Ahhh yes, the famous words of the renowned Forrest Gump. Amazing how this "simpleton" seemed to display more intelligence than the average lackey we call the Liberal supporter. Now before you get your knicker's in a knot at least hear me out on this. With a potential election looming closer and the Liberal party of Canada back at 40% in the polls it begs the question, "Just how stupid are those who vote Liberal?" Consider my following 16 point presentation. What I am about to present is a quick overview of the last decade of Liberal rule and ALL those things we pathetically complacent and apathetic Canadian's either forget or willfully bury our head's in the sand about. Keeping in mind all of you Paul Martin supporter's who are decieved into believing that Paul represent's a "New government", that he is the same indvidual who was responsible for co-authoring the now famous Liberal "Red book" thereby making him just as responsible for all the "Promise's made, promise's then denied" during the tyrannical reign of the evil dark lord Jean Chretien. If by the time you get to the end of this list you would still vote Liberal, then YES I question your mentality. Alright here we go:
1)The PROMISE to eliminate the GST. Still waiting.
2.)Accountability on the HRDC's billion dollar boondoggle. Still waiting.
3.) Promised to end child poverty by the year 2000. (In fact it is on the rise.) Still waiting.
4.) The two million dollar gun registry that has now ballooned to 2 BILLION dollars and counting. Allan Rock, Anne McCellan, and Paul Martin have never answered to or been able to justify this insane amount of money to Canadians. Nor have they accepted any responibility for allowing it to get where it is at today. Crime has continued to escalate not decrease as they promised. Still waiting.
5.) The promise to improve our health care system, a system that was finacially "gutted" by guess who? Yours truly Paul Martin. He has now PROMISED to fix the very problem that he created. Still waiting.
6.)Investment in our military...with 40 year old helicopters falling out of the sky, leaking firetraps for submarines, green combat fatigues for desert oriented operations, Tonka toys for jeeps, and the fact that we have to call the US President to fly our troops over seas and their equipment(how embarassing) I would say we are ...Still waiting.
7.) National daycare program(not that we need one), they have been promising that one for 12 years during every pre-election campaign. Still waiting.
8.) How about one of the classic's from three years ago when Stockwell Day stood up in parliament with the Liberal red book and read from the section that promised to appoint an independent ethics commissioner to the house. Stockwell said he and the Opposition fully agreed with the Liberals and motioned to implement this red book promise. Paul martin was one of the first ministers to stand up and vote AGAINST his own promise. So now we are...Still waiting.
9.)The promise to protect and uphold the traditional definition of marriage. Paul claims a sudden change of heart after talking with a friend's daughter who is gay. That sounds an awful lot like Jean Chretien's BS story about his "homeless buddy". For the record, Paul Martin was given NO mandate by the Canadian people to redefine marrige. Bill C-38 translated is FORCED ACCEPTANCE upon the will of the people when poll after poll suggested that almost 70% of Canadian's were opposed to redefining marriage.
10.) Another classic from last year, Paul Martin's PROMISE to get to the bottom of the sponsorship scandal because he was "mad as hell" and that no election would be called until the Gomery commission had completed it's mandate. He then shut down the commission and called an election. Today we are still waiting.
11.)The Promise that same-sex marriage will not affect those with religious convictions because they are protected under the charter. Meanwhile Marriage commissioners(Manitoba, Saskatchewan) are being forced out of their jobs and clergy are being threatened with their tax charitable status being removed(Bishop Fred Henry, Calgary) if they speak out against the government's position on same sex marriage to their congregations. Paul's cowardly response..it's a provincial jurisdiction. So much for his precious charter.
12.) Gas taxes. Remember , by Paul's own admission, that for a period of at least three years not one single penny from gas taxes was invested in our crumbling highways. Was it paid back to us? No. Were we given a break when the price of fuel went up, considering our taxes were not going where they were supposed to any way? No. Where did the money collected go? Probably Quebec. Accountability on this issue? Still waiting.
13.) Now we have the infamous sponsorship scandal. Paul says "he knew nothing" even though he met with the accused (Alfonso Galigano and Chuck Guite) on a weekly basis. Keep in mind that he was not only the Minister of Finance but he was also the Vice-President of the Treasury Board. Guess what they do? Every dollar that is spent must first pass by their board for inquiry of what the funds are being requested for. After that it is up to the board to refuse or APPROVE funding but they will do neither until they have FULL KNOWLEDGE of what the money is for and where it is going. Paul Martin knew and know's all about the sponsorship scandal. He was a a part of it.
14.)Remember Paul Martin said that those responsible(for Adscam) "...would be punished severly". We just witnessed how severe it was recently when one of the infamous ad executive's, Paul Coffin, who was responsible for STEALING 1.5 million of your tax paying dollars ONLY had to pay back 1 million of it with no time in jail. If you the taxpayer owed the Federal Government as little as $150.00 in income tax but refused to pay it, you would do time in a Federal Penitentary on charges of tax evasion!
15.) Back to those gas taxes. With rapidly accelerating gas prices at the pumps due to hurricane's Katrina & Rita(yeah right...) Has your everloving Prime Minister done anything to ease the burden at the pump's? Let me demonstrate just how much he cares for his fellow Canadian's. Right now across the country there is a 1.5% tax on your fuel called the "Deficit reduction tax". The Liberals implemented this tax about 12 years ago to help wipe out the deficit and PROMISED to remove it once it was eliminated. NEWSFLASH!!!!! According to Paul Martin the deficit was eliminated...are you ready....8 YEARS AGO!!!! But he still cannot take his tight little fist's off our money. Not even when time's are tough.
16.) Let us also not forget(although if your Canadian, you probably will) his most recent promise to eliminate the "Democratic deficit". Back inthe spring (2005) Paul appointed a review committee, loaded with Liberals of course, to interview his losing candidate buddy Glen Murray for a top position in the Federal Government Enviormental Department. During the interview process, Glen Murray confessed to the committee he had very little knowledge of the position or the enviorment for that matter. With that information the committee refused his appointment. What did our democratically conscious Prime Minister do? He overrode the committee's decision and appointed Mr. Murray anyway. Atta boy Paul, very dictorial...uh I mean democratic of you.
This is the man Ontairo keep's putting back into power. Despite all the corruption of power, abuse, waste and mismangement of taxpayer dollars. These guy's make the Sopranoes look like a gentleman's club! Yet it's the same old tired position of the brainwashed out east.."What's the alternative?" they ask. How about taking a lesson from Quebec! That's right I said Quebec. Most Quebeceer's don't want seperation but they were willing to plug their noses on election day and vote for a seperatist party just to send the Liberals a powerful message that they don't approve of the way the Liberals are running, sorry ruining, the country. As sad as it is I must say the next election is already predictable. Despite a very dismal track record, one in which the Liberals cannot run a successful campaign on, they must then rely on the "peabrains" out east to fall for the all too predictable Liberal tactic...you know the one don't ya? The one where Paul Martin avoids all the above mentioned and tells you that the leader of the opposition is the boogey man. You easterner's, or ANY Liberal supporter for that matter, fall for it EVERYTIME. Stupid is as stupid does. Until next time...
