"A lot of you Harper fans are "trying" to bring me down over my past, who I know and judge me on the Idle No More rallies I've attended. You can say all you want and post all the photos of me you want. It's pointless because those things have nothing to do with the issues at hand..
I'm here to speak for those who are mistreated by our government. I'm voicing Canadians and First Nations issues that the government is not addressing. I'm here to stay and I'm not backing down. The Harper fanatics know my life story by reading enough and they all know how strong and resilient I am. My strength and the truth scares the conservatives. Everyone rise up and speak the truth, now is the time!! Let your voices be heard."

You know, Cliffy I may not agree with some of what you write but I do admire the fact that you never back down and have, as far as I've seen, never broken faith with your beliefs.

Miss Universe is it, or Miss World..........one or the other - I don't pay attention to either contest but I saw an interview with her and found her to be a very intelligent young woman.

Sorry Cliffy, I don't know very much about you- outside of what you've told me in P.M.s I know you worked as a draftsman and I know you got run over by a logging truck, so can only assume you haven't had a easy life since then. I would never judge you and as far as Harper goes I know he has a few quirks and tells a few fibs, but I can't see any of his opponents being an improvement. Having said that I could also see he can be an A$$hole at times, but myself, my family and friends haven't suffered unduly because of him. POLITICIANS ARE POLITICIANS!

Yeah, I really must quit defining Jr. and Mulehair. :) :)

It's never too late to learn something new or change your mind.

As people I don't have a thing in the world against either of them. Once you've declared yourself as a politician, then you are a "marked" man & it just comes down to picking the lesser of the evils. :)

From my perspective, it is more like you are voting for the devil you know....

The question is..... "How many idle no more rallies has Cliffy attended?"
Or is he just an armchair judgemental sociologist?:roll:

I guess and I suppose some would say I'm a bit of a mercenary as I kind of like the income splitting aspect that benefits seniors. Jr. is just too jumpy for my liking.

Cliffy is my friend and I don't see a whole lot wrong with him and besides, he's funny.

On average, white people are more intelligent than black people and males are more intelligent than females.
Even if it were true, the neatest thing is that every time you post, your comment becomes less and less factual because the average keeps dropping when you post.
Erm, I'm guessing you are male.
hehehe

Anyways, back to the topic, here's a George Orwell quotation I kind of like : "Political language… is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."

It IS true.
uhuh Sorry, I'm not into buying bridges and gold-laying geese.
I'll explain, seeing as you seem to be lost for thought; what I said means "I don't believe you".

"It is a far, far better thing to have a firm anchor in nonsense than to put out on the troubled seas of thought."
John Kenneth Galbraith

Now THAT is sarcasm at it's finest. :D

My Mom passed away last year.i had taken care of her while she was able to stay home. Then after that I would visit with her everday. I have this saying that never seems to be far from my heart. "My mother taught me everything that I need to know, except how to live without it her".
