I can't vote for either of them. I don't trust either of them.

If you want to paint the parties with broad strokes then I can't vote for the thieves or the gay intolerants.

Apparently you're as good at putting words in my mouth as I'm supposed to be at putting words in your mouth. It also strikes me that there is no one group that's more intolerant and vindictive than the gay community.

Call me intolerant for saying this if you want, but spokes people from the gay community willingly spread a lot of innuendo about anyone who gets in the way of their agenda with next-to-no facts, or at best manipulated facts, to back up their accusations. This article is just one example of these vicious attacks that are not substantiated.

I welcome anyone to do a historical review of Days' track record of homophobia and religious imposition on our community. Check it out folks, the Freedom trains baggage car overflows with extremism, homophobia, anti-poor and half-truths. In one meeting Day told me that being gay is a choice? Like I chose my blue eyes! Not just his words but his actions have proved that he is homophobic amd his much-touted track record confirms that. Not once, in any way did he support any Gay and Lesbian issue. He FOUGHT us every step of the way. He does not practice Politics of Respect as he suggests in his speech to the Alliance, quite the contrary.

Stockwell Day led the charge against the Gay and Lesbian Community during the Delwin Vriend Supreme Court case. We were in the eye of the judicial hurricane together. He showed his colours clearly and he prevents us from fostering children as in the Ms. T case. He was on the "Fence Building" committee to ensure legislative fences were built to prevent gay and lesbians from attaining the same level of equality enjoyed by other Albertans.

Stockwell Day and his Alliance party seem to believe that the fundamental issue of human rights should be put to a ballot. Where would Canada be today as a nation, if a vote were cast for and against minorities? All this said quite frankly, I am not surprised in the least to see him rise to lead the "Born Again Reform" party known as the Alliance. Mr. Days' views and the views of his party should be well known by all of you. The Alliance Party and those who are running are as far right as Canada has ever seen.
