They use loopholes to let criminals and creeps get free,

That is an interesting statement, accusing those who use the law of using the law.

Like hello!

When you become responsible, and have a family, a wife, a child, you realize the Conservative party and FAMILY VALUES are more important.

If that were actually true, we'd never have anything *but* Conservative governments with large majorities. Married with children types are still a large majority of people, aren't they?

And if somebody could sensibly explain to me what 'family values' really means, I'd be grateful. Seems to me it's mostly used in a knee-jerk fashion as the basis for a dismissive criticism of some social trend or public policy the person using the phrase doesn't like. Where Conservatives say 'family values', NDP supporters say 'ordinary Canadians,' and Liberals say whatever they think will get them a vote.

Yep, thats the way it goes, when your young NDP, lates 20s, Liberal, and by the time your in your 30s married, and have children, they all swing over to Conservative.

I resent that comment. I've never gone so far as to support the NDP. When I was young I supported Trudeau - which was just about the same, though.

I can name 20 people, who went from Liberal to Conservative when they started having a family and getitng married.

 

[BitWhys]

I can name twenty people who were destined to turn into assholes no matter WHO they voted for.

The funny thing is, half the "family values" espoused would cause alot of people to disown their family or vice versa if people actually held those as family values.

Brain damage is the best recruiting tool of the Harper Conservatives.:lol:

Then all the Dippers should be joining the conservatives in hordes and the Hypogrits will be pondering on this event for ages trying to figure it out.
