I really feel giddy now after reading of "Liberal star Bob Rae" and his exhortation to the Pratt candidacy Liberal Party comrades of Ottawa West-Nepean. How fools can lie!, and O how it makes one's heart leap up with joy to hear the call to the Barricades out of the mouth of true Heroes of The People like Mr. Rae! You'd think from the little man's sheer gall that we were all standing at Mount Sinai receiving the Law, when actually we are reading/hearing the ravings of a pretentious bourgeois Diplomatic Family brat that screwed his Party by his incompetence, emptying the NDP of its appeal in Ontario for a generation... And then we'll never forget who forsook his Party and fled to the Corporate Trough for a feed-fest when he thought destiny was calling him to be the Leader of the Grit Rat-Pack?

But wait -- he left the NDP for the Grits "on principle" he has said on other occasions. Does Bob Rae think anyone in this country can recall an instance in the history of Confederation when a socialist of the CCF-NDP jumped ship and swam for the Liberal Pirate Ship (perpetually sinking under its plundered booty) all for sacred honour or principle? No tuggings of ambition -- no lustings for power???

According to Reporter Don Butler of The Citizen . Rae says the current division on the political left is "counter-productive. Progressive people have to come together under the Liberal banner." Why were the CCF and then the NDP formed by farmers, trade-unionists and small business people? Was it all for naught, did our political fore-bearers in the Social-Democratic movement in Canada have severe glaucoma or advanced macular degeneration and just plain missed the fact the there was ALREADY a " Left" party in Canada staring them in the face, and advancing their interests -- i.e. The Liberal Party of Canada?

No Bob, there is no Left wing Liberal Party of Canada to flock toward, not even one crafted for the pwogressive simpletons who credit your senatorial orations. There is not even a Santa Claus since William Lyin' Quisling King and Uncle Louis St-Laurent left us, and last but far from least, Stephane Dion is not the Head Elf.
