I have a question for the conservatives, even though they are seemingly under-represented in this community. Maybe i'm just willfully blocking out any piercing critiques that i have read on liberal policy, being the hardcore pinko that i am, but it seems to me that there has been very little critique of liberal policy, at least in this forum. For the most part, criticism of liberal government, at least from what i have read, has focused on the sponsorship scandal and what a load of crooked bullshit that was, and i don't think anyone will disagree that it was a load of crooked bullshit. However, whereas the conservatives have been criticized on such issues as how financially unfeasible their platform is, and their seemingly negative stance concerning gay rights, very little has been said about how the liberals plan to run the country. The fact that conservatives always seem to be on the defensive in this community is, likely, part of the reason for this dearth of liberal criticism. Therefore, it only seems fair to give the conservatives a chance to go on the offensive, and, consequently, the liberals would get a chance to assume a defensive posture. I guess this could also take the form of a left-wing/right-wing debate, since i know there are still a lot of undecideds among us.
In any case, go nuts right wingers and post all of your scathing critiques, or point me in the direction of such critiques that were written elsewhere and tell me what an idiot i am for saying the liberals have only been criticized on past policy.
Incidentally, does anyone know of an active right-wing/conservative canadian community where i can be properly crucified for this comment? Hopefully, i will be one step closer to making a truly informed decision by the end of this. Thanx in advance.
