Liberals stealing from Liberals? If it keeps them from stealing from us, then I say - leave them be!
Fingers are being pointed and aspersions cast among Liberals in advance of the June 28 annual meeting of the Elgin-Middlesex-London federal riding association.What are we waiting for? Get these people a basketball court!The missing [$16,000] and actions of the association's board of directors have prompted complaints from rank-and-file Liberals upset at being kept in the dark. They're demanding answers.
"I've never encountered anything like this and I've been in politics since I was 13," said Lois Jackson, a St. Thomas party member. Jackson is upset the riding executive has said nothing about the matter publicly, despite conducting a nomination meeting in April for which nearly 800 party memberships were sold.

The Free Press has learned a high-ranking party official tried to solve the problem by offering to cut cheques for the missing money provided local officials agreed to take no further action and considered the matter closed.
A letter from David J. Pretlove, then interim executive director of the Liberal Party of Canada (Ontario), offered to cover the missing funds. That letter was given to the board in January by Suzanne van Bommel, then a member of the board and now also the party's candidate in the riding for the next federal election.
Van Bommel said she presented the offer "on behalf of Mr. Pretlove."
Pretlove is now director of finance and administration for the party's Ontario wing.
Liberals stealing from Liberals?
That is what happens when they can no longer steal from Canadian tax payers.
Stealing is a liberal gene found in their DNA.
Baseball might be more appropriate as the guilty party will probably walk
and can keep the kleptomania honed by stealing bases.
next thing you know they'll be robbing graves . uuuuum never mind . they got the dead vote covered so maybe they won't try for the gold outa corpses teeth . probably be easier to " cover up " though.
Politicians should serve two terms-one in office and the other in prison.
-Samuel Clemens
He must have known the Liberal party.
"I've never encountered anything like this, and I have been in politics since I was 13" sez Lois Jackson..........
Perhaps Miz Jackson figures it is okay for the Glibs to rip off the taxpayers, but not each other? (But then- don't ever try to debate the HRDC, the gun registry, or adscam with these people).
The kept this quiet for 6 months, and brag about their transparency. Wonder if PMSH will bring one of the defrauded liberals out for a press conference. That guy that wanted to pay it back, to keep it quiet, should make a donation to the adscam payback fund.
Sixteen large , meh .... in Liberal circles , I believe this is called ' baby steps '.
"Some turn-out, 100 grand,
Get with it and shake his hand,
Don't try to understand,
Don't question the little man"

A few lines from one of the most
gorgeously cynical bands of the
20th century, it seems to describe
the Liberal philosophy perfectly.
Do you think it will be a knock em down drag em out type carnage? I though liberals were suppost to be peaceful
Cretien must be beside himself at how far the Libs have fallen ..... not even a ' so a few thouasnds went missing ' blast from any of them . Yet .
They're all exonerated. Pay back? What money? Actually it was only a buck fifty. Really.
they are entitled to their entitlements
How come this isn't front page news at the Globe and Mail or the Toronto Star. Can you just imagine if that had been a Conservative Party association ? We would hear nothing else from the Liberal loving media for weeks. Is it just me or are others getting sick of the daily barrage against PMSH and the CP. Don't these reporters know this is a minority government? They seem to think that all the evil foisted on us by the morally bankrupt Liberal Party should all be fixed in 18 months by a minority government. If the Liberals had been subjected to the type of scrutiny the Conservatives are subjected to the world would be a different place. Instead the MSM colluded with the Liberals to keep many of these scandals hidden from the public. They won't be happy until our country is back in the hand of the natural governing party.
:Liberals stealing from Liberals?"
Love the concept...if we could get matbe Dr. Fruit ly to genetically hook the liberal Klepto gene into their political incest gene we may have a new hybrid Liberal that is super efficient at theft but only preys on its own kind in the party.
Liberals stealing from liberals, that's the way it should be.
This could be just the beginning, cannibalizing can't be far behind.
If they try to fatten Steffi up on hot dogs we'll know for sure.
Steffi best keep a close watch on his little four legged hors d'oeuvre...
This story has a parallel in the lefty world:
- Comsymps make big $ creating intellectual property castigating capitalism and selling it;
- Anarchists come in with BitTorrent and steal from the comsymps.
One more thing. When liberals have their hands in the till, they tend to blame "the market" if they can get away with it.
I.e.: "I made me do it!"
If you don't mind a bit of heart-bleed, this excuse-making is what made law-abiding social democrats look like thieves.
