Comments open for reaction. I’m watching the other one.
And based on his facial expressions… she’s killing him.
A better sign – traffic has taken The Corner down.
By the way… Bush comes up less frequently in the US debates than he does the Canadian ones. How ironic is that?
A good debate, Biden was competetent, but boring, too detail obsessed, and stumbled badly on the same sex “marriage” comment, among others. Palin in a walk, despite some stumbles and too many mentions of the word “maverick”.
And I don’t know if I’ll be the first to say it, but I will – Gwen Ifill performed admirably as moderator.
Oh… and the reason I skipped the Canadian debate? Simple. I watched, or tried to, the French language one. And my impression after that is that the broadcast consortium are rock hard stupid.
After the debate, Dion will join Layton at Starbucks for a coffee and a second kick in the nuts.
Duceppe brings up Bush and Iraq. My God, shutup you bloody idiot!
ugghhh! Bad vibes there…Dion wanting to be in charge of the military, making decisions?
shudder….
Duceppe…….’Bush…….Bush………Bush……….Bush……….Bush……..”
Gwen Ifill said “make sure you pre-order my book on your way out.”
I keed, I keed.
Lizzie May is the quintessential obnoxious fat boorish slovenly socialist Canadian broad. The civil service is full of them and they represent everything that is wrong with this country.
“jobs commmisioner”?
Bribes commissioner is more like it – on the spot, offering whatever they can to keep unprofitable plants in business, a game of pure bluff and bait.
Why is May getting so much time?
“I can’t wait for the artists to make more movies, more art, more books and make Canada will be more fun.”
Dion
Dion – Harper=Bush. AWKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!! The stupidity! It burns!
haha Bluetech I got the same shiver when Dion started talking about what he would do if he was PM and in charge of the forces.
Now Lizzie May wants to solve World Poverty……..my gawd, she should realize that her sloganeering doesn’t work on 90% of the electorate. What a ridiculous statement!
“Gwen Ifill performed admirably as moderator.”
I think someone read her the riot act this afternoon after it was revealed that she didn’t reveal her book to the Debate Commission.
Edward Teach: Lizzie May is the quintessential obnoxious fat boorish slovenly socialist Canadian broad. The civil service is full of them and they represent everything that is wrong with this country.
So true dude, so true.
Harper’s finishing strong.
Jack! wants to bring the troops home, put them out of work, then take the saved money and save overseas lives through an NDP “peace initiative.”
BTW, who is this George Bush of whom they speak? A bit of a fixation, no?
Steffi”You say we have to stay until the job is not done”,yeah that is prime ministerial material,with a tan.
Good line from Duceppe…wonder why he didn’t say he wanted to be PM of Quebec.
‘Investments’
Government spending is expenditure of taxpayer dollars. Why do socialists insist on using this ill-defined use of this word?
More like government waste!
Dion is the guy who walks out of the women’s washroom with his shirt stuck in his fly and toilet paper stuck to his shoe.
The only guy in Canada who can make Layton look Prime Ministerial. The most ineffective use of the word “dam” since Black Jacques Shellac tangled with Bugs Bunny.
Lizzy May takes stupidity to a whole new level, did anyone else hear her say there was an international conspiracy to destroy our health care system ?
Duceppe is irrelevent outside of Quebec.
Jack is just plain scary, it would take this country a century to overcome 4 years of Dipper rule.
Steffi is just pathetic.
These 4 clowns couldn’t run a cr*p factory even if they had an unlimited supply of laxative !
I though Lizzie’s top priority was to save the world from the disaster of Global warming? Turns out it’s getting more of her travellers into the public trough
“Lizzie May is the quintessential obnoxious fat boorish slovenly socialist Canadian broad.”
Except she wasn’t born here. She’s an American kos kid. Also a single mom, because who could stand that thing?
Dion, the pompous and arrogant English mangler, is dead in the water.
Once again, the one economist debates the four communists. Two of which shouldn’t be at the table.
Still 20 minutes to go, but Harper won, simply by the fact that he wasn’t asked, like last night, to turn to the person on his left and say something nice.
bluetech: “Why is May getting so much time?”
Because she just won’t shut up. Paikin needs to whack her with the moderator’s nerf bat.
“international conspiracy to destroy our health care system”
Yes. Its Sasquatches in BC that are causing all the trouble Lizzie. Oh, and they’re illiterate. Get on that before they grab a handgun and hurt the Kokanee Ranger.
Lizzy May, born with the mouth of a ventriloqist’s dummy.
This isn’t a debate, it’s a lefty four on one assault of the PM.
The format is on par with a pathetic mid-way sideshow……………Gawd Awful.
LOL Aiken asked Dion why one of Dalton’s ministers thinks that the Green Shift is not a good idea. Dion taken aback.
Agree Kate. Paikin and Ifill were good tonight.
I-fell was fine right to the end, when she said “You did great.” twice to Biden. Biden also seemed to know the last question was coming. Sometimes they let them know a question is coming, both sides I hope.
I predict that cbc will declare Dion the winner. This will be broadcast to Canadians that did not watch the debate to bolster support for the liberals. I hope I am wrong but …….
Lizzie wasn’t around when Hedy Fry ridiculed income splitting and recognition of spouses that choose to stay home.
Good answer from PMSH.
The debates themselves are meanigless. They don’t change minds much. People who watch them, mostly political junkies, are set in their positions. The undecided, for the most part, are people who don’t pay attention to politics and watching in small number, proportional to those who follow politics on a regualr basis. Unfortunately, having said that, the sound bites they do receive iare from the MSM who control and shape the message. We know the script they’ve written. More gang rape to follow…
I hope PMSH mention the Goodale/Brison crap WRT income trust.
WallyJ-
On the troops in ashkan, Parliament voted to pull them out, so as PM, that’s the line. Given a majority, there could be a different vote, and gee! We are staying!
Ian
Duceppe: I know I won’t be prime minister, just like 3 of you but you won’t admit it (pointing at Dion, Layton and May).
LOL BAM!
“Reconcile mankind and the planet”,pass the barf pail.
Lizzy May: “Demand better of your politicians.”
Good idea. I’ve decided I”m not going to vote for any leader who spoke at the pro-Hizb’Allah/anti-Israel rally in Toronto on August 12, 2006.
Oh look, that’s YOU Lizzy May!
“Reconcile mankind and the planet”
He has a rather inflated notion of the job, I think.
da great challenge his Mankind and da Planet. Hi want to be da Priminster huv Canada.
Glorious.
I think CBC declared Borat Dion the winner about three and half hours ago.
Loved Duceppe’s zinger about how he wouldn’t be Prime Minister and neither would three others at the table as he looked at Loonie Lizzy, Taliban Jack and Borat Dion !
May is a joke and shouldn’t be there.
But let’s try to remember all of the things many of the conservative commenters here have said about her next time someone wants to whine that Democrats are sexist and unfair with Palin.
“a single mom, because who could stand that thing?”
“the quintessential obnoxious fat boorish slovenly socialist Canadian broad”
etc.
Not making a comparison. Just highlighting it for those who moronically say that there is a difference between Republicans and Democrats.
Stupid, knee jerk kool aid drinking blind partisans will throw out every principle and value if it serves there side.
“The sweater’s nice.” Says the mustache.
Followed by the English mangler.
Good question by Paikin!!
I agree with anon,a lifelong liberal voting friend of mine told me that for the first time in his life he won,t be voting liberal as a direct result of Dion,s green shift.
Per Pollster Luntz, Palin did extremely well with his focus group of independents. Phrases like “not the Palin we have seen in the news.” He said “Expect a shift in the polls” I hope so.
Young Afgan Canadian male from Kitchener asks “why are we leaving Agnstn in 2011 as it is too imprtant to leave”. My wife replies, “then why aren’t you over there fighting for your country if it is so damned important instead of asking our men and women to die for you!”
Dion, Layton, Liz and Gile are making the point; the only prime ministerial candidate is Steven Harper. They all address him, they probably think they’re ganging up, instead they’re acknowledging his leadership and credibility. He just calmly answers.
PMSH wins!
I actually enjoyed this, I planned to watch a few minutes and watched the whole thing.
PMSH has performed more and more strongly as the “debate’s” gone on. He’s also been allowed more time to speak truth to idiocy.
Stephen Harper’s a real class act.
Just like the house of commons only the Green Leader has a seat.
I for one am extremely pleased that more people are being exposed to her ignorance and moonbattery.
I am also pleased that the NDP will be the official opposition in a few weeks.
