Santorum On The Daily Show

I was waiting over the weekend for monday, desperately wanting to see Jon Stewart and my most-hated arch-conservative Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum debate each other. I could not believe what I was watching. Rick Santorum looked completely cuddly and warm, however I didn't buy his shenanigans. But, quickly into the interview Santorum proved why he's America's biggest idiot. Stewart hilariously started the interview off with a shot at the fact he and Santorum probably disagree on everything so he started off with something they could both agree on "I believe Ice Cream is a delicious treat, but however too much of it is a bad thing." Santorum laughed it off and said he agreed. Then the war began. Santorum talked about how he believes Government should tell Parents to stay together, AND THIS IS COMING FROM AN ARCH CONSERVATIVE FOR GOD SAKES! He once again reafirmed his committment to Heterosexual Marriage, saying that it is the foundation for families and that it creates children for future generations. But the point of Marriage is what Mr. Santorum seems to be missing and that is Marriage is about Love, not creating babies. Even when Stewart challenged Santorum to choose between a virtuous gay couple or an adulterous alcholic heterosexual couple. Santorum said quite possibly one of the most insane things I have ever heard: He believes that in all cases, that it should always be a straight couple raising a child. My jaw fell open at that remark, but what I was most dissapointed about with this interview was Stewart throwing soft-ball questions to Santorum. I mean for the love of God, Jon never went after his controversial remarks, he was obviously intimidated by this man and never did anything to ratify the situation. Jon I'm really disappointed.

There's Something About Roberts

Today I'm going to shift to American Politics, because let's be honest there is more interesting things going on there right now. As many of you know, George W. Bush has nominated D.C. Court of Appeals Judge John Roberts as the man to replace Sandra Day O'Connor. I reacted to this choice shockingly. I was hoping Ms. Edith Clement of Louisiana would get the nod, but unfortunately I am dissappointed that Mr. Roberts was picked instead of a woman. Sandra Day O'Connor was the best judge on that court and she should have been the next Chief Justice which would have been really wonderful. John Roberts is no Sandra Day O'Connor though. But, I am willing to listen and not prejudge anything against him. I believe Mr. Roberts could be one of two things. He might be another David Souter or he might be another Rehnquist or Scalia. I say this because it's quite possible Bush might have messed this up if Roberts commits to keeping Roe V Wade Alive. This would severely hinder Bush. If this happens people like me will cheer. Do not listen to the media regarding the crap about Roe V Wade. It would likely go 5-4 or 6-3 when Roberts takes his seat. Anthony Kennedy will always vote to uphold abortion rights despite the fact he's said that he's morally against it and that happens to be the position I take. I look forward to learning what Mr. Roberts has to offer and only then will I make up my mind. I will be fair to him.

Harper Is A Few Spurs Short Of A Boot

You know I really thought Stephen Harper was not going to do something stupid this summer until I saw this ungodly thing:

Can I please ask, in the words of the immortal Jerry Seinfeld. Who were the ad wizards that came up with that one? I don't think these were wizards, these were idiots. Warren Kinsella wrote in his blog that the person responsible for this Harper Screw Up needs to be dragged to the centre block and hung. Well, Warren I disagree. I believe this person should raised on the shoulders by all liberals. Thanks to this idiotic photograph, Stephen Harper is scarred for life and can now be named Boss Hogg. The comparison to Mr. Hogg is quite appropriate since Mr. Harper is an angry white man with a cowboy hat. This outfit makes the Dukakis Tank Outfit a joke. I think we can also name Mr. Harper, Woody (Toy Story Reference)!. Because not only is he downright wooden and unlikeable he's in a cowboy outfit too.

Harper should fire Grewal

I am quite shocked at Stephen Harper's antics when it comes to Gurmant Grewal, he continues to stand by this man despite the fact that he is hurting the party. I keep wondering to myself, is the Conservative Party just a natural born party of losers? I mean honestly it's no surprise why Belinda Stronach wanted to disassociate herself from these losers. I would not be surprised if this party never gets back into power again, they are doing exactly everything in their way to help them lose. Mr. Grewal has proven that the Conservatives do not have a monopoly on morality, If Mr. Harper wants to prove that he is somehow more "ethical" then the liberals like he's always spewing then he will cease backing this man and he will toss him out on his ass out the door. Mr. Grewal has lost all credibility and the hypocricy of the Conservatives is amazing. It is amazing that this man continues to stay in the conservative caucus. Because I would have fired him if I was Conservative Leader. All I see from Stephen Harper is a man who is completely fake and robotic. I know many people will not like what I say but I am not afraid to tell the truth.

R.I.P. Chuck Cadman 1948-2005

I know it has been a while since I've posted and it's mostly because I've found very little to discuss. But yesterday, when I heard the news of Independent MP Chuck Cadman's Death, I was saddened and shocked. I was hoping that he would be able to beat cancer and come back to the house of commons and represent his constituents of Surrey North. Chuck Cadman, like I said a few posts before. Was the Best M.P. in the house of Commons and I don't think anybody would not believe that. He listened to his constituents, he was multi-partisan, he judged people not on the past but on what they can deliver. For Example: Chuck could have railed against the so-called corruption of the Liberal Party, but he didn't, instead he decided to focus on the issues of the people and not the problems of other parties. He realized the budget was a good piece of legislation that his constituents wanted and he voted for it, rather then ignore people he listened! In fact, even though I probably would have disagreed with him on many issues, including Same-Sex Marriage. I would honestly vote for this man, he cared about the people of Surrey North and was in politics for all the right reasons. Chuck is up in the sky with God now and is also probably with his son Jesse and I cannot feel any happier that Chuck will finally see his son again after he was brutally killed. This is a man who should be a role model to many Canadians and I even believe that this man should be put into the order of Canada for helping crack down on crime. Chuck Rest In Peace my friend. My Prayers are with your family and the people of Surrey North that are going through this difficult time.
