The Party Of Comfy Fur

Wait till PETA hears about this. I sense trouble.

Fur? Time to smear it with red paint... or has that already been done?

why haven't the NDP jumped all over that quote? what will Jacko have to say tomorrow in QP...

as the stomach churns...

Who but Tim Murphy could so eloquently express the morally sad, craven center of Liberal Party politics: "Our welcome mat has a lot of comfy fur on it" - in other words, if you choose to enter the Liberal edifice, you will be personally rewarded.

(Insert bitter invective here)

cumfy fur? *hacks a hairball*
sheesh...
fyi

I kinda like this one:

TM--"I think we are looking (to) find a way for future truth"

That really says it all doesn't it?

Would that be a BC psychedelic fur, that tiny Dr. Tim is refering to? What's a pharmacopoeian pelt worth in Lieberal bribe currency?

I know Warren isnt a favourite around here, lord knows his Chretienaphilia is enough to bother me BUT.....

crdit were credit is due, he knows how to find a money quote.

Now whay cant Mr Norquay and the group get these rolled out. Other than WK the only people pulling out quotes in the media are Liberals....

Not a CPC concerted effort to be found anywhere. IS this a startegy to let the story build on its own? Are they afraid of whats on the tape, or are they just that bad at PR? Whassup?

Well at least you are now realizing that the main conclusion that can be drawn from this episode is that leading Tories are leaving a sinking ship

The PM summarizes the situation nicely in his
daily blog

To quote Robert DeNiro from Meet the Fokkers, it looks like Mr Grewal is outside the circle of trust now.

Hmmm - new message for the Liberal sign generator?

"Our welcome mat has a lot of comfy fur on it"

Does this sound familiar....

"From the book: Woodward "arrived at the garage at 1:30 a.m.

"Deep Throat was already there, smoking a cigarette. . . .

"On evenings such as these, Deep Throat had talked about how politics had infiltrated every corner of government -- a strong-arm takeover of the agencies by the Nixon White House. . . . He had once called it the 'switchblade mentality' -- and had referred to the willingness of the president's men to fight dirty and for keeps. . . "

switchblade mentality....that phrase just about catches it all.

I thought that Martin blog was a spoof site but whoever it is seems to have a good nose for the way they think. Could be a disgruntled insider

Re Grewal. Why don't we just throw the power grasping turncoat to the wolves rather than backing up his ludicrous story

The bottom line in the issue about the Grewal bribery tapes is that the Liberals talked to him for hours and hours using intentionally fuzzy language.

To me, it's a no-brainer to see that they were beating Grewal over the head, all but coming right out and telling him that he and his wife would be rewarded if they missed the vote.

If the Liberals weren't engaged in offering favours in exchange for missing the vote, they could have made that very clear in 10 seconds.

Telling Grewal that they weren't interested in his offer - if indeed you actually believe it was him that made the initial approach - would not have involved conversations with big wheels in the PMO, a senior Liberal Cabinet Minister, and messages from the Prime Minister.

Period.

But they didn't do that. All of these people spent a lot of time supposedly 'not offering' Grewal jobs and favours. They might be devious enough not to come right out and make a firm offer, but that is exactly what they were doing.

As for the assertion that Grewal made the first overture, I don't believe that one, either. This guy taped everything... but he didn't tape his first conversation with these people? If he was the one setting a trap, don't you think he would have taped all of his conversations, if he was the one who initiated that first contact?

More likely, they contacted him first - through their third-party buffer - and when he figured out what was going on, he started taping.

Obviously, all of this was hot on the heels of Belinda the untalented rookie MP walking across the floor and into Cabinet. And there was no deal there, either. Right...

The final disgusting part about all of this involves the big Liberals saying that they could have the Ethics Commissioner issue a statement to clear up the smear to Grewal's reputation that was done by the Liberals a few weeks earlier.

If you didn't know it before, it's clear that the Ethics Commissioner is a joke, whose sole purpose is to put a stamp of legitimacy on scummy tactics.

For shame.

The "welcoming mat with lots of nice Comfy fur on it" should be read as:

The velcro mat of slavery from which you will never rise again; dhimitude; the road to serfdom; the trap of National Socialism brought to you by Martin, Murphy, Dosanjh, and the socialist regime.

Down with National Socialism.

Long live freedom and democracy.

Re: www.paulmartintime.ca

The blogger was threatened with legal action by Martin & his regime in May, 2004 if he did not stop, cease and desist from blogging.

The website is frozen with no further activity since.

Fear is stalking the land of Canada. Free speech is dead; killed by the Martin regime.

Down with the Martin regime.

Given that G&M commentators have chosen to smear Grewal about the additional recordings leads me to believe the PM's in trouble. The MSM has also started to distance Murphy and Dosanjh from the PM. Even Christie Blatchford had to include token references slamming Grewal at the start of her article. And, once again, ALL politicians are being cast in this horrible light that the Fibs generated with their lust for power at any cost. In other stories, Dosanjh, the PM and others question the veracity of the tapes and suggest they've been altered and mistranslated by the Conservatives.

Librano$ have the evidence piling up against them, yet still feel home free because they control all the levers including the media. This is such a sad time for Canada....

So now we know what we suspected all along:

The Liberal Party is the party of shag carpets.

The prime minister says "no offers were made" But certainly one can say assurances were given

"I'm sure rewards are there at some point, right. No one can forget such gestures but they require certain degree of deniability. [A big laugh] Right, you understand things." there are other quotes, including the 99.9% quote.

So what is the definition of assurance..

as�sur�ance ( P ) Pronunciation Key (-shrns)
n.
The act of assuring.
A statement or indication that inspires confidence; a guarantee or pledge: gave her assurance that the plan would succeed.
Freedom from doubt; certainty: set sail in the assurance of favorable winds. See Synonyms at certainty.
Self-confidence. See Synonyms at confidence.
Excessive self-confidence; presumption.
Chiefly British. Insurance, especially life insurance from www.dictionary.com

and the word offer?

To present for acceptance or rejection; proffer: offered me a drink.

To put forward for consideration; propose: offer an opinion.
To present in order to meet a need or satisfy a requirement: offered new statistics in order to facilitate the decision-making process.

To make available; afford: The situation offers us the opportunity to learn more.
To present for sale.
To provide; furnish: a hotel that offers conference facilities.
To propose as payment; bid.
To present as an act of worship: offer up prayers.
To exhibit readiness or desire (to do something); volunteer: offered to carry the packages.
To put up; mount: partisans who offered strong resistance to the invaders.
To threaten: offered to leave without them if they didn't hurry.
To produce or introduce on the stage: The repertory group is offering two new plays this season.

from www.dictionary.com

The PM is correct an offer, "To present in order to meet a need or satisfy a requirement", was not made but an Assuranc WAS "A statement or indication that inspires confidence; a guarantee or pledge: gave her assurance that the plan would succeed.
Freedom from doubt"

remeber how murphy and reid think. They want the truth to be the truth....so in their mode the PM is not lying....but an ASSURANCE was given that Grewal would be taken care of. A 99.9% guarantee.

No different than Bill Clinton debating what the meaning of IS is....or whether oral genital stimulation was sex.....

Come on dont get drawn into their definitions...a guarantee was offered for abstention or crossing the floor. As Coyne said, "Would someone get me a 4 year old!!"
Freedom from doubt"

Stephen, Groucho Marx was the first to use the line about a 4-year-old, FYI.
Point, though, well taken.

The Liberals are questioning the authenticity of the Grewall tapes. Good grief. First, they say the tapes say nothing incriminating except show that Mr. Grewall was insistent on crossing the floor, which they spent four hours telling him no. Now they're saying the tapes may have been altered. Altered to say nothing incriminating?

If I were going to alter some tapes I'd make sure they were good and damning. Like honestly... this is just ridiculous.

Reality, apparently, is optional for this Liberal government. How long must we suffer under this type of regime?

I keep coming back to the fact that the entire focus of the Grewal enticement was "for him and his wife to abstain from a vote" NOT to cross the floor.

This was vote manipulation NOT trying to entice two members to become Liberals.

To me that is the key criminal element here

Alison, the transcripts say, yes, Grewal & wife were to abstain but they were to leave CPC and sit as independents for a little while. Then, sometime in the summer, when things have died down, they would either switch parties or be given some kind of appointments. Either way, the whole situation of offering something to a sitting MP to produce a favourable outcome for the governing party is criminal.

I'm waiting for someone to submit a witty LIbrano$ sign with warm comfy fur on it. I'd do it, but wit isn't my strong suit.

Everyone in the Conservative Pary knows that the Liberals are "dealers". For a Conservative MP, I can't think of many things more satisfying than revealing proof of this to the media. And now that we get a chance to be a "fly on the wall" of Grewal's orchestration we can't see the forest for the trees. Grewal caught and revealed the inner workings of the Liberal psyche and we can't take it for what it is.

Apparently this is the third time Grewal has been offered bribes to change his political position.

In one case the BC provincial Liberals offered him a Deputy Minister position if he would agree not to run Federally in his riding. Thee was one other.
Both times Grewal said no and both times he went public with the bribes offered. And both times the media belittled him, the Liberals denied it and called him a wingnut.
Just like they did with Inky Mark after Ralph Goodale called him when Martin was in Regina.

I think Grewal was frustrated at being branded a liar all the while seeing how the Liberals operated and got away with it.

CTV's Fife , who I am starting to respect, actually stated it best - Grewal wanted to be a whistleblower - but he had to have proof. The Liberal machine can totally crush anyone, anytime anywhere i n this fractured comprimised country of ours.

In my opinion this sleazy government will continue abusing their positions of trust until we have hundreds more whistleblowers.

As has been said "Paul Martin could be caught on tape shooting someone and holding the gun" and the media would say - yes, but the gun was not smoking.

Proof, everyone, proof. In your face inrefutable proof that even Liberal appointed judges could not refute.

Martin: "there was no offer!"
Even high school business courses that cover very basic elemants of a contract tell you that it does ot matter who makes the first offer. If you do not accept the offer and then counter-offer it is the same as an OFFER! The Libranos know this, Paul Martin Knows this, the partisan press knows this but as long they keep saying there was no offer and the press keeps reporting it without challenging the Libranos then a vast majority of the public, many of whom are incapable of independent thought, will believe it!

Remember when the Revenue Canada guy threatened Bishop Fred Henry of Calgary? The Libs called the good Bishop a liar too. When Henry revealed the name of his caller, the Libs went "Oh Well" Same thing happening here. They will just shrug this off too.

It is amazing that the msm and even some of the blogs are equating Grewal's taping of the whole sorry mess as equivalent to the sleaze that is evident in the liberal party. Inky had said he had offers and was called a liar and worse. Others had the same experience; the Liberals simply deny everything. There is no video or audio for any of the money changing in the Adscam mess, so the Liberals deny it and 36% of the population buy it. Now Grewal does the only thing that could possibly prove that the offers were actually made, and Duffy and others turn their nose up at him as being sleazy for taping the conversation. This is absolutely disgusting. There are none of these Liberals (including the 'honourable back benchers that have not the guts to fight against this) that I could have in my house or business without feeling sleazy myself. And believe me, I am no paragon of virtue. There are good reasons on their part that they don't want the public at large to have guns. Two hundred years ago, before lawyers had the gall to discuss 'what the meaning of "is" is', these thieves would have simply been shot or strung up.

Plausible denyability anyone? The whole blueprint that Grewal has exposed brings into question Scott Brison's move as well as Belinda's. It validates Inky Marks assertion. I am going to send an e-mail to my MP as well as Mr. Harper. I am going to suggest that the Tories buy media space requesting that Canadians who are upset with what the Liberal Party of Canada has been up to, to donate to a fund that will initiate legal action against the media and the Liberals. The fund will be used to sue CBC for their slanderous reporting. It will be used to ask Elections Canada to investigate CBC and Scott Brison's Campaigning on election day while 90% of the poles were still open. It would be used to investigate the potential fileing of false Election's Canada expense forms. It would be used to buy space in the media to balance the billion dollars a year the Liberals get to spend on the media. Etc. Etc.

I thought I had seen everything with the Bill Clinton line of "It depends what the meaning of "is" is." Or how about Cretien and his "da truth is da truth" comment. Now we have our illustrious Prime minister is in the Globe and Mail saying, "No offer was made. An offer was solicited. No offer was made, and that is the truth."

Let's make sure we get that right. "An offer was solicited." It is a crime in Canada to seek an or receive a political bribe. Paul Martin is saying that he did not do this but that he just "solicited" one. I think we have laws in this country called conspiracy laws. If you only conspire to commit a crime you are still guilty of that conspiracy. For our highest elected official to confess that he solicited an offer to Mr. Grewal of political bribery is the same as admitting conspiracy to do so and therefore he should resign immediatley.

Who cares what happens to Mr. Backbench Grewal? His constituents will take care of him.

Apparently it is illegal to offer a M P a bribe. What I want to know is this: Is it illegal to offer a "promise of a bribe" to a M P. In reading the Grewal transcripts, it sure seems like something is being promised.

Paul Wells commenting on the papers political mission. What a joke.

On the paper's political mission:
"Ken Whyte and Martin Newland, senior editors, took me out - I suspect a few others as well -- and said 'we know you often disagree with the stance of the newspaper, and it's seen as an asset.' Because if we have a couple of you mushy centrists out front as our diversity (big laugh) then we can be as right wing as we want on the editorial pages."

Walking eagle: I posted this yesterday at the Shotgun: In hockey if you trade a player for future considerations its a trade. In politics if you trade a vote for future considerations its a bribe.

Steve switched � 3 hours ago

Steve switched. Another Liberal too uncomfortable to stay at home.

I would say I have always been a libertarian conservative. There was once a place for me in the Liberal Party. No longer.

The Conservatives are not scary and hopefully people like us will help soften them a little on social issues. Fiscal conservativism and social tolerance is a winning combination. We no longer get that from the Liberals. They are spending wildly and taunting those that are uncomfortable with same-sex marriage, hardly a testament to their tolerance.

We badly need a change of government and Stephen Harper is the best alternative we�ve got.

Do you have a story too? Tell me

RCMP tape probe not full investigation, yet
CTV - 36 minutes ago
The RCMP are probing allegations that a crime was committed when Conservative MP Gurmant Grewal met with two senior Liberal party members. However, the Mounties say they haven't launched a full-blown investigation yet. ...

Googlenews.ca

Q: What's a full blown investigation?

Q: Who is being probed? Grewal or two senior Liberal party members?

Q: Grewal's name is shown; why are the names of the two senior Liberal party members names not shown?

Q: Why has the RCMP not ordered a full blown investigation? Is this report a trial balloon let fly into the air in order to gauge public reaction, if any; and also to get the reaction from the rest of the MSM?; and also to get reaction from bloggers/commenters?

Q: Does the order of words in the first sentence lead one to believe that Grewal is a criminal? It does to this reader. What say you?

Q: Why is Grewal named as a Conservative MP while Liberal MP/Cabinet Minister Dosanjh is not named?

Q: Is it implicit in the report that Grewal started the scandal by calling PM Martin's office first; Grewal was soliciting a job/appointment in exchange for his vote? Yes, that is implicit in the story.

CTV: A Liberal mouthpiece.

HEY... Is that dude eatin fur? I want the transtation authenticated... I want the audio authenticated..I want to make sure what we have is the STRAIGHT YEEEHHAA RED FUR GOODS BABY!!!!!!
