Reverend Blair said:
is that the CPC is the only party that proposes fiscal responsibility,

During the last election, yours was the platform that got the least endorsements from economists.

During the last election, the cost of the CPC platform was less than the original Liberal budget, before the additional NDP spending spree.

responsible immigration based on skills, not race,

Of course you support racial profiling as well, and would tighten refugee rules.

No to profiling, yes to refugee rule tightening to assist those who play by the rules and are not que jumpers. It is hypocritical of you to suggest that private health care is bad because of que jumping, when the present liberal non policy encourages que jumping and hurts those genuine refugees who play by the rules. And yes, they would tighten rules against those in the US who would like to claim refugee status. That is bogus, and if you do not know it, you are not being honest.
maintaining the status quo on abortion,


Still trying to hide the agenda, Blue? I've explained this to you several times now, but Harper's refusal to state that he would not support a private members bill points to an attempt to ban abortion in a sneaky, dishonest, even corrupt way. It is cynical to lie to Canadians like that.

And I have explained to you on several occasions that your stance is ridiculous, and based on lies. Democracy works for everyone, not just those you happen to support. Private members bills are the back benchers way of ensuring democracy. Your argument is specious, and totally incorrect. Continuing to spout it as truth is to continue to lie. \
guaranteeing equal rights for gays under SS unions,

Another bit of intellectual dishonesty. Either gays can get married and have the same rights as everybody else, or you are trying to make them second class citizens.

Your point and mine differ. I and around 50% of Canadians do not see it as a rights or equality issue.

and a pledge to clean up the stink and sleaze of the liberals.

The Conservatives have not proposed one change that might address that.

Yes they have. Read their website, policies, issues, and philosophy. And the liberals did propose it, and look what that got us. Face it, you tacitly support a lying, cheating, stealing, power at all costs, sleazy party. By supporting the NDP during this Parliament, you are de facto supporting the Liberals.

RE: Why you hate the Conservatives and what is it about Libe

lol funny pictures.

the conservatives are too extreme for me, when belinda left them they had the right to be critical but they over-did it with the name-calling and the public declaration that she was a whore for power. The grewal case showed how greasy the liberals and and conservatives are, but for creating such a greasefest grewal takes top credit. I find the conservatives are the most adept at inundating government with an aura of untrustability and pettiness. And I remember Harper screaming at Chretien to take us to war with Iraq. Scary...

RE: Why you hate the Cons

Belinda never really belonged with the conservatives anyways. She is more Liberal. That being said though if they would of elected her leader instead of Harper she may of been able to make the party more moderate and take advantage of the Gomery scandel, which Harper could not.

But we saw the tories true colours when she left, when the bloc sided with the liberals to end debate on budget and push for a vote and when the bloc supported same sex marriage law. The name calling, bad mouthing afterwards from Harper and his cronies just made the tories look like losers.

RE: Why you hate the Conservatives and what is it about Libe

I read this thread and I fully support blue, he was the only one that made any sense.
However the fact is the Conservatives are too much for Canadians to handle. The new Conservative party was born from Alberta roots and Canadians cannot stand anything Albertan. Canadian's bitterly hate right wing Albertans, we are scary, backward, redneck racist cowboys, and that represents Harper/Bush and the conservatives, and so we will never take over the ottawa, end of story. The best the Conservatives can do is the official opposition, so their is no sense in trying.

RE: Why you hate the Cons

what really gets me is that Harper is dissing the Liberals for making a deal with the Bloc when not two weeks before that HE was siding with the Bloc against the Liberals, can you say "hypocrite"?.

You said it Travis. Harper's alliance with the Bloc to topple the government was beyond hypocritical and into the domain of the treasonous...

So let me get this straight.

It's okay to collaborate with seperatists to defeat the government and force an (unpopular) election when such an election would likely:

1. strengthen the hand of sovereigntists in Quebec.
2. increase the likelyhood of the CPC forming the next government (at least according to polls over the period of time in question)


But it is not okay to work with the seperatists to pass budget legislation that has broad multipartisan support in mostregions of the country.

Oh give me a break, Martin and every damn cabinet minister was all over the news when the bloc and conservatives voted against the budget saying exactly the same things. Do you even know why they are called opposition parties? They are not supposed to make the governments agenda easy, are they. That is not a question, it is a statement.

You know, of course, that the LIberals and the Bloc voted together three times more than the conservatives and bloc voted together don't you Vanni? Oh you didn't? Well, now you do. So I guess that makes the Libs three times more as treasonous, having so much legislation that the Bloc supports. What a petard you are hoisted on.

Opposition Parties: Political parties who are supposed to oppose the government and not assist them in their agenda.

If your #1 point is true, why have the liberals and the Bloc voted three times as many times together as the Conservatives and the Bloc? In other words, why does the separatist Bloc party like the Liberal policies and platforms? Hmmmmm?????????

Re: Why you hate the Conservatives and what is it about Libe

blue;

Did you ever stop to consider that the CPC party of Canada now represents an increasingly marginalized fringe element in Canadian politics that is so extreme that even the Bloc can not support them (when demonstrating that federal politics in Canada is disfunctional would no doubt strengthen support for the Bloc in Quebec)?

When you are way out on the right, even the center looks left.

No, I did not consider that statement, because it is false.

And when you are whay out on the left, even the center looks right. I am in the middle, you are on the far left.

Not at all. But you on the left must be getting broken arms patting yourself so much on the back. But then when you have nothing else to do, you go with your strengths, don't you.
