He just didn't care. He thought he could get away with it. Now, not so much. <br /><br />Stevie's refusal to answer questions from Mulcair, in the House, ought to be used in election ads. They ought to work well. Having stevie come and "testify" not a great idea. Stevie could simply develop a form of the B.C. Rail trial dementia or give his version of the "truth". None of this would work well for Duffy. Its better to have those moments in the House in ads and leave it at that. Then list all the cons we have been convicted, went to jail, etc. What more needs to be said about the cons during an election except how they really are cons. They make a Hell's Angels chapter look good. e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-65972992628228178552015-04-29T19:54:33.761-04:002015-04-29T19:54:33.761-04:00Can't get this link to work.

So while it's true that Duffy has an expense problem, the doll the Cons are desperate to hide is the residency question, and of course the cover-up. The Cons didn't go wild because their star senator had nickel and dime his per diems, it's because they knew that should the shit hit the fan, Harper's bending of the rules would hurt him. Also remember that beyond the legalities of the case is the fact the these days perceptions everything. Harper is already distrusted by many Canadians, so raising doubts about him can only increase those negatives and do him real damage. Politics is perception, everybody should remember that, I don't care what happens to Duffy as long as this case hurts the Con regime, and believe me it will...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-80481743629075570272015-04-29T18:31:18.229-04:002015-04-29T18:31:18.229-04:00hi anon...if Duffy manages to avoid a jail sentenc...hi anon...if Duffy manages to avoid a jail sentence I'm pretty sure we will never hear another word from him.

That Senators are using burner phones and blabbing to reporters is evidence that Harper's control by intimidation is working. I'm sure there will be more brown envelopes left unattended in the next few weeks. Maybe the super secret privliged Senate report will make its way to some ink stained wretch's shell like ear. <br /><br />Harper's next move may be to ban Nigel and look for a dismissal foe lack of evidence..

Seems that there is a paper trail establishing that it was Harper who had insisted he represent PEI despite Duffy's own misgivings. Harper will have a tough time if he tries to claim good faith in appointing Duffy since he had also appointed at least two others with dubious residency qualifications: Stewart-Olsen and Wallin. Karma's a bitch, isn't it? Hope Harper spends his retirement fighting these charges, just as Mulroney had to fight his in a public inquiry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-64199102352853146022015-04-29T11:25:38.608-04:002015-04-29T11:25:38.608-04:00good post with one error: 'will degrade him be...good post with one error: 'will degrade him beyond recognition' is not possible as it is by his degradation that we know him.<br />regards<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-68553618960298985242015-04-29T11:22:52.573-04:002015-04-29T11:22:52.573-04:00I'm with on that last statement thwap and all ...I'm with on that last statement thwap and all your previous ones.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Mogs<br /><br />We can't let him drag us down because he will get his just desserts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-53112144752544244322015-04-29T08:01:41.054-04:002015-04-29T08:01:41.054-04:00Why that bloated psychopath isn't being asked ...Why that bloated psychopath isn't being asked to testify is a very serious question.
