Sorry, but I'm a bit tired of getting upset at the WIDESPREAD reaction, rather than the source itself, which just speaks to why this individual is a BAD choice for President. We don't need a media hound with all kinds of public opinions, we need a behind the scenes builder. It's not "we", it's the media and they will eat up every controversial word uttered, regardless of whether your or I give it any oxygen.Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-87134555157923148182011-11-15T23:46:32.530-05:002011-11-15T23:46:32.530-05:00Our enemies love to see us smacking the mirror.

The party is going through severe turbulence and if someone's got an opinion on leadership i'm not going to blast them for sharing. I just think that as we evolve how we select the next leader, the configuration will insure that all those old, Chretien v Turner wars angles will be such dust. We're just making it easy to pay much attention to it. In other words, if Copps opinion distresses you so, contact her, and/or don't vote for her!<br />Rae will be closing on 70 soon and as someone who supported him the past two leadership races, well in 2006 race anyways, I seriously don't see why or how he could run, never mind win. Only if we paralyze the rebuilding process and scare off all other legitimate challengers -- and there's a healthy handful right now ...rockfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835472375196889875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-58039860290685565962011-11-15T16:01:39.056-05:002011-11-15T16:01:39.056-05:00Agreed that Rae's candidacy isn't the bigg...Agreed that Rae's candidacy isn't the biggest problem the party faces.

Those who think the two can never be linked should only look at the lost-at-sea version that's occurring with the Loyal Opposition and its 'temporary interim leader'... At some time, those who envision conspiracy theories behind every motive of leadership should check their mirrors for elvis sightings.rockfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835472375196889875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-12048185910470514762011-11-14T22:50:37.210-05:002011-11-14T22:50:37.210-05:00I like Shelia Copps and I never vote Liberal.I like Shelia Copps and I never vote Liberal.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314193532768891832noreply@blogger.com
