March - I'm aware you were using abortion as an example. I was as well. You can substitute abortion with any "moral" issue and the point holds.
It's also interesting that you would assume that the corrupt Liberals are no longer in politics. Pretty bold thing to assume, given that Paul Martin himself has been implicated.
I'll give you that your comments on the assumption of guilt of the entire Liberal party is fair, however we arent talking about fringe elements of the Liberal party pushing their agenda here.
Quite frankly, Jean Cretien was corrupt. His top aides were corrupt. Paul Martin, if he isnt equally corrupt is at least guilty of duplicity in the matters that went on. We are talking about the guys who run the country here because, quite frankly, individual MPs have no voice, especially in the Liberal Party. What the man in charge wants, the man in charge gets.
Corruption and criminal behaviour in the Liberal party went right up to the top. "Moral" issues that nobody really wants to deal with are not going to be pushed by those at the top rungs of the CPC. Even if Harper (and yes, Day) wanted to, it would be political suicide, as Canadians have no interest in opening such issues back up
