Carolyn Parrish

Her candidates knew who they were getting.

They voted for her, knowing how she was, not for the party.

That's an assumption. You can't say she was elected because of who she was, and not because of her party affiliation. That's nonsense, especially in an election that was so highly charged by lefties as "We must keep Harper out!".

Her candidates knew who they were getting. She had to fight for nomination against one Martin's pets, and she had been outspoken long before the last election. If I knew that way out here in Manitoba, her constituents have no excuse for not knowing.

He ignored that I'd already said,

They could have put Martin's pet in as candidate, but they didn't. They could have voted for somebody else who wasn;t part of Harper's assault on human decency, but they didn't.

The fact, Just the Facts, is that her constituents voted for Carolyn Parrish. They elected her as their MP over the other candidates.

Those constituents are liable to be better represented now anyway.

Furthermore, I would really appreciate an explanation as to how that's going to happen.

Those constituents are liable to be better represented now anyway. She was locked out of circles of influence in the Martin government. She would have been lucky to be allowed to stand up and ask a question (likely one written by somebody else) in the House of Commons once a year. Now she gets one question a week.

Let me preface this by saying that I am no apologist for GWB; in fact, I doubt he is anything but a puppet run by the hard right loonies.

However, that being said, I am a private citizen. I am free to say these things. If I were an elected representative of the Canadian people, I would NOT be free to speak like that; there are certain expectations for those holding public office, and speaking with some sense of tact and diplomacy is one of them.

Parrish is supposedly a school teacher; I am glad she never taught my daughters. I teach my children to behave with politeness, something she has obviously not learned.

Sheila Copps, when she was on CBC the other morning, was just as bad. She doesn't get it either. Too bad.

Are you guys saying that the people who have voted for them time and again are an embarrassment to Canada too?

I don't know if the voters are an embarrassment, but they obviously WANT TO BE embarrassed. That confuses me, but hey, each to his own.

That argument doesn't hold water, Facts. Unlike most Liberal candidates, her votes actually increased. She is the variable there because it is the same Liberal party that lost votes all around the country.

George Bush is a big boy. If can't handle being called a few names then he should go back to Texas. The accuracy of the names Parrish has called him is what really pisses him off. That's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Then why is everybody running around freaking out?

That's the real story here...that Parrish was being mean to poor little Georgie. That's where the differences between her and Martin spring from. That's why some people are saying they are embarrassed by her. That's why other people are cheering her on.

He is the one who is telling us "keep the terrorsits out of Canada".

If Bush feels he has to come here I would rather it be in an area that if protests are to happen it would not be in a major population center is all.
