If a stupid person who believes stupid things is enough to disqualify an entire party, then honestly, there is no party that deserves a vote
There are going to be boneheads in all parties. Racists like Heidi Fry represent the Liberals. The NDP... well, I guess I would be a homophobic bigot if I stated a dislike for Svend Robinson. He certantly would call me one.
I dunno. I think a party should be judged by it's policy, not by it's extremists.

Fair enough if he was just a fringe extremist I'd never heard of, but he was the leader of the party and he's currently the Foreign Affairs critic. He would probably become a cabinet minister if the Conservatives were actually elected. [/b][/quote]
He was the leader of a party that doesnt exist. The CPC is considerably farther to the left than the CA was.
Your opinion is fair enough, however Day was an excellent finance minister in Klein's government, so I can't say I have much problem with him as a cabinet minister. He's not leadership material, which the CA found out the hard way, but his religious views arent really relevent in in the foreign affairs post.
