Sorry tyke, thought you were speaking figuratively there ... so if 'baby' is synonymous with 'Liberal Party', what is the bathwater, the billions of our cash they bathe in? Labels get used all the time, it's very difficult to avoid them without typing reams of explanatory detail on issues ... note that a few words later in the same paragraph you use the label 'Neocons', expecting us all to understand your meaning, and we do ... we all do this in the interests of brevity, ars longa, vita brevis, it's just useful at times to clarify their meaning, or crack a joke, and that was my intention People say a lot of things ... you have to wonder how long any of us would last in politics if there were competitors compiling our every word and publicising selected bits they found to their advantage ... in another post you mention one of Harper's statements on Iraq2003, he was taken to task for that by his membership, even though the full thought he was expressing was not nearly as un-canadian as it is presented by the careful editing in Liberal attack pieces Turn that scrutiny onto the Liberals on the same day, and what do you get, you get Chrétien off in Bizzaroworld somewhere, saying We the natural governing party have determined that the canadian nation chooses to kiss Chirac's arse instead of Bush's, these being the only two possible choices in the universe ... note the royal 'We', capitalised, with capital they got from all of us, not just their indoctrinated base ... but if ever there was a time in recent years for a Pearson or a Laurier, that was it Laurier today would be a tory - check his policies, read his legislation, his notable quotes ... and it was he who built up the Liberal political machine, back when it was liberal, and before that label had its meaning changed As for risk, you're not going to find an absence of it anywhere, let alone in politics, there is always the unexpected ... look at the Liberals today, faced with the risk that the canadian people might after all not be entirely satisfied with gross corruption in their Natural Governing Party ... who knew?
