Canadians...my well researched rant against the Liberal Party

[Lincoln]

The Liberals - Just like putty in my hands
 
Is there any doubt now that the Liberals are the most wishy-washy party around? The NDP may have sold out its roots, but at least it has been consistent. The Liberals however change clothes and go much like that terrible song that plagued the airwaves a few years back.
 
Firstly, reference an entry I made a few weeks ago regarding Mssr. Martin on Iraq. (See below) That's one of the most recent in the last 12 years. Let's use another recent example, the 2004 election. Paul said " "health care, not tax cuts are our first priority" (http://paulmartintime.ca/archive/) and that Canada could not afford the tax cuts proposed by Mssr. Harper, stating some sort of $50 Billion gap, a number our good ol PM pulled out of thin air.
 
Oh here's a classic one!!!  "For years governments have been promising more than they can deliver, and delivering more than they can afford. "  (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/p/paul_martin.html) Then Paulie went on to spend like a drunker sailor. I'm sure this had nothing to do with being pre-election.
 
Oh here's another good one:  “We were caught in a trap of our own making - a vicious circle in which our chronic deficits contributed to economic lethargy, which in turn contributed to even higher deficits, and then to greater malaise.” (http://en.thinkexist.com/quotes/paul_martin/2.html)  But there's no such thing as the fiscal imbalance, is there Mr. Martin?
 
I love this  “The achievements we forge in this place and in our nation will not be those of one person or one party. " (http://en.thinkexist.com/quotes/paul_martin/2.html) Yet Paul continues to assert that the Liberals are the only party that can save Canada from the seperatist threat.
 
Oh how's this?  "I, Paul Martin, do solemnly and sincerely promise and swear that I will truly and faithfully, and to the best of my skill and knowledge, execute the power and trusts reposed in me as prime minister of Canada. So help me God." (http://paulmartintime.ca/quotes/) Self explanatory.
 
Paul wants us to trust that he'll keep his campaign on real promises, just look at how much he followed up on his 1993 platform:  "Screw the Red Book... Don't tell me what's in the Red Book. I wrote the goddamned thing. And I know that it's a lot of crap." ( http://paulmartintime.ca/quotes/) What an honest person!
 
Let's look at the man whom Martin served under for 9 years in Cabinet, John Christian or as you may know him, Jean Chretien.
 
Here's a good one to start:  "We hate the GST and we will kill it" (http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Jean_Chr%C3%A9tien) And they did a great job with it!!
 
Oh I love this;  “We must never, ever, lose our social conscience.” (http://www.mapleleafweb.com/features/party/liberal/chretien/chretiens-view.html) And this has really manifested!
 
This was once true until we learned the truth:  “Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than the knowledge that we have prevailed in Quebec.” (http://www.mapleleafweb.com/features/party/liberal/chretien/chretiens-view.html) Well when Quebecers found out what was really going on, that all changed...
 
Again, great:  "I'm the Prime Minister of a country of 28 million, he's the President of a country with 1.2 billion. I can't tell the Premier of Quebec or Manitoba what to do, how can I tell him what to do? Sometimes you just don't have enough influence." (http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Jean_Chretien) Unless it comes to areas that are under their constitutional jurisdiction, like health care.
 
This comes from Jean, the status quo federalist:  "French-Canadians are 'martyrs' and have been 'humiliated' by the English." (http://www.saltspring.com/bobmcginn/jean_cretien.htm) Sounds more like Lucien Bouchard, Jean shows his true feelings towards English Canadians. What about those who are French Canadian and English background like myself? No wonder I'm always at war with myself.
 
He claimed often that Canada was the greatest country in the world:  "Obviously, I would have been happier if Canada had not been conquered in the past by the English, if this part of North America had remained French, but you can't rewrite history."  (http://www.saltspring.com/bobmcginn/jean_cretien.htm) But he would rather it be a completely different country.
 
 Good one from the autocrat: "I am a public person in a very diverse society, and I don't think I can impose every limit of my morality on others, because I don't want others to impose their morality on me." (http://www.aldeism.com/quotes.html) Most people agree it is immoral to murder one's fellow human being - but according to Jean, it's wrong to impose that morality on others.
 
A flip and a flop from a prominent Liberal:  "... we're not interested in confiscating their guns, as long as they are legitimate gun owners, as long as they store them appropriately, transport them appropriately and so on ..." (http://www.whyfor.com/firearm/quotes.html) Wow did that ever change. Well, when's there's a election.....
 
 
The fact is the Liberals are weak and have no principles. Don't give them credit for slaying the deficit; they saw that the Reform Party had a huge raise in the polls just before, so the stole their ideas. Then they stood with Manning's party in 1999 to affirm that marriage between a man and a woman remain that way and then suddenly decided it was a Charter right. They set themselves as the only party to defend a united Canada, yet before Sheila Fraser unearthed the sponsorship scandal the Bloc was almost a done deal. That obviously changed. They claim to be the only true saviours of medicare; Paul Martin still uses his private Montreal clinic. Martin claims fighting seperatism is in his DNA, yet Harper actually had more of a role in the 1995 referendum as a Reform MP than Martin's absolute zero input. They claim credit for the clarity act; it was actually Stephen Harper's private member's bill from 1995 which was adopted by the Chretien Cabinet. I could go on if I wanted to research more quotes, look for part 2. Remember this:
 
 Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. -- Buddha
 
Is it really reasonable and in common sense to re-elect the Liberals?
 
Michael Lincoln


May I quote Paul Martin?
 
 
"I really think Canada should get over to Iraq as quickly as possible." - (Paul Martin, North Bay Nugget, April 30, 2003).

"I don’t think there is any doubt, if there ever was… that [Saddam Hussein] does have weapons of mass destruction. …he had lied and that he is continuing to lie" - (Paul Martin, Calgary Herald, March 7, 2003)

"The problem is...we know well that there is proliferation of nuclear weapons and that many of the weapons that Saddam Hussein had, for example, we do not know where they are, so that means the terrorists have access to all that." - (Paul Martin, Globe and Mail, May 11, 2004)

 

In addition, Michael Ignattief is one of his so called "star" candidates.

Hypocrite? I think so.

Blasting the Liberals is a real easy task after 13 years of foolishness.

Is it really reasonable and in common sense to re-elect the Liberals?

Not in my mind but I'm just an intelligent, responsible, law-biding, hard-working citizen...re-electing the Liberals does not make sense for me and is not in my best interest.  Electing the Liberals makes sense for criminals, the irresponsible, the lazy and people that like the pretty colour red.

I quit federal politics, I don't care anymore.  It's ALL false promises, I don't want to be involved in it anymore.  No matter who is in power, it won't affect me.  I'm focusing on provincial now. 


I'm still gonna vote conservative tho.

I don't mind.  They are just making "shocking" statements to make news and a name for themselves.  Some of it has a bit of truth and obviously some of it is very absurd.
