Hoping, Pleading for a Scandal

Here we go again.


It appears the Liberal Party is not satisfied with besmirching former PM, Brian Mulroney and that whole Karl Heinz Schreiber debacle that was clearly much ado about nothing. Clearly the Libs can't beat the Conservatives at the poles for the time being, so I guess they'll try and beat them in the court of public opinion. Now they're going after the man himself, current Prime Minister, the Right Honorable Stephen Harper.

Harper, the Liberals hope, is engaged in a "scandal" of sorts, wherein he allegedly offered a dying independent MP a $1 million life insurance policy to help with the toppling of the old guard that was the Paul Martin government.

The story goes as such:

Before the Canadian general election of 2005, independent MP Chuck Cadman was dying of cancer. He has since passed. The Liberals now charge that the Prime Minister gave the green light, if not made by himself, for members of the Conservative Party to make Cadman the offer so his vote would help to put Martin and his cabinet out of office. The Liberals even want the RCMP to investigate. As if with the "Adscam" going on over the "purchases" of votes in Quebec, the CPC needed further ammunition to turn the tide their way.

Now it seems there is video evidence of Harper doing the deed. But apparently, the "evidence" is circumstantial at best. At first, even Cadman's widow backed up the story, but now it seems she has had a change of either heart or facts.

Nipping this one in the bud and perhaps beating Stephane Dion and the Liberal Party to the punch, Harper is threating to sue Dion, invariably bringing this affair and all its details to the foreground for all to see. Doesn't sound like a man with something to hide.

With this and Schrieber and all the other non-stories the MSM and the Libs love to facilitate, why is ti, the consrvartives are the ones with the faux history of corruption and lies?
