    Nice cop-out Dion. Just get a backbone and tell everyone you'd prefer that May not be incuded. Sheesh.. I'd respect him more if he wasn't such a weakling.

    Thank God. The Green Party is not a real party, it's just a interest group.

    I may not care for the Green Party, but you have to admit May's got moxie.

    So you respect those that take a strong, principled stand against democracy?

    When is this woman going to give it up. Christ they still haven't even gotten one single person elected to parliament so what business do they have in a debate? Just because one MP crosses the floor and joins them it doesn't mean they're automatically entitled to be part of the debates. If that were the case every independent MP should be invited to them as well.

    It should be official parties only that take part in debates, that means 13 MP's or more (I think it's 13 MP's to be considered an official party but correct me if I'm wrong).

    As is the Bloc.

    Oh, you must be confused. I didn't make any comment that suggests such a thing. That's ok, it happens to all of us. We're only human. Have a good day.

    You're right. I must be mistaken. I didn't realize that a consortium of unelected, unaccountable media heads deciding who will and who won't be allowed to speak based on the threats of a leader's opponenets was such a fundamental part of a thriving democracy.

    Who, by the way, also got in their first debate based on floor-crossing.

    I didn't realize that's what the NDP and Liberals stood for. My goodness, hurley. Thank you for bringing that to our attention.

    I see you're conveniently ignoring Harper's juvenile and hypocritical bluster about how it would be so unfair for May to be allowed in the debate.

    Harpers head put on Dions body. A little juvenile for my taste. It makes it difficult to take you seriously now.

    That's okay. Your ignorance and bias make you difficult to take seriously, so I guess we're even.

    Please, no need to be upset. I know it's frustrating for you. I don't mind if you need to release your anger by attacking me personally. But it just isn't healthy for you to let your blood presure rise. Mabey you just need to eat a light snack. Have a good day.
