Therefore I cannot vote for him, as I am not going to vote for someone who does not have the courage to stand behind his ideas.
Full disclosure. I intend to vote Wildrose and I have donated to the Party. But this practice infuriates me to no end. The actions of Jim Hillyer in the last federal election were disgusting. I can understand warning and even training your candidates to avoid hypotheticals and "gotcha's" that the media can create but to avoid engaging with Albertans that you want to represent? That leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I *really* hope Solinger shows up to the all-candidates debate on Wednesday or I will be torn...
