White Doors Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 I mean Mother Theresa didn't grandly announce that she was going to live in poverty and save the children, and then commission studies on how to become poor and change diapers, did she? hahaha Quote Those Dern Rednecks done outfoxed the left wing again.~blueblood~
Topaz Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 It's always nice to know people are laughing at the Liberals, believe THEY are NOT laughing at the Cons, if anything its the opposite!!! When is the election????? Quote
betsy Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 Harper didn't run his entire campaign with the "environment" as it's centerpiece like Dion did. You don't think the environment has become a big priority for the Conservatives all of a sudden? It wasn't as big of a political issue during the last campaign, but now that it has become a huge issue, it has become a priority for the Conservatives all of a sudden. How's that for conviction? The way Dion and Layton are carrying on....those two are masters at creating mass-hysteria! Ha-ha-ha! What do you think? Of course Harper is going to address it. What leader wouldn't? Quote
stignasty Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 this stuff looks and sounds like its right out of the 2004 RNC handbook.... sad. Would you expect any less in a thread that was created for the sole reason of bashing the Liberal party? Quote "It may not be true, but it's legendary that if you're like all Americans, you know almost nothing except for your own country. Which makes you probably knowledgeable about one more country than most Canadians." - Stephen Harper
Figleaf Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 Thank you Figleaf. In one sentence you succinctly represented the unfounded arrogance and complete lack of class of the Liberal caucus. Newsflash, Einstein -- I'm not in the Liberal caucus. Quote
Figleaf Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 Most Canadians don't think that about *most everything* the Government of Prime Minister Harper has done. How would you know? Anyway, if they don't think that yet, they soon will. You can't show the kind of folly that Steve has shown and get away with it forever. Quote
Figleaf Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 Are you saying that every person who voted for a party other than the Conservatives think *most everything* Canada's New Government does is outrageous???That's what Figleaf said. Ad you appear to be supporting. I never said anything about most Canadians. It was you who made a foolish unsupported claim along those lines. I was speaking for myself. Quote
Shakeyhands Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 And in another scrum with the press regarding the environment, somebody asked about energy used in big houses and mansions, and Dion is quick to quip that his wife had the inspectors in to see how they can reduce energy consumption in their house. He's just doing that now? Well, what took him so long? What took him so long? He would actually have to be committed to the environment to have acted before it was politically advantageous to do so. Do you really think Dion has ever acted out of conviction? Do you really think a supporter of the CPC can say this? Did you do so with a straight face? Welcome back Ricki!

Catchme Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 Because no matter what they say or do, anything the Government says or does leads to cries of outrage and demands for apologies. LinkBelinda Stronach, because some Liberal MPs claim Peter McKay compared her to a dog.Ralph Goodale, because charges were eventually laid against a civil servant over the income trust scandal, but not against him – which in his mind proved the former finance minister blameless. On the various political chat shows, Goodale was visibly angered for several weeks, regardless of the topic at hand. Navdeep Bains, because during Question Period Stephen Harper started to read a news story revealing that one of Bains’ relatives may be a witness in the Air India inquiry. The Liberal caucus promptly abandoned its prepared questions and spent all its time in Question Period demanding an apology – for words that were never entered into the record, because the same Liberals shouted the PM down before he could even get to the story’s juicy bits. Gerard Kennedy, Navdeep Bains and Omar Alghabra are suing the National Post over Jonathan Kay’s column in which an unnamed source alleged that Kennedy obtained the support of delegate blocs controlled by Bains and Alghabra, in exchange for a promise to oppose national security measures. Michael Ignatieff, because Peter Van Loan described Ignatieff as a member “who said that torture is justified when dealing with terrorists.” Ignatieff’s demand that Van Loan withdraw his comments was met by Van Loan reading several of Ignatieff’s quotes into the record, including, “defeating terror requires violence” and. “It may also require coercion, secrecy, deception, even violation of rights.” Stephane Dion, for Stephen Harper’s quip during Question Period that “I can understand that the leader of the Opposition and members of his party feel for Taliban prisoners. I just wish occasionally they’d show the same passion for Canadian soldiers.” Mark “Nancy Drew” Holland is (according to National Newswatch) considering suing Sun Media columnist Ezra Levant, over Levant’s April 3rd column about Holland’s possession of dozens of confidential Conservative staff records. Anybody else have any more... Yes, does anyone have anymore, such a good question, as the CPC lies and nasties need to be further exposed and they need to be called to account. It is unacceptable and Canadians who know are NOT impressed at all. Trying to depict others as whining when they are taking the CPC to account, is an amazingly shallow thing to do. Quote When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die. ~Jean-Paul Sartre
Michael Bluth Posted April 10, 2007 Author Report Posted April 10, 2007 Trying to depict others as whining when they are taking the CPC to account, is an amazingly shallow thing to do. Ahhh, so it isn't whining. It is taking the Government to account. Got it. Quote No one has ever defeated the Liberals with a divided conservative family. - Hon. Jim Prentice
betsy Posted April 11, 2007 Report Posted April 11, 2007 Latest poll revealed by MDuffy today, on question "Who is best as Prime Minister" has Harper at 42%, and Dion at 17% and Layton at 16%. The guy from SES sez that the most intriguing result was that all the other parties' members (Liberal, NDP and Green) had listed Harper as their second choice... Quote

The guy from SES sez that the most intriguing result was that all the other parties' members (Liberal, NDP and Green) had listed Harper as their second choice... That's really quite sad for Dion. He should naturally be the second choice of the Greens and NDP supporters. Oh well. First Liberal leader in century not to become Prime Minister.

margrace Posted April 11, 2007 Report Posted April 11, 2007 Having listened to a man who was raised in Germany and who was there it the 30's when Hitler was at his prime it somehow seems deja vu. The people of Germany at that time beleived and followed everything that Hitler told him. They thought he was the saviour of Germany, some saviour. Reading some parts of this forum and knowing the background of Harper, which the Germans did not know of Hitler, really frightens me. I hope Canadians will do a little research and think for themselves. Didn't Hitler also put his troops into another country and attack its people? Quote
stignasty Posted April 12, 2007 Report Posted April 12, 2007 Godwin's LawFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Godwin's Law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies) is a mainstay of Internet culture, an adage formulated by Mike Godwin in 1990. The law states: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.[1] While it should seem pretty clear that I am not a supporter of the current prime minister, I think comparing him to Hitler is way off the mark. Anyway, the German people saw Hitler and fascism as a saviour because of the hardships they had been suffering under the Wiemar government. Remember, they had a ten year head start on the depression. In desperate times people will look to extreme solutions. Quote "It may not be true, but it's legendary that if you're like all Americans, you know almost nothing except for your own country.

Martin Chriton Posted April 12, 2007 Report Posted April 12, 2007 Didn't Hitler also put his troops into another country and attack its people? So you're comparing the Liberals to the Nazis now? I dislike the Liberals as much as anyone, but that's going a bit too far. Quote

Which is also going a bit too far. No need to worry though. Clearly a crackpot not acting on any comprehension of the facts. If you read Margrace's post further you see that he says the Germans did not know Hitler. *But* Hitler put out that Mein Kampf before he was elected to anything. A book which let German's know all they needed to know. Quote No one has ever defeated the Liberals with a divided conservative family. - Hon. Jim Prentice

Afraid that little tidbit went right over Ricki's head. 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."
