COMMENT POSTED TO A COLUMN IN THE NATIONAL POST
Christie Blatchford seems to have become The Conservatives’
chief apologist.
Her apology here though seems totally unneeded.
I believe in these two cases of dropped candidates, the
bone-headed people involved would have made perfect Conservative candidates.
Pranks? Isn't this the party of robo-calls and frat-boy
negative advertising?
Isn't this the party of never telling the truth to people?
Of never giving a straight answer?
The party of not complying with officials attempting to
investigate misdeeds?
The party of hiding the many stupid things it has done?
The party of Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin, Nigel Wright, and
other charmers?
The party of slavishly catering to special interests?
The party of giving the finger to many of the world's
serious concerns?
The party of John Baird who resembles nothing so much as a
mad dog when he argues with people?
The party of Peter MacKay, a man who had an affair with a subordinate,
later harassed her and called her a dog in public, and then lied about it as
well as a man who has demonstrated incompetence in almost every portfolio in
the cabinet?
The party of the absolute thug, Patrick Brazeau?
The party of Maxime Bernier, who left top secret NATO papers
at his biker girlfriend’s house for weeks?
The party of Pierre
Poilievre, perhaps the most seriously twisted sister ever in Parliament?
I just cannot believe what an opportunity the party has missed
with these two new fellows, each surely potential minister material.
