Reply #58: Liberal shill # 1 has joined the party

[iverglas]

Uh, this party here, that is, not the NDP.

For the auslanders: The Liberal Party is Canada! Canada is the Liberal Party! If you don't vote Liberal, the big bad wolf will get you!

That about sums it up.

Me, I live in a riding with an NDP member who had a very health plurality (three-way split) in the last election. The Liberals were second.

If NDP voters fell for the scare tactics being mongered here and voted Liberal, supposedly to make sure that the (third-place) Conservative didn't win, they could very well end up splitting the Liberal and NDP votes evenly and letting the Conservative win up the middle.

That's how much the Liberals really care about Canada.

About as much as they cared when they were siphoning off the public funds paid to advertising agencies in Quebec to do nothing ... except make donations back to the Liberal Party.

Then there's long-time PM-in-waiting and then, finally, briefly PM Paul Martin, who, when Finance Minister, arranged the offshore tax-haven provisions in Cdn income tax law to protect his own private Caribbean tax haven from Cdn taxes, the better to operate his huge shipping corporation to his own advantage, at the cost of millions to the rest of the taxpaying public.

Corruption, thy party is Liberal.

The Liberal Party trades on its "social liberal" public image -- the party of Pierre Trudeau, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the state not belonging in the bedrooms of the nation.

Many people today don't remember that Pierre Trudeau also brought us "wage and price controls" in the 1970s. Well. Wage controls, anyhow. "Social liberal" because what do a transnational corporation and its political cronies and operatives really care about who sleeps with whom? As long as the profits aren't disturbed. These people are smarter than Republicans.

Just yr classic wolf in sheep's clothing, that's the Liberals. And they're just not as good at the act as they used to be.

Me, I'm actually not too happy about it. They do have a responsibility to offer an alternative to the vile Stephen Harper Conservatives. There are people and places in Canada that just won't be voting NDP in this lifetime, and I actually prefer to see them not go Conservative in the present circumstances.

What really disgusts me is watching the shills and hacks blaming everybody but the Liberals for the Liberals' own abject failure.
