper's. I'm gonna get blasted for even bringing up this name, but Chretien was the master of showing no fear. Hate him all you want, but his confidence is something every politician envies. I wouldn't fear too if I was running against regional opposition parties and knowing tons of taxpayer money was pouring into the pockets of my party.

Ricki Bobbi Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 So please..... stop with the righteoussness of the CPC. A bunch of hypocrites who haven't been exposed yet. Huh?

I won't blame this one on the Liberal mainstream media, although they gave Belinda a free pass and blew this out of proportion. There are two major differences between the two instances. 1. Belinda did not switch parties days after she was elected. 2. The Conservatives had just finished running a campaign on ethics and railing against the very same behaviour from the Liberals. ---------------------------- Again the CPC conveiently blames the media for blowing things out of proportion, when it was the CPC themselves who set the moral bar so high in the first place with the campaign they ran. If you are going to shout from the mountain top how you are morally superior, don't be surprised when you are held to superior standards. This whole "But we're not as bad as the Liberals" that the CPC conveniently falls back on is a joke. The CPC spent months telling Canada how not only were they morally superior to the Liberals, but how they were so different from the Liberals. So far they haven't proven either. If anything the CPC is looking more like the old Liberal party everyday. Quote Harper differed with his party on some key policy issues; in 1995, for example, he was one of only two Reform MPs to vote in favour of federal legislation requiring owners to register their guns. http://www.mapleleafweb.com/election/bio/harper.html "You've got to remember that west of Winnipeg the ridings the Liberals hold are dominated by people who are either recent Asian immigrants or recent migrants from eastern Canada: people who live in ghettoes and who are not integrated into western Canadian society."

They are saying "the Conservatives are morally superior to us but not by a lot." Liberal partisans are the only ones who see the Conservatives as lacking because they aren't much, much, much morally superior to the Liberals. Swing voters are daily being convinced that the Conservatives *are* morally superior to the Liberals. That is why we will win the next election.

sideshow Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 These ads are tacky. Everyone should give Dion a chance-just like Harper should be given a chance. I think the Conservatives denigrated themselves by pursuing this format to push their agenda. Positives don't come from negatives. Quote

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I am not a Liberal and I am not blindly partisan unlike most on these boards. You seemed to have missed the point, which is the Conservatives are the ones saying they are morally superior and everytime they are questioned on the obvious lack of their own morality, they simply point to the worst of the Liberal corruption and say " But we're not as bad as this." The joke is still the Hypocracy of the CPC.
