Grant's right. The NDP is not the enemy.

The time and effort put in by Bill Vander Zalm, Chris Delaney, Bill Tieleman and the army of volunteers was inspiring, to say the least, and showed the so-called experts that even legislation that was designed to fail can be overcome when the cause is justifiable.<br /><br />The thing that irritates me is the mixed messages we keep on getting from the NDP. We know that Gordo's gang will fight this to the bitter end, unless he faces a revolution from within. I agree with her initial strategy of trying to convince some of the BC LIberal backbenchers to revolt against Gordo, but as things sit now the opportunity for a vote on accepting the HST never happened. I suspect that Harper and Campbell devised the plan to have the feds vote to impose the HST on us and have Hansen accept it through the back door. The vote in the Legislature to remove the PST meant nothing because the damage was already done.<br /><br />Once the HST became a done deal, the NDP should have come out and stated, without reservation, that they would not hesitate to remove the HST as soon as they assumed power. No negotiation with Ottawa, just a commitment that it's gone. But no, all we have gotten is a lot of waffling. If the NDP is worried about taking abuse from the MSM, then they haven't done their homework or are living in a fantasy world. The MSM will cut them no slack no matter what. <br /><br />As for the BC version of the Conservative Party, they are going nowhere anytime soon. The Reformers that seem to have taken charge will ensure they will be as successful as the Green Party. The string pullers behind Campbell and his cohorts know this and will continue their raping and pillaging of BC's assets until there is nothing left but a pile unusable residue.<br /><br />If the HST is not rescinded by the time this excercise is over, then all will be lost for the citizens of BC. Many of those that took the time to sign the petition will become disillusioned with the political process and probably join the group of non-voters. <br /><br />The bottom line is that the NDP must take a firm stand and let the chips fall where they may.Crankypantsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-47983856676310610072010-08-24T19:19:21.115-07:002010-08-24T19:19:21.115-07:00Randy White gives me the creeps, every time I look...Randy White gives me the creeps, every time I look at him I hear banjo's.
