I somehow doubt you have even the slightest familiarity with the meaning of altruism, and the context in which you mention it here backs-up that assumption. Harper was, and is, committed to forming the best possible government: to represent the widest cross-section of Canadians with the most qualified people. He's done a pretty good job of it, but it must really burn that he can convince a qualified Liberal to help him govern.



I guess you're right, Harper lacks any selflessness, but in case you Don't know what altrusim means, here's the definition...

Altruism


Great so we've established that you can look-up definitions, even if you have a problem reading and/or understanding them. There was nothing selfless or altruistic in Harper accepting Emerson's offer to join his government. Nor was it meant to appear selfless or altruistic; nor did I imply or state that it was, or appeared to be, selfless or altruistic. Harper accepted Emerson's offer to: bring benefit to himself, his party and his government. At least you can say of the Harper/Emerson debate that Harper didn't spend two and a half weeks wooing an unskilled, unqualified, inexperienced, cry-babying bimbo in order to have an extra hand to win an unpopular vote. And Emerson can brag that his loyalty did not come for the price of being assigned a portfolio which the Liberal Party had a habit of filling with ethically-clueless Bimbos.

bootlegga bootlegga:
Personally, I don't care that Emerson switched parties.

Which, of course, is in no way contadicted by the fact that you continue to post on this subject and/or reply to other's posts on this subject.

bootlegga bootlegga:
But the total hypocrisy that Harper has shown is what rankles.

Harper never said that he wouldn't accept an MP from another party switching to his party, but he did say he wouldn't encourage it. Since Emerson came to Harper with the offer to switch sides, I fail to see where your accusation of 'hypocrisy' is accurate. I think what really rankles you is that Harper got someone with real value for his government, whereas the kind of Conservatives who switch to the LPC are either of the bimbo variety or those who use their sexual-orientation to delay an appointment with insignificance. Want me to post a link for a definition of hypocrisy or do you want to look it up yourself?

bootlegga bootlegga:
He bitched and moaned last year (during the election too) about accountability then does some backroom deal and gets a prominent Lib to switch sides.

Oh puhleeez! Are you so arrogant as to equate Emerson's defection with wanton lawbreaking and wormlike behavior which were the hallmarks of the federal Liberal party? Next you'll be telling us that your party's opposition status is a ballot error and has nothing to do with Canadians being fed-up with the way the LPC abused their power to pervert Parliamentary government, fill their pockets with stolen government funds, factionalize our society in ever smaller and more bitter pieces and in general hoist their middle finger at everything our government, our people and our country can, and do, stand for?

Of course if you weren't a card carrying member of the Bitter Losers Party, you would have put aside partisan rhetoric to consider whether what you criticize isn't better than the pack of criminals for which you remain an apologist.


I am an apologist?

You are, as long as you try to make an issue out the Emerson or Fortier appointments (which are both legal and ethical) as a means of deflecting attention from the maldroit manner in which the former Liberal governments engaged in criminal malfeasance and arrogantly subverted the purpose of government at every opportunity.

bootlegga bootlegga:
At least I have the balls to criticize my leader

And which leader would that be? The one that resigned but wants to remain co-leader (Martin), or the one who is co-leader but has stated he doesn't want to contest for sole leadership (Graham)? Let's face facts here buds, you can't criticize what doesn't exist (i.e., Liberal leadership). Truth is, being recognized as the leader of the LPC is nothing if not an invitation for indictment. Guess that explains why no-one wants to be THE leader of the Liberals.

bootlegga bootlegga:
not be a purple kool-aid drinker like most of the Cons on this site
Truth be told, we prefer the blue kool-aid. The purple kool-aid has too much of the bitter red mixed into it.

bootlegga bootlegga:
...if the Libs had won the election and gotten some prominent Tory to cross the floor, you whiners would still be bitching about it!

But the fact is the Lib's lost. And so we're treated to their bleating about the Tory's doing something the Lib's have done many times, and whining that when the Tory's do it, it suddenly becomes unethical and unacceptable. Have you found the definition of hypocrisy yet?

GunPlumber GunPlumber:
I'd thank you for making it so easy, but your lame attempt wasn't even worth a waking effort.


Then why did you even bother replying?


Because I was half-way between awakedness and sleep, and wanting for something to do I decided that replying to your inane drivel would require less mental involvement that picking lint from out my navel.
