A true Conservative should be outraged at this soon-to-be buying of votes out east. This is just preposterous and it really outlines the lack of partiality that many people seem to display here. I think that all the politicians are all liars and self-serving.

Not really. Conservatives are trying to get parlimentary votes, not population votes. And they only need one party to bite, not all of them. Many of the same general ideas will be in it, but it won't necessarily be identical. Conservatives are generally more cautious, wheras NDP (and lately liberals) seem to panic and throw away money without planning. As you've said many times: the conservatives need to compromise. But a compromise with one party to get one document passed generally is different that a party needing to give something in return for full loyalty of two other parties. Maybe in the end it will be exactly the same. But I doubt it. As far as the trusting politicians issue goes, I choose to trust the party that hasn't shown that they feel entitled to keep my money for themselves (both officially and by stealing).
