Moxie is turning this in to a big left vs right battle.

 

It's not left vs right. It's right vs wrong.

 

You are ignoring the fact the Rob Ford has admitted to partacing in criminal activity while being the major of Toronto. He lied to everyone. He needs help. Everyone knows that.

 

How can you moxie, or anyone else, possibly defend his actions.

 

He's a discrace. And it absolutely blows my mind that 25% of taxpayers still support him. And those 25% are trying to make the other 75% feel like they are doing something wrong by wanting him to step down. It's ridiculous.

 

A complete and utter embarrassment.

 

And what's with you leaning in to kicking frog so hard? He's contributed more to OFC than you ever will.

Yep.

Ok, now you lost everyone. Comparing Rob Ford to Kim Jong Un has got to be the most ridiculous thing I've heard today. Thanks

Quite the opposite. Not a comparison. Another irrelevant "fact" to compare to "these European politicians" being spoken of. Irrelevant to the situation of Rob Ford.

You and your kind would know. What breed of thinker that would be ? Or do you, in your infinite wisdom don't feel me and my kind would be able to decipher the unsubstantiated drivel that would escape your lips?.

 

 

Caller in to a radio talk show said it best. "I'm of European descent and many a politician on that continent has had sex parties with hookers and party girls complete with booze and drugs as well as many other indiscretions and still managed to retain power. Why? Because the majority of the electorate were satisfied with the work they did. Those that are embarrassed about how they look as a consequence of the actions of others are beyond counselling.

 

One of the funniest angles so far? City council wanting to petition an un-elected provincial leader to remove the democratically elected Toronto Mayor. BOO HOO!!!!!

and Kim Jong-il got 100% of votes.

This is the disturbing part, he didn't tell the truth for all that time until he finally had to. If the pressure hadn't been put on him I doubt he'd ever admit to it.

Yep, he is only sorry he got caught.

There are enough for 2 teams! I'm just curious who others would pick.

Wouldn't that make it the problem? How can you trust the guy again?

What a great definition of a politician from Washington to the board of a fishing club.

 

What I'm saying is I respect him for doing a 180 degree turn and telling the truth, late yes, but no Politian I know of has done that and survived even this far afterwards. They are going to have to kill the guy before he quits. No one can argue what he has done is not absolutely discussing, but he does his job, and well.

 

Last night NBC, i believe, had a show "Top 10 political scandals", Ford didn't make the list, too soon I imagine, as far as scandals Ford wins hands down.

He still hasn't told the whole truth, and he only admitted what he has because he was backed into a corner. I was not explaining Marion Barry's issues.

You're being scammed right now haha.

speaking of olympics - who should be the centres for Canada now with Stamkos possibly out? so many to choose from. Crosby is a shoe in obviously, i'm thinking Toews Bergeron and Getzlaf?

watch what, this embarrassing charade to keep unfolding? Who else gets a pass on all these indiscretions? Hookers at city hall, doing oxycontin, drinking and driving, smoking crack, hanging around known GUNS AND DRUG dealers, purchasing drugs on city time, lying to the public about it all, using his drug dealer pal to extort the individuals with the video, condemning harm reduction and drug addicts - the hypocrisy is incredible. Why does he get your support for a "mistake" when anyone else engaging in these activities would not. The whole thing is absurd.

i wouldn't blame their loss tonight on the preseason haha and i guess it would be mixed views on how a 6 day lay over would play out... could be a good rejuvenation period -- i wouldnt say the schedule is going to settle down in their favour, just need to tighten up the D and everything should work out well for them

a buddy of mine has the exact same canoe and motor, works like a charm!

hmmm crack user? Lol. Good point. The merry goes round

haha, worked out reach for a while... learn a lot

Lol misfish, pretty sure crack is cheaper than wisers. Unless of course you combine the two... Dr that up and save millions???? Anyhow just poking fun. I care none. Poli twit tions are all guilty on numerous accounts, drunken stupers included

haha, its the opposite, users purchase a hit for anywhere from $5-20 and it lasts at most 20 minutes. A $13 mickey can keep you lit for an hour or two haha (tolerance a factor?)

can't let this thread fall off.. rielly out for fraser tomorrow night?!

Nonpartisan.

and if you want to discuss the "leaning" factor.. why are you so defensive? you should be throwing him under the bus for being a drug addict?

I don't know why you keep turning this to "left" and "right" when its just about the moral fiber of the individual in power.

..and of course you go off with the nicknames and labels again?

Just because I disagree with the indiscretions of the representative of a capital city does not mean i lean one way or the other.

When you're in a position of power you're supposed to be aware of the fact that you're always going to held to a higher standard, that you are essentially always going to be under the microscope all the time. Its part of the career. You have people that work for you to address this issue as well... It can keep unrolling but he still seems worth defending? At what point does an individual swallow their pride?

He does need help. I would not wish an addiction upon my worst enemy. Unfortunately supporters and friends are not the same. "Can't mix business and pleasure"

the man does not care about harm reduction whatsoever and has publicly slammed drug addicts... the irony
A man was killed not too long after, and it is still unsolved, with the video coming to light how are the authorities not supposed to leave "no stone left unturned"?

just to add a bit more grist to the mill

hahah! cherry kills me, can never finish and initial thought and runs off on tangents

make sure you get your license if you do, if you're staying in a plantation i believe each one has their own licenses as well.
there are lots of ponds throughout the island some fresh water that you can catch bass in, the brackish water ponds have sea trout
watch out for the gators haha, fishing the sound can be productive as well

Interesting that behaviour that many would not except from someone delivering newspapers is defended, if not celebrated, by the mayor of the largest cities in this country.

Agreed.

I don't know. Ask Kathleen Whine, McGumby and the rest of the crew who have saddled us and are riding us nose first into the dirt. Noticed she ain't said "boo" about Fordsy? . Why would we pick on her anyway? She and her cronies ain't done nuttin' wrong, have they Gomer? WOW!!!!! Only one connection to be made here folks. Stand up and be counted or else.

Its a completely separate issue. I believe they should be held accountable as well, but crossing the 2 issues is irrelevant. If you're going to defend something or someone, you should at least make yourself seem credible. The petty insults, lame nicknames, and generalizations do not do that for you.
