		<description>Hey, ferrethouse, would that be the economy that is spiralling under the horrendous spending increases and tax cut regime the Conservatives have embarked upon since getting office? Would that be the one that had a $10 billion deficit during the last election but lied about it?

Yeah, lets talk about the economy and how the CPC is creating the biggest deficit in Canadian history. Let talk about how they raised spending 8% above that of Paul Martin beholden to Jack friggin Layton, and then spent it mostly on their cronies and as pork in their own ridings.

Of course talking about that doesn&#039;t mean we can&#039;t talk about Ministers of the Crown in this government who yet again think they are above the law and can violate regulations that would have gotten you or I fired in a heart beat. Maybe we can talk about how thinking the law doesn&#039;t apply to you is a real issue with the so-called &quot;law and order&quot; CPC (In-And-Out anyone?)

So, you want to talk about that or you want to talk about Lisa Raitt and the obviously poor judgment STephen Harper has in appointing her and now continuing to defend her.

Gawd you are such a partisan idiot.</description>

		<description>Ferret,

If you happen to need cancer treatment, do you think you would be worried about the economy or whether or not you will be able to get your treatments that will save your life.

Oh and since Raitt-Tape want the political points for fixing this nuclear mess, she now owns it all, and that includes all the past fuckups on this file.  She wants to roll the dice, well she the player at the table now.</description>

		<description>marginally questionable statements?  good luck with that explanation.

I think the arrogance, combined with incompetence, on this file is the issue.  The medical crisis looming - of greater magnitude than when Harper sacked a competent civil servant two years ago - is the issue.

The passing the buck (notes in the margin of papers last week to &quot;blame the liberals, musings about the failings of her own fellow cabinet minister) while seeking to claim credit for in effect throwing money at an issue.  Yep, those are issues as well.

But you keep telling everyone its some trivial matter.  Make sure you visit the cancer wards while you&#039;re out lambasting all this dwelling on some petty side issue.</description>

		<description>And I thought the economy was #1 priority. But you guys seem focused on some marginally questionable statements made in private. Funny how you go on endlessly about how the CPC isn&#039;t doing enough about the economy but you don&#039;t mind going on and on about something trivial like this.</description>
