So the Liberals should just give in and tell everyone to vote Conservative?
Further, the Conservatives, who despite a STRONG desire to not make comments still do, but the Liberals should assume it is not a sign of the truthful feelings of the party but a series of mistakes and let it go?
If the Conservatives didn't constantly say things like this there wouldn't be a problem... yet they DO!
That is no ones fault but the Conservatives.... the fact the blame always has to be elsewhere (media, easterners, liberals) is a further sign of the problem and certainly not movement towards a solution...
It is also a sign of more Conservative hypocracy (something that despite your reluctance to pick up on IS picked up upon by eastern voters - those guys you need on your side to win an election.). All Liberals are stealing scum even though a small number of liberals were involved (along with CPC Bloc allies) and that is okay YET it is wrong to say that all CPC members are racists sexist pigs when only a small number insist on making comments?
The Liberals/press will stop taking issue with pervaisive Conservative prejudice the day the Conservatves/press stop taking issue with Liberal corruption - IE: Never...

I don't think anyone has argued that such comments are not a CPC problem. Nobody is blaming anyone else for a Conservative MP making a dumb comment - no matter how accurate or heartfelt it was.
The complaint is the hypocricy and the double standard that is being pushed, and that *is* the fault of the media.
Your suggestion that we are saying the Liberals should just say "vote conservative" is, in a word, stupid. In more words, it is inaccurate, illinformed and excessive hyperbole.
What I am saying, at least, is that the Liberals should refrain from throwing accusations at the Conservatives that they themselves are guilty of. However, they dont have to worry about it, as they are going to get a free pass where the Conservatives wont, and they know it.
