As I've experienced it, the "values" of present day "conservatives" are generally based on ignorance and delusion.<br /><br />Perhaps when he sees how easily these powerful men were prepared to make him suffer for their crimes, he might connect it to the selfishness and arrogance that both they and he rationalize by calling it Ayn Rand's "Objectivism."thwaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399550285738440669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-86256255028868085952012-03-15T12:07:21.937-04:002012-03-15T12:07:21.937-04:00It's interesting, isn't it, how all the pi...It's interesting, isn't it, how all the pieces -- with a little hind sight and perspective -- begin to fit.<br /><br />This isn't about a twenty-three year old kid from Guelph.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-42736002625065945562012-03-15T11:13:46.928-04:002012-03-15T11:13:46.928-04:00"rumours about Cadman being offered a quid pr..."rumours about Cadman being offered a quid pro quo for his vote."<br /><br />Rumours? There were tapes.<br /><br />I still have no idea why the RCMP refused to proceed with an investigation and then prosecution.<br /><br />There was a tape of the bribe offer itself with Cadman's wife testifying to its veracity. The Cons claimed it was edited, then claimed that the people in the tape weren't their operatives. The wife was ignored.<br /><br />Then there was apparently another tape (by the Globe & Mail I think) where a reporter got to Harper before the story broke. The talking points had not yet been perfected: Harper claimed that the Cons weren't offering Cadman insurance/money (obviously illegal), they were offering help with re-election. Oops! That type of "help" for votes is illegal under a different law.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
