On Saturday the Liberal Party posted a press release titled "Living Dangerously" where they boasted that leader Mike Ignatieff was living life on the edge by riding a bicycle and talking to children. "A cautious politician does not ride a bicycle" they said. Later that same day, Tory Industry Minister Tony Clement jumped into a raging river to help save a woman's life. I suppose Tony is not a cautious politician. If Iggy considers a high five with a toddler to be living in the danger zone, I suspect that he would not be jumping into a river to prevent a drowning, but we never know how any of us will react to such a situation until we find ourselves in it.
My question to you is what other activities does a cautious politician not do (measured by Liberal standards)? Does a cautious politician drink Tim Horton's coffee? Does a cautious politician walk and chew gum at the same time? Does a cautious politician swim 15 minutes after eating?
A cautious politician doesn't tug on Superman's cape. A cautious politician doesn't spit into the wind. A cautious politician doesn't pull the mask off the ole Lone Ranger and a cautious politician doesn't mess around with Jim. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt is almost sad watching the Liberal Express trying to connect with Canadians.
ReplyDeleteThe Liberal media is busy trying to push decriminalizing the long form Census as tyrannical and ideological.
Tony Clement decision to dive in represents the call to action of conservatives to do the right thing.
The Liberals like to appear to be seen do to the right thing.
Conservatives take action and Liberals like to discuss ideas.
Conservatives buy equipment, Liberals don't pay the note to be an international citizen, they would rather build roads and hospitals.

LOL
Check out that unflattering picture. It's almost like that reporter is mocking Iggy.
Iggy living dangerously by pretending he's got a gun.

Of course Iggy was living dangerously. They took the training wheels off the bike!
