But there are problems with what you are suggesting. First, I am not a Liberal. Never have been. Likely never will be. Second, I am an advocate for bridge-building politics, however Dion is not making such connections. Every chance he has to take a stance and join hands with the other parties he does not. He speaks out against the Conservatives but does nothing to prove that he means it. Third, I know Dion has some good ideas but those ideas, along with everything that he put forward during the leadership campaign will be meaningless unless he can actually do something. Forth, how can I flush something down the toilet when the Liberals have already done that for me? (or was that their credibility?) JJ, I assume you are being sarcastic.

You can take all that junk devoid of substance he put forward during the Liberal leadership campaign and flush it down the toilet. In fact, YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO READ IT!

If I vote Liberal, I don't know what I will get from them especially if Stéphane Dion's Liberals form the government. I picture in my mind a future Dion quote: "It is necessary to get out of Afghanistan only if it is necessary and we have the necessary means to do so." Stéphane Dion won the Liberal leadership partly based on his environmental stance. Now, he has to deal with other issues. He's not doing well right now.
