While I'm not taking sides in this inane and positively juevenile exchange, I would like to point out that nowhere have I seen Cannuck acknowledge his/her own stupidity, and so I'm wondering if you should Google the meaning of the word "admitted/admittedly"...

Have you read all of his posts? Lots of threads to read thru.

Are you still sore, because you jumped to conclusions about my position on torture? Or do you usually think each and every thread is an insular event?

CB has trouble with the concept of sarcasm. I don't let it bother me. He is disadvantaged so we must tread lightly with him.

I just wondered if he had read all of your posts. Amazing that he has. And you have a new friend:p

I only adopted your MO.

Obviously it does. Hence your hypocrisy and lies.

If it didn't bother you, you wouldn't employ such silly behavior.

Please, carry on though. Any sarcasm you may have intended, is surely wiped away as you prove the admission to be far more truth than sarcasm.

Like all his marriages, it will come to sad end.

Can't say I have, nor do I wish to, but of the threads I have read, nowhere have I seen his "admitted stupidity"...just sayin'

Believe me, nothing you have to say will affect me one way or the other, as I'm sure will be true for you and mine...although you do seem to take things far more personally than I suspect is healthy to do...

I'm opposed to internet bullying though, and will rise to the defence of the little bitches, no matter how "admittedly stupid" they may be...

Then you're not very perceptive.

Enjoy Jimmy's friendship, while it last.

The fact that your threat smacks of bullying, I agree with your assessment of cannuck.

Tory staff couldn’t make ‘despicable’ robocalls without party knowing: campaign boss

Giorno, who is also the former chief of staff to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, said he “absolutely did not” authorize anyone, at any point, to make telephone calls describing themselves as being from Elections Canada, or to make so-called annoying calls. While he wouldn’t comment specifically on the campaign measures he had in place, he said it wasn’t possible that anyone below him engaged in dirty tricks without his knowledge.

At the same time, Giorno said the allegedly fraudulent robocalls in the riding of Guelph, Ont., deserve to be investigated by Elections Canada. “

We’re as concerned as anybody,” Giorno said. “Not just me, not just the prime minister — the tens of thousands of Conservative volunteers who worked hard to bring a majority victory, working in an ethical, law abiding way.”

I'm kind of surprised that G&M would post a misleading article like this. Clearly, even if the number of total votes were up last election, it does not mean that other voters were not dissuaded from the polls. Does the media really think we're this dumb?

If robo-calls were meant to keep voters away, they failed miserably - The Globe and Mail

Well as time passes you will find that only using the G&M is not always viable for info. I find the NP does a much better job of Ripping Cons a new one as they say.
