What's The Big Deal Afterthought
So, just wondering...
Are the Liberals upset over David Emerson crossing the floor because he got asked and they didn't?
Or is Emerson a bad person for switching parties, or is he a bad person because he's now a Conservative and all Conservatives are evil?
One last poser. Who's worse - the person who asks someone to switch parties or the person that takes up the offer. Is it a party action or a personal action? If Harper's bad for making the offer, then so is Martin. If Stronach is bad for changing parties, than so is Emerson. Or do people's views depend entirely on which party is involved and which person is moving which way.
Personally, and call me crazy, I think it should depend entirely and exclusively on the following question: does it make government better or worse or no different than it was the day before. If the answer is worse, complain and don't re-elect people who do it. If the answer is either of the other two possibilities, what's the problem?
