    Sabotaging elections is good for for the country?

    Just loving  this “but the Liberals did…” snowstorm you all are putting out. It didn’t work when you were 10, it’s hardly a credible defense now either. But don’t let that stop you.

    No, the public seeing through media inflated hysteria is good for the country.

    Would you take a knife to a gun fight?
      Difficult for a fanatic to understand, but in most battles – and politics is certainly a battle, you generally play the hand you’re dealt.   And if you’re not worried about a level playing field, why are you worried about robocalls?   Dirty tracks against the  CPC are fine, but they daren’t respond in kind? Like I said, Harper watched and learned – while I have problems with it, I’m realistic enough, and knowledgble enough, to know its been going on since we became a country.  The problem is that when each party is in power, they have little reason to give up an
     advantage – that’s the unfortunate reality.

    How about an update, has Pat Martin apologized?

    I think the wording of the script created the sense that Cotler’s resignation was likely,  rather than simply possible, either through design or error.

    The question could have been framed to ask if the resident would consider supporting the CPC in the event that Cotler was not on the Liberal ticket.  No need to raise the question of a by-election etc.

    I think the whole affair is dubious at best, and that doesn’t vindicate the whinging on the other side.  I simply believe that the CPC should be better.

     It does seem to be a reasonable jab at someone who presents as a slayer of socialists.  Don’t you feel a little hyperbolic under that moniker?
