The CPC rating the debate before it even began

The Conservatives do have a lot of things in common with the old-line communists in Poland, don't they?

Dictatorial, uncompassionate, putting things before people, concerned with their personal gain over the good of the state, willing to be a satellite state of a centralized power, the wish to have police state.

Man, they're virtual clones of the clowns who ran Poland pre-Walesa.

I kind of thought the Liberals won the debate. Layton was pretty strong as well but Harper was probably an embarrassment to his party. It seems the Cons got the wrong "insider" information. Par for the course. :wink:

I don't know if they won the debate. I always think they should call in judges from the high school debating clubs to judge that.

Martin certainly won the war for press coverage when he ripped into Duceppe though. Whoever wrote that for him definitely deserves a raise.

Layton did well enough that even the National Post was saying nice things about him. That's major.

What about that Communist Leader who wanted to reform the Communist party back in the 60's into more of a humaninist socialist party or a Western version of Socialism? He wasn't all that bad, plus after the fall of Communism/Stalinism, he did make a pref return to politics in Poland before dieing. For some reason I can't remember his name but I remember reading him in Soviet history and in "Lenin's Tomb". The guy who was crushed by the Warsaw pact.

I don't remember that at all.

You know what. I was wrong. I was thinking of Alexander Dubček, from Czechoslovakia, and not Poland. My mistake. Anyhow he was the Communist who wanted to reform the system into a more western Socialist system and then was crushed by the Warsaw pact.

Ah, I vaguely remember Dubcek.

Yeah he was the President or PM or soemthing of the Check republic after the fall of communism briefly before he died. I know the posistion he had didn't have too much power though. But he was a good man and enlightend. too bad the Soviets/Warsaw pact crushed his movement and government.
