C'mon be fair Ikaris, both parties have their share of outright nut jobs that have to be controlled by the masses. Don't paint one party as having a radical fringe element without doing the same to the others.

Well you're right in that it's unfair for me to paint only the Conservatives in that light. I really believe that the majority of Conservatives do not share those values. It's frustrating though to see that Lee Richardson can still get elected here in Calgary (he would immediately have to resign if a comment like that was said anywhere east of Manitoba). That more speaks to the electorate though.

I know where you're coming from, I don't understand it either. Especially politically from a Liberals perspective. They were really in the "win" here after the Conservatives conceded so many points, easily could walk away now. It seems personal.
