Let's be realistic.
Any of our politicians may be racist, homophobic or homosexual, or whatever and we may never know it. We can guess at their personal lives and feelings but we'll never really know these people. In the end, it really dosen't matter because I don't need to know them to trust them to do the right thing, say the right things and act the part I demand in a public figure.
If they can't understand the difference between what's acceptable in public and what's allowed in private then they probably lack the diciplen to do the job in the first place.
This guy got caught being stupid and he'll probably loose his seat and nomination. That's public life. Look at King Ralf for example. He was a big racist drunk but people kept electing him.. go figure.
Nice name calling there, tough guy

Distinctions you wouldn't make if the remarks were mad by a Liberal.
As for my name calling. You insult the Liberals, Liberal supporters, and Liberal public figures all the time.
You think its perfectly acceptable for you to insult Chretien, Martin, Dion yet cry when I do it to you?
Whats the matter? You can't take what you dish out?
