Way To Go Joe

Way To Go Joe

March 22, 2007 @ 08:55

Believe me, I'm not being partisan when I say this - Joe Comuzzi is a great Canadian.

The veteran Liberal MP for Thunder Bay and former cabinet minister was thrown out of the Liberal caucus yesterday for pledging that he would support the Tories latest budget.

Limp dick Liberal leader Stephane Dion threw a shit-fit yesterday and mumbled something through his horrendous English about Comuzzi breaking tradition and not toeing the party line on important confidence votes like the budget.

So Comuzzi was banished from the Liberals and will now spend his remaining days as an independent MP.

But please, do not confuse this with the floor crossings of Belinda, Garth and Wajit. It's nothing like that.

Joe Comuzzi is not defecting and was acting solely on behalf of his constituents. Comuzzi intends to vote in favour of the budge because it contains funding for a molecular cancer research centre in his riding.

Having been instrumental in getting the centre off the ground, Comuzzi said he couldn't vote against a budget that would keep the centre open and employ 300 people.

Bravo Joe - you were voted in by you constituents and that's who you have to answer to at the end of the day. You're a man of principle.

You're also 73 years old and didn't plan to run again so why do you give a shit what you're pathetic leader thinks.

Way to go. It is nice to see someone actual use their position to better that of the people that elected them and not bow to pressure for stupid ass reasons.

See! When I say we vote for the person and not for the Party in our system, this is the sort of thing I am talking about! This guy absolutely did the right thing.

I can't believe this kind of thing is allowed in a democracy??? How is it that Dion can arbitrarily eject a member of caucus when it is the people who elected him. ??? Our parliamentary system in deeply flawed...

It's amazing how conservatives jump all over this when they have done the same thing several times in history.

Sweet Pam, what do you mean how is this allowed to happen?! It's effing great! Like Fred said, Joe made the choice that represented the people who voted him in the first place and that's as close to democracy as it's gonna get!

Definitely accept everything you stated. Your explanation was certainly the easiest to comprehend. I say to you, I usually get irked when folks discuss problems that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail close to the head and explained out everything without complication. Maybe, people can take a sign. Will likely return to get more. Thanks.

I admire what you have done here. I like the part where you say you are doing this to give back but I would assume by all the comments that this is working for you as well.

Why is Constructing a Mosque at Ground Zero honestly sanctioned to take place? I've never heard a single thing so altogether strange in all my entire life. If this actually goes to reality, It will likely to be the hardest situation ever in your life. vera
