TURNCOAT GUSHES
Garth Turner is a maverick. He was also, until yesterday, an Independent Member of Parliament. He was elected as a Conservative for the district of Halton, Ontario. However, he was thrown out of caucus by Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Yesterday, he joined the Liberals. None of this should be of much surprise or even note, especially to those of us here on the Wet Coast, who continue to live with the shame of David Emerson, elected as a Liberal, sitting from Day One as a Conservative.
What makes Mr. Turnercoat's actions so pitiable was this quote, "I have found a home."
How squishy, how yukkie, how terribly 70's sensitive!
Will someone please explain to the modern politician that it is not about YOU, nobody cares about HOW YOU FEEL. It's about the citizens. It's about health care and law and order and immigration and jobs and global warming and the well-being of the community.
You self-centred, self-absorbed, selfish fools - please get day jobs and leave governance to those rare few who might be able to handle it.
