Are you suggesting that a political scandal offered up by the LIBERALS, that is now reaching into the multi-millions of TAXPAYERS dollars, isnt enough for other people to consider an alternative party??
Wow.
Even if I wasnt a conservative leaning guy....this whole episode, (which is just so indicative of the entire Fiberal party IMO) would have me seriously looking at ANY other party than the one that is perpetrating this colossal and criminal rip-off of Canadians EVRYWHERE.
I didn't vote PC after the Mulroney years for much of the same reason...they didnt deserve to be returned to office. Period. Why is it different now just because the Fibs are the party?

No. What I'm saying is that those on the right accuse those who continue to support the Liberals of fearmongering and shifting the debate away from the sponsorship scandal to their perceived shortcomings of a potential CPC government. But the Conservative-backers are doing exactly the same thing. Rather than defending their own party, all they do is attack the Liberals.
So tell me why I should support the CPC based solely on their own merits, rather than resorting to the excuse "anybody is better than the Liberals".
I personally don't believe a Conservative government would be an improvement. I'm not the least bit happy about the scandal, but if a few million a year of defrauded tax revenue (which was all likely committed by individuals no longer part of the Martin government) is the cost I must pay to keep the CPC out of power, I'm more than willing to accept that. And I'm far from alone in that attitude. Perhaps conservative Canadians need to examine why it is that their party is so hated by many in the nation that even when their opponents steal taxpayers' money they're still willing to put up with them.
