Voting for Clark

[Veovis]

Adrian Dix said no to Kinder Morgan and no to LNG.
Environmentally sound...or do you like more forest fires?

Clark has done nothing with either of the above.

But if you vote for a loser third party, you will get Clark again.

NDP is the only choice and at least has an environmental conscience.

A lot of people find that being environmentally conscience works a lot better when you are employed and Dix would have doubled our unemployment rate with the vague plans (released 0 actual measurable policies).

True when you sit very comfortably paid on a government funded pension it is easy to judge those that need work, but when supporters cares nothing for the people of BC and more about a tree, you know it likely isn't a party to support.

The same bad plans, with no actual policy and measurable outcomes, the "we aren't Christy NO NO NO" campaign will be as effective as the last time, and the time before that, and the time....etc etc

heres to hoping the rightie tightiewads have a crisis of indecision - as they battle their A.D.D intellect scrounging over what right wing party to support. if they split the vote that would be great. because heaven knows they cant vote NDP. that in their eyes would be stupid.....

[hobbyguy]

sooper - you fail to realize that governing never works when done from the perspective of an ideological orthodoxy.

The BC NDP have demonstrated that whenever they move toward pragmatic and realistic policies, they can NOT stand it. They stabbed Mike Harcourt in the back for doing it, and they stabbed Carole James in the back for doing it...

So we know that the BC NDP is dominated by a far left ideological orthodoxy that will rear up and quash any reasonable policies. We have seen it 3 times. Once bitten, twice shy, twice bitten, thrice shy etc. for rational voters. Especially when the likes of Adrian Dix and Jenny Kwan are firmly entrenched in the party.

The BC Conservative party attracted a lot interest last go round - until folks realized that they were dominated by a far right ideological orthodoxy - and then the support vanished.

You can not win from the far right, and you can not win from the far left. And that leaves a vacuum that will allow the BC Libs to continue as a center right party in government.

there comes a time when the left has to be satisfied being the left. the labor party in the UK has resoundingly decided this 2 times in the last year. the last one a coup attempt by the "blairites" in the party. i personally dont want a whitewashed right wing party or a centrist party that kisses peoples *bleep* just to have power. the NDP has been in power before and they will eventually again. people can only stand the status quo and getting shafted for so long. ask alberta.

[sooperphreek]

oh by the way. i enjoyed seeing this. *bleep* off and take your photo ops somewhere else!

Pretty well says it all...from above....

"[Clark] doesn't represent what we believe in. We thought the support was there, and the support is not there"

[Urbane]

Obviously the prime minister isn't welcome there either. I don't think it's helpful to take that approach, i.e. I disagree with you so stay away from here. It's immature, rude, and counterproductive.

[sooperphreek]

why exactly was she needed there? to talk about hollow victories and toot her own horn?

Heads of state travel with the royalty in their areas, at a time of such a royal visit you should use the exposure for beneficial comments and beneficial attention, not petty comments.....to do so makes the rest of the country/world see you as petty not as a group that deserves something.

This "hatred toward Clark" is EXACTLT that..........towards her. You go on to say "give us the name of the party you would vote for".........do you ever think that her and the party can be separated? Personally I cannot stomach ANYTHING about this POS human being..........she has ZERO to offer any of us and has scandals piled up wherever she goes. She is out for herself.........PERIOD! Due to a lack of any of the other provincial Liberals having ANY interest in the Premiers position, here comes the uneducated mouth piece that CANNOT win a seat on her OWN but has to be "parachuted" into a riding.

[rustled]

Gee, I wonder why there aren't more good people wanting to run for premier.

Absolutely correct, a person can easily be a BC Liberal supporter and despise Christy Clark at the same time.
