Streaker Streaker:

The cheek of these clowns never ceases to amaze, eh?

For over twenty years they preached in the most holier-than-thou terms about how they would be above this, but, suddenly, when they're in power, everything is different.

A party of hypocrites.

Cmon Streaker.....jealous because the fringe party you dearly love will never get the chance.

Anyways gotta go, my bicycles waiting....

ridenrain ridenrain:

Looks like a fresh shipment of "rightious indignation" brand Kool-Aid came in for you guys. That sort of crap comming from you're side is damned funny.

We all said it's wrong, which is far more than you, Derby, have ever done. I doubt we'd find anything more than party BS if we went to the examples I mentioned.

The end to the story will be what the CPC do about it. If he dosen't have to pay for some or all of it, I'd be suprised and disapointed. If he was my MP, I might send him a letter or not vote for him.. but he's not.

Nope. You did what you always do and waggle your finger and say tsk tsk while launching a far worse attack on the Liberals. Exactly what we said. "Ya but the Libs....."


The kool-aid drinker is you and you guzzle it by the barrel.

[ridenrain]

Sorry Derby. All I'm hearing is skidding tires because you simply have no traction on this.
Show us where you came out against the Liberals use of the jets and we might listen.

We've said it's bad and we don't like it, and we're miles ahead of you for doing just that.

For example:
The right thing to do:

$1:

The Prime Minister's Office confirmed Thursday Harper had no meetings or other official business in Toronto on Wednesday.
"He just wanted to go to the game and he wanted to take his son,'' said his communications director, Sandra Buckler.

Harper paid for the tickets and the Conservative party will pick up the cost of the flights on government aircraft, she said.

Harper and his 10-year-old son Ben flew to Toronto aboard a Department of National Defence Challenger executive jet on Wednesday afternoon.

The wrong thing to do:

$1:

Paul Martin has been trying to justify his pre-election travel that used up to $1 million in air fare, using the government Challenger jet 26 times. His explanation, “I am not the prime minister of Parliament Hill, and I am the prime minister of all of Canada.” Yet, since the election he has curtailed travelling within Canada and much of his domestic trips have been to attend Liberal events. In the House of Commons Peter MacKay, MP (Central Nova) pressed Paul Martin on his spending habits. “Through access to information that of the 141 flights taken on the Challenger jet between January and July, over $71,000 was spent on food. That represents an average of $508 per flight, just less than the monthly grocery bill for a Nova Scotia family of four.” ... or how about

...

$1:

Prime Minister Paul Martin used the government's Challenger jet to attend a $5,000-a-head fundraiser dinner in Oakville, Ont., this year, documents show.
The March 30 fundraiser was at the $3-million home of Ajay Virmani, the owner of Starjet, a high end charter airline

Well we have to put this in perspective it is acceptable for Blackburn to fly to visit his riding. but let's see

68000 $ for 14 trip = 4857.14 $ per trip

Hmm was he bringing stripper along for the ride

You just don't seem to grasp the reality do you?

What you do is attack the person doing it very lightly when its the cons. You waggle your finger and scold softly when your guys do it and excuse the entire party.

When A Liberal does it suddenly its a bloody murder investigation followed by the blanket blaming of the Liberals.

Further more when the Liberals do investigate their own you simply dismiss it like you did when Paul Martin himslef called the inquiry into the sponsorship scandal.

You never ever hold both sides to the same level of fairness and accountability.

I do. You also keep quoting Liberal examples that happened many years ago and don't seem to remember that I did infact attack improper uses of tax payer money.

You just consider everything the Liberals did regardless of what it was as improper and scandalous so your credibility is zero especially considering your deplorable preformance in the SAR thread and YVR thread where I exposed your abject partisan hackery for all to see.

Now why don't you comment on the whole Stockwell day buying his election opponent off?

Didn't Harper campaign against stuff like this?

its laughable to read all these compalins suddenly from liberals over this quebec mp who comes from a remote northern riding using a government plane .

so your now willing to admit it was wrong for liberals to do the same thing ?

just as recently as a few weeks ago liberal premier dalton mcguinty used a government plane to fly from toronto to PEI for a partisan liberal event with liberal premier there .

or is it only wrong when a conservative does this ? cause we all know much you all love dalton and how we shouldn't dare say mean things about him.

I personally think it's wrong no matter who does it, but if the Cons are going to bitch hen the Liberals do it, why shouldn't the Liberals bitch when the Cons do it?

All you hypocrites can gnash you're teeth and set you're hair on fire but

but the thing is the liberals are still doing this same thing , dalton mcguinty is one of dion's biggest supporters .
mr mcguinty has been using governments planes to do all kind of things , such as short flights and flights to liberal party events .

so they can start complining when they stop doing the exact same things .
