Liberal Abortion Motion Fiasco: Conspiracy or Incompetence?

In my last post I introduced the idea that perhaps Bob Rae was set-up by Iggy's team to be the one to read a Liberal motion that was defeated by fellow Liberals in humiliating fashion. I may as well ask the poll question, do you think there is a conspiracy, or was yesterday's comedy of errors just an example of pure incompetence?

When you think it through, it would almost be more comforting to Liberal supporters if the whole fiasco was done with purpose. Every Liberal MP knew it was their opposition day when their party was going to have the floor to introduce legislation. It is not as though this vote came out of nowhere with no warning. It was the Liberal's opposition day! How far in advance did some of these MPs decide to skip work? Isn't parliament the sovereign? I would really hope that Liberal members of parliament representing Canadian people who elected them to vote on their behalf in the legislature would mark down their opposition days on their calendar. That's an important day.

If this was not done by Iggy trying to embarrass Bob Rae (who introduced the motion but didn't write it), or visa versa, then at least that scenario is more palatable then they missed the vote because they are negligent in the duties they were elected to perform. Seriously people, can you imagine if we put this particular cast of clowns in charge of a budget??? I shudder to think how badly those stooges would boggle that responsibility! They can't even pass a symbolic motion to guarantee abortions to the whole world, how are they supposed to run the Government?

    When put that way, why on earth would they want to?

  2. No conspiracy here. It was just a case of stunning incompetence.

  3. Where is your love for clowns?

    They are demoralized and have been made to look foolish voluntarily. We need Iggy to stay until after the election. We already have enough material for the upcoming campaign.

    Let's keep the current front bench and strategic team at LPOC.

  4. I still can't believe they threw in that line about George Bush - can you imagine what someone reading Hansard a hundred years from now will think?
