Well this is where we truly differ. I have huge issues with individuals acting unethically. When it comes to our money; there should be checks and balances to insure that this type of thing cannot happen.
So yes, Chretien and Martin let us down miserably in that area.
What you are saying amounts to; "They delivered so well, who cares if they filtered a little off for themselves."

No, this is where you're twisting my words. I never said everything was fine if they "filtered a little off for themselves." I just think that it is foolish to paint the entire Liberal membership with the same brush because of the actions of a few.
I also think that the record of Chretien and Martin fiscally and the Adscam issue are totally separate. I have enormous issues with people acting unethically, and there ought to be checks and balances when dealing with money...we actually agree on more than where we disagree.
I have a hard time saying that the Liberals are any more unethical than the Conservatives though, given the electoral financing scandal that they were involved in. I know that we are not talking about the same amount of money, but ethics are ethics in either case.
