Old Ironmaker Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 With out going into detail of what has transpired this morning in Toronto, I can tell you in my opinion he is the only class act in this entire "Zoo". If a vote were to be taken today and I could vote he would be getting mine. I wish we had a guy like him here. We wouldn't be in this mess with the land dispute in Caledonia with the First Nation folks, or the wind turbines being pushed down our throats without any say. I couldn't say that about him after this circus all started in May, I had based an opinion of him without knowing what the guy was all about. As I'm sure many have.
landry Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Wow. What did he do to convince u of that. It would have to be a pretty sensational story.
Headhunter Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Based on the thread title, it had better be a really big grill! HH
Richie Razor Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 I like Rob Ford, I hope he stays in power and sticks it to everyone who wants to bring him down. How could anyone support these dolts on council? Denzil Minnan-wong, Karen Stintz, or Adam Vaughn???? People love Rob Ford, the more he gets bullied I'll bet the more support he gets.

jbailey Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) 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. Edited November 13, 2013 by JBailey

Twocoda Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 I would think he has surpassed Rudy Guilianie (sp?) as the most famous mayor in the world...
kickingfrog Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 I long ago learned to never underestimate the stupidity of the electorate.

outllaw Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 from Windsor Ontario. I feel sorry for your representation in office.
mukluk Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 I don't care about Rob's private life or even if he can "blow smoke rings out his butt." Bottom line is saving the taxpayers money. I sent him an e-mail several months ago asking him to come to Pickering after he is done with Toronto; then on to Ottawa. I have had it with scamming politicians.
jbailey Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 You're being scammed right now haha.

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.
SirCranksalot Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Bottom line is saving the taxpayers money. Actually, no. Or at least nothing even close to what he claims! Imagine the nerve of him---stretching the truth re the $$ he's saving! http://www.thestar.com/yourtoronto/robford/2013/11/08/deconstructing_mayor_rob_fords_fiscal_record.html
davey buoy Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) Over the last week listening during lunch,the daily topic of what else Rob Ford has done now. He has no bering where I live,but I have to say in the half dozen companies I have been to in the last 8days,bottom line,they want him to get help,but if he's there next year to vote,they will have him again.I'd have to say close to 100% of the people that voted for him last time still will.Now this is in a reatively 30-80 employee plants.But the talk is the same. It's a lot of the outsiders adding there 2cents,when it really has no effect on there city/towns.That's why I say "we'll see".Toronto is a different bird. Edited November 13, 2013 by davey buoy

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.
Old Ironmaker Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Posted November 13, 2013 OK JB, agreed, but most lie till they die, we'll have to see how this thing plays out.
ehg Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) Rob Ford is an admitted crack cocaine user, drunk driver, admitted buying drugs today, oxycontinin user, charged for spousal abuse, alcoholic who for months and months was lying about all this, until he got caught. I like my neighbors in Toronto here. If he was my neighbor i would be scared for my children's safety. The Santa Claus parade starts about 300 yards from my home this weekend. Always one of the coolest things living so close. This mayor puts a big black mark on this occasion. ....I'll have to say to my kids .' there is Rudolph, there is Santa, there is our crack smoking mayor who is currently being in a murder investigation" All this just for saving me as a taxpayer 60 dollars on a car tax. Otherwise all my taxes, property , etc... are the same. As a resident i have saved little on tax but have explain to my kids, crack and murder because of it, probably during Santa Claus parade by my house. Edited November 13, 2013 by ehg
jbailey Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Wouldn't that make it the problem? How can you trust the guy again?
SirCranksalot Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Not what he was cracked up to be, you might say!!
davey buoy Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Wouldn't that make it the problem? How can you trust the guy again? As JD said,we'll have see how it plays out?Lookin like a rough road ahead.

Left I long ago learned to never underestimate the stupidity of the electorate. Just plain wrong. That's the same consideration Robs opponents afforded his supporters and that's the same moronic,socialistic thinking that will lead us to a different kind of self destruction I'm afraid. There is one inherent difference between Rob and those that would like to see him and others like him disappear. Rob might have a substance and/or alcohol abuse problem and with the proper support in place could deal with and possibly overcome it as I and many others hope. The rest of them have something that is far worse an impediment than anything Toronto's Mayor will have to deal with and that is "Entitlement". Its' a horrible affliction that the Un-Stupid have and up to this point there is no known cure for it. Just kindergarten kids whining and stomping their feet cause someone finally took their milk, cookies and nap mats away. GO ROB GO!!!!!!!!!
