Oh it does. So when you suggest this is 'the worst scandal in Canadian political history' or something to that effect, it's lame to to look back on history and compare this event to other scandals. You have quite interesting standards for what is lame.

Speaking of history ... I think your historical look at this string is a bit out of whack.
I didn't bring "history" up until this string was way off topic and into Stockwell Day. My point then as it is now, is deflection.
You can try to deflect my deflection comment by saying I opened the topic of history but that wouldn't be genuine.
But if you insinst on looking back I think many view this event as THE MOST CORRUPT in Canadian history nonetheless.[/b][/quote]
This may very well prove to be the "worst scandal in history" but I don't think it is fair to paint the whole party or all the current Liberal MPs as corrupt.
Truth be told, I don't think referring to ADSCAM as political corruption is right. It is/was a criminal conspiracy involving a small, but admitedly senior, group of Liberal insiders and senior government bureaucrats. I expect to see jail time for a number of people and wouldn't be surprised if Chretian is proven to have personally benefited from Ad money. But this government is not Chretians government.
Should they be kicked out because of the scandal. I don't think so. The policies of the Liberal party are more in line with my values and beliefs than those of the Harper's party. That is why they would get my vote.
That's what it comes down to for me.
