[ This part, I`m also ok with, in theory. But it`s the way it was implemented that was meanspirited. As I already said, in an earlier post, that I can see some of the arguments behind doing it, but not in how it was done. The truth of the matter is that the Tories were better at raising...

QUOTE (JohnS @ Nov 30 2008, 08:45 PM) I wasn`t arguing that they shouldn`t get better at it - far from it. What I was saying, and what nobody seemed able to refute, is that it just isn`t fair to strip your opponents of the ability to argue against you. In a democracy, we`re supposed to examine...

QUOTE (DonCampbell @ Oct 10 2008, 07:44 AM) The sad part is that the parties know that FEAR makes people make poor decisions - so they are stirring up the fear, making the economic situation WORSE by doing so. No, why would anyone vote for someone who wants to DESTABILIZE a country in time of...

QUOTE (GarthChapman @ Oct 10 2008, 01:39 PM) If enough of us worry about this maybe enough of us will actually get out and vote, and thereby make sure the Liberals do not form the next government. Maybe we could even get a Conservative majority. The key thing here is that WE NEED TO GET OUT THE...
