Carolyn Parrish

[Ten Packs]

Re: RE: Carolyn Parrish

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.

Right on, Ten Penny. Parrish is a "Bunned Stitch" and an embarrassment to Canada. Typical Loudmouth renegade Liberal. (or used to be)

Copps is just a boil on your ass that wont go a way.

 

[Reverend Blair]

Except that she was re-elected by her constituents when they knew, or should have known, what they were getting. Same with Copps.

These aren't one-termers here. They are people who have a reputation for representing their constituents in a certain way and standing for certain things. Are you guys saying that the people who have voted for them time and again are an embarrassment to Canada too?

Yes.

 

[TenPenny]

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. If you want your MP to be an ignorant loudmouth embarrassment, all the more power to you.

When I moved, Elsie Wayne became my MP. Talk about embarassing, but at least it wasn't international in scope.

They obviously put aside their disdain for her personally and voted for her anyway because she was the LIBERAL PARTY CANDIDATE! :3some:

 

[Reverend Blair]

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.

I don't find Parrish embarrassing at all. I didn't find Copps embarrassing either. These are politicians who are elected and and re-elected to represent the people who live in their ridings. They, at least, have a vision of Canada and are willing to stand up for this country. That's something that Martin and Stephen Harper have failed to do...show vision and stand up for Canada.

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.

Most, not all?

You may be right, but there's only one way to know for sure. If she's such a shoe-in, then what's the problem, she should resign and run.

Somehow I doubt GW is pissed off about Parrish. I don't think he would give her a second thought.

 

[Reverend Blair]

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.

I was wondering what all the buzz was about when I looked out my window this morning!

But seriously, I was talking about GW himself. A nation of halfwits freaking out because someone got fired for insubordination has nothing to do with GW himself. It has to do with the nation of halfwits.

 

[Reverend Blair]

No, it has to do with our spineless leaders being afraid of offending Georgie. We are talking about a man who doesn't want to address Parliament because they might boo him after all.

We should tell him to stay home if he's afraid to address Parliament.

 

[gerryh]

We should tell him just to stay home period!

 

[moghrabi]

They will boo him as they did Reagan. This is why he is avoiding it. Let him stay home. He is the one who is telling us "keep the terrorsits out of Canada".

Bush to speak in Halifax, not in Parliament

He should speak at Gander or Alert so that the threat of a terrorist strike will not be in a major population center if he does not have the stomach to face a few boos in Parliament.

 

[moghrabi]

There will no terrosrist threat. He will just come to Halifax and say few nice words about Canadians helping Americans on 9/11. That would be about 3 years overdue.

 

[Scape]

Anywhere Bush speaks rasies the concern of an attack. He has nothing to fear, he is better protected than the Pope. However, it is a fair to say it is unlikly that he will be given a warm reception, thus protests and potetial for violence. I can see a situation like Concordia happening when the Israeli PM came to speak. 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.

 

[Reverend Blair]

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

I'm all for keeping terrorists out of Canada...that's why I don;t think we should let Bush in. :wink:

I think peaceful protests are a good thing though, Scape. Most Canadian protests have been peaceful since Quebec, and that was a police riot.

Bush isn't afraid of protests anyway...he lives in a bubble where he never has to see the protestors. What he's afraid of is our elected officials because he doesn't have all of them in his pocket.

That is exactely what I meant by my staement.

 

[Numure]

As much as I hated the dumbass, I miss Chrétien.

 

[Reverend Blair]

I kinda figured, but I was fishing for a chance to brag about my t-shirt again. It has a picture of Geoge Bush on it and the caption "International Terrorist." It's my favourite shirt ever.
