This is a link centric site. So throw up some links and it will shut up the people calling for them, and you can get on with the discussion.
Sometimes this fascination with links gets a little surreal. Gunnair and Canadian Mind wanted me to provide links that scientifically "proved" that rape was a fate worth than death. Of course I only had links that showed the history of the expression, one I assumed was familiar to us all.
Beware tho. The next trick is to impugn the source of the link. So if you provide links on this topic, the rebuttal will be that he MSM is has an obvious liberal bias, and it will be assumed that wins the discussion.
Then there's the "yawn, you're shocked there's corruption in politics" response, from posters who were shocked, shocked I tell you by Adscam. It's worse when Liberals do it tho, even if that was then and this is now. But this is likely to bring down the CPC as much as it did the Liberals - arrogance and they rule for a while, and increasing evidence of corruption.
Cmon Andy, you can do better that that......
In the immortal word of our resident Beachblackdiamond guy...
FAIL!
However, I will perform an act of good faith to satisfy your rant...
"All politicians will eventually become corrupt."
