Keith, is it really necessary to respond line-by-line to a post like what I posted?? I think not.
Come on, the Green vote is totally pointless with the choices Canadians have. My opinion isn't changed.
If you are afraid Liberals don't really care about public health, vote NDP. If you aren't for public health, vote Harper. If you like the results of the Martin Health Accord and other Liberal funding methods to maintain the system, vote for Dion. If health care isn't your top issue, look at other policies. You've got some real choices. To throw that away on a Green vote just seems like a joke.
*edit*
And in regards to health care, it was Martin that forged the Health Care Accord, Martin being to the right of many Liberals. And if you ever get upset at the Liberals there is the NDP to consider at times when Liberals really have lost their way. I don't see the Dion Liberals have lost their way, they just don't have a campaign-centric eloquent speaker in Stephane Dion. Dion has his personality pitfalls, but he has a new vision for the Liberals that is quite positive and a fresh face compared with the past.
The bitter irony is that Martin damaged the Liberal party by opening up sponsorship and having it openly investigated trying to "redeem" his party. Instead he created a wound that is going to last for years, as if the party is nothing BUT corruption. So ironic that a movement to open up wrongs and make them right has branded the party into total corruption.
Harper has swept more corruption under the rug in his barely 3 years from his campaign finance trade system where he transferred illegal funds to certain ridings and back to other accounts to his buyout of certain individuals like the Cadman affair than anything that happened under Martin by far.
As far as history, you'll never take the Chretien or the Trudeau out of the Liberals, the history is there, so quit voting against something you supposedly support... If you indeed are a Liberal leaning voter.
I can't stand it when people say they would otherwise vote Liberal if the party wasn't filled with Liberals. Its almost like you're a paid Conservative staffer who blogs and posts pointlessly hoping to sway the last vote. I can't vote, I'm just waiting for my chance to be Canadian some day, but I still find it humorous.
