NDP Convention – Bush Count Hits 9 On CPAC

Last night I watched ten minutes of the NDP convention and heard George Bush’s name once.

This morning Alexa McDoughhead was interviewed and said George Bush’s name four times.

Laurel Gibbons was interviewed shortly later and the other NDP gentleman who was interviewed with her mentioned Bush once and that it was a war for oil. (I do commend Laurel for at least being supportive of the troops as she is married to a military man.)

ADDENDUM: 9:07 am – Paul Dewar just mentioned Iraq twice, Vietnam and Americans in his interview regarding his resolution. No mention of Bush, but he did just say people signed up to the military years before Iraq, implying they had no clue that they would end up in a war (morons) and it also shows that Paul Dewar and the NDP are trying to tie the current Afghani mission to the one in Iraq when Canadians are not even in Iraq.

ADDENDUM: 9:17 am Jack Layton gets the mic first and mentions Bush three times.

ADDENDUM: 9:38 am – After complaining that the vote to extend the mission last session in parliament only had 6 hours of debate, the NDP have a standing vote after 21 minutes to go to a vote on the resolution to remove our forces from Afghanistan immediately. They don’t have the 2/3rds needed to go to vote and debate continues. (Peter Stoffer is a real man and I would like to shake his hand.)

ADDENDUM: 9:46 am – A motion to defer the debate is made and debate on the referral begins.

ADDENDUM: 9:54 am – Vote to refer the motion fails and they move back to the main motion.

ADDENDUM: – 9:58 am – after a full 51 minutes debate, a full 5 hours and 9 minutes LESS than the debate in the house on this issue, the NDP pass a motion to resolve that they remove troops from Afghanistan immediately. (i.e. the NDPussy Motion passes)

    I hope they get lots of MSM time, they are so pathetic, people will now see them for what they are, terrorist lovers. They support hamas, hezbollah, and they do not support our troops.

    The NDP can be the anti-war party all they want, but no-one really cares what they think!

    Jack, go to Afghanistan, talk to the taliban, if you still have your head, we might listen!

    Hunter, Peter van Dusen asked Jack after the convention if he would go over there with no allied troops and negotiate with the Taliban. He said he might as part of a multiparty consortium and fluffed it off that way the wuss.

    He thinks they are not terrorists but he won’t go talk to them in their caves.

    The central rallying point of the Left, and hence the NDP, is anti-Americanism. Their anti-American sentiments become particularly acute when America is being governed by people of their second most loathed camp: capitalist conservatives.

    If you look at their convention to date, it’s all about not being like America.

    Glad to find your site – lots of stuff that I wish I had writen.

    Decency forbids me from telling what I think of Jacko Layton.

    Great idea to send him on a “suicide negotiation mission” with his friends the Taliban. Wonder if Mullah Omar will come out of hiding to personally dispatch him.

    Just wondering.

    What I remember about the debate in Parliament back earlier this year. It was asked for by the NDP and from what I heard in the commentary by the Toronto Sun was that very few MP’s attended the debate. Including the NDP which has a total number of 30 MP’s. This debate by members of the NDP still
    calls for our troops to leave Afghanistan. They will call for another debate in Parliament. The question is how many will show?
