For those who beleive the answer is "no" the issue then becomes whether a Liberal governement would be any better, or whether a vote for NDP or Green would lead to personal satisfation but also a guilty feeling that it let the Tories back in.<BR/><BR/>For people to beleive that "elect" or re-elect" is importanat they must also:<BR/>be ignorant of the identity of the last two or three incumebents in this riding,<BR/>and <BR/>beleive the "Elect" is a command, rather like "Drink Coca Cola". Does anybody think this phrase makes it mandatory, or even advisable?Pedanticnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23948057.post-34022132078564929552008-09-22T13:12:00.001-04:002008-09-22T13:12:00.001-04:00It hasn't taken me long to realize that the mayor and his coattail hangers, feel they are unaccountable to the public, are low on transparency, and arrogant.<BR/><BR/>The situation in Victoria Park this past summer was the same as the previous, so Spooner-fed rooter-Rotary sat on his hands and did diddley-squat to prevent the problem. I'm sure he is sucking up compliments with the bigotry class, commiserating about those "certain groups" but DOING NOTHING. Thank Allah, that he will be out of council for the next run -- it's either that or he undergoes the ignomy of not being re-elected. <BR/><BR/>Imagine the humiliation it must have been to him to have garnered less votes than Miriam Mutton. Spooner's prescription of political-Viagra has expired.<BR/><BR/>I think I'll drop into council meeting this evening just to watch a demonstration of their ineptitude.<BR/><BR/>BTW, drop into my blog COBOURG OF ALL THINGS at cobourgtown.blogspot.comWally Keelernoreply@blogger.com
