Scoring Winger

I wonder what the actual breakdown was. The 300,000 confirmed by Elections Alberta divides evenly into 30,000 but 430,000 doesn't.

First Lady has been / is involved with the Wild Rose party.
I believe she has more of an agenda than Muta or Valo does.

Everyone in a political thread has an agenda, you included.
Don't know why you need someone to jump up and admit they have an agenda, everyone in this thread is being pretty transparent. Obvious must not be obvious enough for you that you need get confirmation.

It's completely obvious. I want her to admit it and always have (you obviously don't know the history with her threads, so I'll let that slide for you this time). If she believes so strongly in her political values, what's wrong with asking if she has an agenda? Why hide that? Is she embarassed?

That was a rhetorical question, I'm surprised you didn't understand that.

I think this is the tweet you are referring to
https://twitter.com/JacobSpirit1
which references this from the Edm Journal:
http://www.edmontonjournal.com/news/...ons/table.html
however, there is no timeline associated with the donations; doubtful he has anything

I want to be the first to stand up and admit I have an agenda... and guess what... I'm not even a card carrying member of the WildRose Party or the Conservative Party!!!
There you go all you people who believe its up to you to expose people with (gasp!!!) agendas.
How shocking that someone who creates or posts in a political thread has an agenda!!

I've never seen someone with such an obvious agenda so upset about someone else's agenda.

FL is a perpetual propaganda pedlar, purposefully pushing her political propensities.
I too have an agenda.

I have no agenda, I couldn't tell you a single detail about either the WR or PC platforms as I haven't been in Alberta for more than a few days in the last 6 years. The only thing I took issue with was the choice to go for the scandalous headline for the post and then throw in the "I think the real story is..." garbage on the second page. If you think that's the real story than lead with that, otherwise admit that you're going to for the smear campaign. The 'oh, who me?' and other garbage tactics are what annoy me.

Whooosh! Wow, oblivious.
I am familiar with the history so I don't need your pat on the head.
Lets all just state our agendas clearly and plainly here for those that have trouble keeping up. Muta first.

Everyone has an agenda, of course.
Which is why I don't see why calling someone out on it is really relevant, especially if they are 100% transparent about it.
First Lady is a Wildrose supporter! News of the decade here, folks. In other news, MMF and Bertuzzied have hard-ons for Android and Slava is a dirty socialist.

Ok, I am a wildrose supporter and so is FL. Earth shattering news.
Why don't you get that the only one that needs this clarification is you.
My agenda is just as obvious as everyone elses. Clearly stating it is just dumbing it down for those that don't already get it.

You can't seem to let it go and will most likey hound her till you get the answer you want.

Is he being accused of donating money in the past to a party that no longer exists. That accusation being used to shine a negative light on a party that he no longer has anything to do with.
According to that list, of the 70 largest donors to Alberta political parties only 6 of them gave more money to the Wildrose than any other party. 59 of the donors on that list gave more to the PC's than any other party.
