Abandoned Stuff by Saskboy

Apparently their eyes don’t work too, because they didn’t see the RCMP raid Conservative Party Headquarters either.

Cadscam hit a snag Friday after the RCMP said that they couldn’t consider audio evidence of Harper admitting to a bribery plan, in criminal charges. Good thing the Internet provides the recording for anyone to listen to. It’s a crime to offer financial considerations to an MP in return for their vote. Good thing that the Criminal Code of Canada is still available on the Internet as well. Resourceful Canadians can put two and two together and get the right answer, even if the RCMP can’t take down a criminal with audio evidence.

The zombies have started to think they’ve won, and are crawling over Jeff’s comments thread. Harper hasn’t won, even though he’s done better than Nixon so far, at avoiding consequences of a damning audio tape.

Or else he’ll Lose It.

It, of course, is the Chuck Cadman bribery attempt scandal. If you can’t take down your political opponent when they’ve been caught being aware of an official party attempt to bribe an independent MP into voting a certain way in Parliament, you simply can’t. It’s now, or never. And if it turns into never, heaven help us.

Cadscam is that kind of scandal that destroys the remaining faith people might hold in their government. For any Conservative to claim they can offer “clean” leadership now, is not only laughable, it’s deeply offensive. They’d have to figure you’re an idiot to honestly expect you to buy that load of hogwash.

UPDATE: Cadman’s widow backs Harper’s only plausible defense (considering the audio tape evidence), and that is that he didn’t know that bribery was on the table for convincing Cadman to vote with the Conservatives. Harper goes after the Liberals in court.
