Liberal phobia and the cause….

[countryboy]

Countryboy:If that list doesn't come from an email somewhere ..It will be once I finish emailing all my friends:lol:

DS - It's an original. I was reminiscing about the "dark days" of Trudeau & Chretien when these recollections just popped into my mind. I limited the "observations" to 26 in the interests of brevity. :lol:

 

[CDNBear]

Let us look at some of the reasons, countryboy. You must have sat up all night thinking of all the hateful things you could say about Liberal.s Or more likely, this is copy and paste from another website, with you giving no credit to the original poster.

Oh please, you steal so much info without credit it's like you actually believe your that smart...:roll:

Surely you jest. I thought most Conservatives hated Liberals with a passion. Aren't the liberals the Spawn of the Devil? After all, it is worth staying up all night to come up with 26 hateful things to say about them. Or it is worth scouring the internet to find 26 hateful things somebody has said about Liberals and copy and paste it here (without giving credit to the original author).

How about the 200 hundred I posted, can you refute them?

Quite. like trying to ban gay marriage, trying to ban abortion, wanting to teach Creationism to every child etc.

Please provide links to this for confirmation.

Indeed. Talking incessantly of financial prudence, while racking up huge debt and huge deficit.

While being forced to, to remain in power.

Quite. like claiming to be fiscally ocnervaitve, whiule spending borrowed money like a drunken sailor.

Like the Liberals.

Quite. That is why they increase spending every year they are in office. That is what conservatives have done under Harper.

Because they've been forced to by both a global recession and the pressure placed upon them by the Liberals, in cahoots with the separatists.

You mean ruthless operating style of Mulroney and Harper, don't you? Mulroney was the king of corruption. As to Harper, give him time.

:lol:, prove it, I've posted 199 acts of corruption committed by the Liberals, what have you got for the Cons?

Quite. Like Preston Manning or Stockwell Day.

Not in the Conservative party.

I could go on and cover all the points, but I am sure you get the idea. What you are describing here is Conservative Party, not Liberal Party. You are describing yourself here.

BS, he's got the Libs pegged.

And that's the short list.....

Yes it is.

Actually Harper is very astute, borrowing money while interest rates are low and reinvesting it when costs are low (relatively speaking- inflation is close to zero right now)

Actually, I was having a cup of tea at the time and didn't even need a refill to quickly get these thoughts together.

Or more likely, this is copy and paste from another website, with you giving no credit to the original poster.

See, now you're showing your Liberal "teeth" again because you disagree with the content. Hurling accusations based on your own fabricated truths - like you've just done - should have been character trait no. 27.

You can spend the next 3 days scouring the Internet for that list and you won't find it. It's an original. But have a nice time on Google anyway. :lol:

 

[countryboy]

Here add this to it. It might take me a bit, but I have an updated version on disk around here somewhere.

Wow! 199 specific example of Liberal performances! Your list is incredible. Incredible to think that the public voted them back in as often as they did. "Scary" comes to mind. :-(

 

[JLM]

And that's the short list.....

Not to mention that totally corrupt little bastard David Emerson crossing the floor 10 minutes after being elected. Normally I have said the same about Harper for accepting him, but Harper needed all the help (some help) he could get at the time.

 

[countryboy]

I see that the Conservatives have a 4 point lead over the Liberals in the latest poll.

At some point, the Liberals will find a leader. Until they do, we'll have the status quo.

Yes, having a competent Official Opposition is an integral and important part of our Parlimentary system. A good leader of it is a key element that is currently MIA.

That's actually the short list. Right now I'm bouncing back and forth between tying roe for Steelhead fishing tomorrow, this iste and two others, when I get a better chance, I'll go through my disk library, I have a list that's closer to 300 acts of unethical behaviour committed by the Liberals. I was working on one for the NDP too. Like when Jack and Olivia lived in subsidized Co-op housing, paying below market rent and making collectively over $150,000...:lol:

I've actually ask several times for the left to provide me with a comparable list. That was something like 3 years ago that I first asked. I'm still waiting.

 

[countryboy]

Give it up S.J.- you are just making yourself look stupid (stupider than you actually are) in front of the whole forum. Everyone else on the forum was able to read that I said "I am Conservative- this week" so cease and desist with the bullsh*t.

Keeping right on the topic here, that does raise the possibility of an another addition to the list...
Possible causes of Liberal phobia:
No. 28 - An uncanny ability to expend energy pursuing a course of action that is entirely pointless.

Absolutely, look at Iggy and Dion, they tried the damnedest to make their spin stick to the Cons, only to look like boobs.

Sound familiar?

 

[JLM]

Quite so. Anyway, he recently admitted (twice) that he indeed is a conservative, he has given up the pretense of being non partisan. I only wish other conservatives here (who claim to be non partisan) show similar courage, and not to be ashamed to call themselves conservative.

Intelligent people are flexible, change their opinions periodically and listen and adopt (at times) to what others have to say. That is precisely the reason the human race has evolved to where it is today. When they tried things two or three times and it didn't work , they changed strategy.

 

[SirJosephPorter]

Yep, I can still vividly remember seeing the headline in the morning paper announcing the Conservative sweep of 208 seats in June of 1958. Diefenbaker was as much the rage in '58 as Trudeau was in '68, but it fizzled out pretty fast. Dief was not known as a man who listened.

Not to worry. According to Harper acolytes, Harper will manage a similar sweep at the next election. After all, the Messiah has promised his acolytes to deliver them to the Promised Land of majority.

"Not to worry. According to Harper acolytes, Harper will manage a similar sweep at the next election. After all, the Messiah has promised his acolytes to deliver them to the Promised Land of majority."

Beware of three words/expressions that surely signal the presence of an inflexible political red neck: "acolytes", "Messiah" and "Promised Land".

Just like concrete: all mixed up and permanently set.

Countryboy:If that list doesn't come from an email somewhere ..It will be once I finish emailing all my friends:lol:

So you had the same thought as I did. The list is very likely copy and paste from somewhere. If not, very likely he stayed up all night thinking of all the hateful things he could say about Liberals (but they really apply more to conservatives than to liberals).

Harper will likely eclipse Dief's record as he listens better and he has a broader base of support. Dief's support was mainly with Saskatchewan wheat farmers. Mind you Dief did sell a lot of wheat to China. Harper has a pretty tight rope to walk though, one mis step and he won't be getting my vote.

In other words, you have been outclassed and are now sulking

 

[lone wolf]

Yep, that comes from having a limited vocabulary. You forgot a couple "religious right", "infallable left"

Interesting how many of us "conservatives" scored farther left than Radical Joe in the spectrum test a while back....

 

[SirJosephPorter]

Not if they leave the country.

And who is more likely to leave the country, somebody's son the doctor, or the average public, the hoi polloi?

The doctor's son will very likely repay very little of what Harper is borrowing from him. He may leave the country or he will have myriads of tax shelters available. It is his sons and his grandsons who will end up repaying what he is getting from Harper.

When there is massive debt, massive deficit, it is usually the poor who suffer more than the rich (and that fits in nicely with the conservative philosophy).

As has been stated, the single mother doesn't pay taxes, she spends all of her money on necessities of life, so she won't be paying the price anyway.

 

[SirJosephPorter]

Frankly, I don't see much of a difference between the way the conservatives have governed the past few years and the liberals in the decade before... two peas in a pod.

You have a point there, as far as economy is concerned. There is one big difference of course, Liberals would not have given tax cuts to the rich and frittered away all the surplus. As a result, they would be running a much smaller deficit than Harper is running today.

But other than that, you are right, there is not much difference between the two. But the reason for that is that Harper has moved to the centre. We don’t know if he really belongs to the centre right or he is really a far right politician who is governing from centre right only because it is expedient (he has only a minority).
