Paul Martin didn't campaign on a promise to clean up government and do things differently. Harper did. Plus the Conservatives made a big stink over Belinda crossing the floor. It's not media bias, it's the clownservatives not living up to their advanced billing.
The Liberals would have continued lying and stealing from Canadians and done nothing differently? That was Martins campaign?
I'm not sure what to make of the second one, are you saying that the Liberals didn't or aren't making a big stink over David crossing the floor? And, your comparing two appointments to the years of Liberal STEALING and LYING ?? And, after looking directly at the evidence in this post, showing blatant media bias you still say there's no bias? Wow, where do you get a set of blinders like that? You must giggle yourself to sleep every night.
What I'm saying is that you rubes shot yourselves in the foot. You made such a big stink about Belinda crossing the floor that now makes that the narrative whenever someone crosses the floor. If you had of just shrugged your shoulders, tossed a few "traitourous slut, the liberals can have her" remarks in her direction the narrative on Emerson would now be that too. You cons screamed "floor crossing bad" so don't be surprised now that the media is saying "floor crossing bad".
Plus you have to take into account that more than half of the conservative bloggers and nearly all of the conservative columnists are screaming "floor crossing bad".
That is not bias, it's karma.
" Paul Martin didn't campaign on a promise to clean up government and do things differently."
What rock were you hiding under in 2004? That' is precisely what Paul Martin campaigned under in 2004 - remember how he was going to fix the "democratics deficit"?
Also, your precious NDP did not have any problem with Beleinda crossing the floor to prop up their 4 Billion dollar budget grab.
Wow - I did not know the Conservatives had such a powerful voice that they could turn the media around 100% in just one short year!
Goodd job
