Canada 2006 (23rd Jan)

[Lincoln Republican]

If the public continues to believe that Martin is not blameless for this scandal, then this totally shameless and poor excuse for a Prime Minister is toast, and well he should be.

The only principle that man who has no principles lives by is whatever he has to do to stay in power, lie, twist, distort, blame anyone and everyone else, he'll do it.

His motto, and the motto of his government is "Deny, Deny, Deny.  It's anybody else's fault but ours."

Martin is either lying, stupid, or incompetent.  Take your pick.

His motto, and the motto of his government is "Deny, Deny, Deny.  It's anybody else's fault but ours."

I'm having trouble seeing what Martin is denying.

RESPONSIBILITY!

Martin was Finance Minister and the senior minister from Quebec during the time all this rip off of taxpayers dollars by the Liberal Party of Canada was going on.

Like I said, Martin is either lying, stupid, or incompetent.  Take your pick.  You can choose up to three.

Anyone, please post your predictions, then we can see how close everyone comes to the actual results.

New Democrats      18 seats

Why do you think the NDP will lose seats?

My reasoning is that the NDP will be caught in the squeeze between the Conservatives and the Liberals, voters knowing the NDP cannot win, and mostly either voting Conservative for a change in government, or voting Liberal to keep the Conservatives out.

[Lincoln Republican]

I am changing my previous prediction of a Conservative minority now to a Conservative majority.

Conservative          158
Liberal                      70
Bloc Quebecois         59
New Democrat          21

Total                       308

Does anyone else think that this reeks of desperation?

Oh yes... look at this:

NHL Player Sues Liberal MP

Not only desperate, but absolutely pathetic.

Goodbye Paul Martin, you pompous, arrogant, cynical, do nothing, will say anything about anybody to get elected, "I want to be Prime Minister, but I don't know why," windbag.

And good riddance.
