One of the front runners is a guy who I wouldn't trust to lead my dog around the block never mind lead the country: Bob Rae Find out why. _________________ Time is on the side of the oppressed today, it's against the oppressor.

I distributed a link to Rae's Secret life. If I'm not mistaken, this article will add a whole new dimension to the discussion.

That the pm's motion doesn't address or include anything of consequence pretty much makes it benign, no harm done if it passes as is, what's the big deal?

Not sure how I feel about the winner, Stephane Dion (that's Stefan, not Stephanie for those who aren't up to speed on Canadian politics) but I must say that I'm very, very pleased that Bob the putana came in third. Back to the corporate law office with you Bobby! But the genie's out of the bottle now. Don't think we won't keep exposing your bedside encounters with the likes of Evans, Mancinelli and others. You should have just stayed in your hole. _________________ Time is on the side of the oppressed today, it's against the oppressor.

I did hear one of the anchors mention that Rae would be on Newmans Politics program but I didn't catch a date and assumed it would that be the same days <don_newman>brooooooaaaadcast</don_newman>. _________________ The PG is your friend.

Although, when you think about the party leader selection process it's really a big old coin toss and I'm still astounded they play it out in public. I really don't believe the party divisions go into it not knowing who their second and/or third pick will be. Nor that it's known to or shared information between the party divisions, obviously not. Which makes it all kind of clique_within_a_clique_ish. And I have no idea how that (the leader game) then translates to party unity or why it's generally accepted as unity. If we go by the press coverage of the event, I didn't see a party united, I saw a multi-contender cock-fight, with all the blood and gore. Rae's little I'm not playing tantrum after he was soundly rejected just one example. Clearly it was a knife in his old friend Ignatieff's back. is that in party interest or was it pure revenge? As much as it was a gamble on rae's part to leave his supporters to 'freely choose', he had nothing to lose. Do the 'losers' put their convictions on the back burner? How much support can there be on the loser's part for the winner's platform? Not that it matters but what a public display. I think some of the front runners were a breath of fresh air, but the liberal party is still the liberal party with all it's deceitful baggage. If one bad apple can spoil a barrel, just think what 7 bad and revengeful apples can and will do. Now come the next election, my choice is still - which barrel? _________________ Free speech is the whole thing, the whole ball game. Free speech is life itself. - Salman Rushdie
