He cannot even defend himself in parliament. <BR/><BR/>Yesterday he tried to demonize PMSH and the Conservative party by accusing them of using their fiscal policy to attack "the poor and vulnerable", but ended up getting royally smacked when the Prime Minister exposed the Liberal Party’s record.

On the Lib side? Cotler maybe. His missus? Fer shure, eh!<BR/><BR/>But Wappell? NEVER!!! This is old vet,Tango J, venting about old vet-abusing, sleaze-ball Tommy.<BR/><BR/><BR/>My humble observations on this vote? I see the main clue featured in a TV scrum featuring Lib MP Mme Rastani (? not certain on the spelling here, sorry.)<BR/><BR/>These ATA laws were entrusted to the Liberals when they wrote them up. Just 'cause they're "the party of human rights and the Cdn. constitution... but you can no longer leave these sorts of laws in the hands of someone like this government, someone like a 'fass-iss.' You know?"<BR/><BR/>The score from the Natural Ruling Party of Grit Grift and Corruption goes like this: Hum along on the first few bars. "The Liberal Party of Canada, the Party of the most recent use of the War Measures Act infamy, was good with the deal, but, NOW, the Conservatives - can never, must never, be trusted with anything as precious as the rights of Canadian citizens, 'cause like the lady sez: "they're ideaological 'fass-isst's,' plain and simple."<BR/><BR/>that's what's really going on here. It don't matter much no-how how Dion, and the BellMounts, appeared to have fragmented the vote-absent-abstention charade. <BR/><BR/>They just showed the country that they can still ride herd on Prime Minister Harper because, you know, he's a scary, bush-y ideaologue wee-publican, with a tewwible nasty old hidden agenda.<BR/><BR/>That's all there is folks. No more. No less. Gotta stomp on them clowns. Good. And hard. Then nail their appolgists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-77177299057061043652007-02-27T22:52:00.000-05:002007-02-27T22:52:00.000-05:00I have yet to see a post on who was not there, or ...I have yet to see a post on who was not there, or voted against:<BR/><BR/>So far, Cotler, Wappell, Cullen, Paul Martin, Bill Graham, Derek Lee.<BR/><BR/>Anybody know the rest?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-29417740482298890102007-02-27T22:14:00.000-05:002007-02-27T22:14:00.000-05:00Mississauga news story Chis Clay Dec. 20,2005:A pe...Mississauga news story Chis Clay Dec. 20,2005:<BR/>A person(Elsabawy) present at the Liberal nomination of Alghebra alleges he heard him say 'victory for Islam' on the podium.<BR/>Now Algehbra is mentioned in the Jonathan Kay National Post story...not hard to figure how Dion 'came up thru the middle' in Dec./06.Not hard to figure his determination in the vote today.<BR/>Not hard to figure why MSM is sleeping thru this one.<BR/>Remember last week Robertson(CTV) spent 10 minutes telling Canada about vitamins on the 11pm National News after Harper mentioned the Bolan story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-45907024016894600872007-02-27T21:05:00.001-05:002007-02-27T21:05:00.001-05:00Anon, thanks.

If more information comes out about unsavoury deals, Dion's image as a squeaky-clean enviro-wonk will erode, and traditional voter suspicion about sleazy Liberal ethno-politics will bubble to the surface. Given the high stakes -- we are, after all, talking about a law that could help us learn the truth about the greatest terrorist attack in Canadian history, as well as prevent even greater carnage in the future-- the issue could prove explosive."<BR/><BR/>Here:<BR/><BR/>http://tinyurl.com/2748xj<BR/><BR/>A "deal".
