The CPC rating the debate before it even began

[Briteyes]

I was watching Mike Duffy live and I was shocked when the Liberal strategist read from a peice of paper that leaked from the CPC rating the debate hours before it even began here is the link for anyone who is interested in viewing it

It's just business as usual for the Conservatives. No substance, no truth, just spin and platitudes and they aren't even competent at that.

All parties try to spin the debate to their advantage, but for the CPC to have been caught writing their press relase before the debates shows an arrogance that is sickening.

I prefer to think it shows a clear, concise understanding of the issues and personalities involved..... :lol:

I understand there was a Liberal document released the other day that said they could only guarantee 10 seats would be theirs.

In the background though, they giggle like little girls while they plan our demise....

What it shows is more Conservative corruption.

What!!! Somebody paid them to be wise?

This ain't corruption, Rev.

Stupid misstep, yes. Corruption? No.

What they did amounts to lying to the Canadian public, Colpy. That's corruption.

I'm a political junkie and even I didn't watch the debate. I haven't found one fellow worker who spent more than the first 10 minutes watching it. It's all about performance and media hype. All that counts the next day is spin and perception.

RE: The CPC rating the de

You didn't miss much, Calberty.

Harper's lack of French showed a bit...he had to ask for the recorded questions to be repeated a couple of times. He was basically there to say that everything is Martin's fault. Oh, and he lied about Martin threatening to use Notwithstanding on SSM.

The debate was really between Duceppe and Martin though. It was pretty much a wash.

I see the debates as a politcal jousting and the impact is on the media..not the viewers (or lack of them). The policies and not momentary 'slip ups' are what I cast my vote on.

For me me the only real value is to see whether or not a PM or future PM can think or act under pressure and doesn't crack up (a la Turner against Mulroney). I don't equate a 'hold your on' TV performance with the inability to be a good PM. Allthe current leaders can do their monkey act well enough to be PM.

RE: The CPC rating the de

There is an impact on the viewers, but it's mostly from what the media decides about the politicians performances. The important thing is they get the exposure.

I think tonight's debate will be a little more lively than last night's. Harper and Layton really have little stake in Quebec, with each of them being a spoiler in a couple of ridings but having no real chance of winning seats there. BC is a battleground though and tonight's debate is likely to show that.

The candidates are also more familiar with the format, and will have been coached all day on how to do better tonight, so it should be more entertaining. I doubt there will be knockout, but it will be a more lively debate.

ah, I thought CPC was Communist Party of Canada as it is commonly known as. Isn't the short form for the Conservative Party of Canada usually "Tory, Con or just Conservative"

I'm sure all the parties had formulated a answer to the debate before it started. Just because for instance, they pretty much know what the other sides will say in general.

They're pretty commonly referred to as the CPC because it differentiates them from the old PC party.

I googled CPC

here's the first four results. Notice how the Conservative party didn't come up. lol. Notice how Communist party of Canada did. I think I'll stick with calling the Conservative party of Canada, Tory, Con, or Conservatives.

But you are right. The PC's (Progressive Conservative Party) are not the same as the CPC (Conservative party of Canada).

RE: The CPC rating the de

It still gets used though, and it's far more accurate than calling them Tories or Conservatives since they are neither the party of John A. MacDonald nor interested in conserving anything other than their own wealth.

I'm still not sure. Even though this is such a small point which really doesn't matter. Around the world CP usually stands for "Communist party"

But since both the CPC Communist party of Canada and the CPC (ML) Communist party of Canada Marxist-Leninist Combined receice about 0.3-0.4, well I guess the Conservative party of Canada can have the Communists name of CPC. =-D They deserve it. :twisted:
