Oops...another Conservative saying things that PM Steve will have to explain

Let's just look at the way that was done:

The Tories Run Gay Nutter In TO!
Chris Reid was a former candidate for Toronto City Council in 2006. He is now running for the Tories in Toronto Center. Chris runs a blog, Political Thoughts From A Gay Conservative which recently was made "members only". Fortunately, google-cache lets us in on some of Chris' earlier posts.

For example, here's Chris on that terrible prairie bus stabbing:

A man with a knife was able to go on a murderous rampage decapitating a fellow human being. The rest of the bus was unarmed and helpless. What was the generous Canadian thing to do? Help a fellow human being? No. Flee in terror. Passengers and the bus driver stood by and watched another person being butchered, and couldn't muster up any courage or self sacrifice to intervene. This is where socialism as gotten us folks, a castrated effeminate population.

This is a perfect example of why we need concealed-carry handgun legislation in this country, so we can defend one another and deter horrible events such as this. But what are our politicians talking about? More government regulation and security.

Chris wants laws that allow us to tote around concealed hand-guns.

And here's Chris considers trashing the Canadian Health Act:

I do know the one main issue that stands in the way of a consumer driven health care system is the Canada Health Act. However, courts in Quebec have concluded that people cannot be barred from purchasing their own health care. I wonder if a similar challenge in Ontario would yield a similar result?

And here's Chris on the plight of native protester Bob Lovelace:

What bothers me about these perpetually aggrieved people is their obsession with wanting to stay victims so they can tell other people to fix their problems.

Here's some of Chris' "Conservative Solutions" for a better Canada:

A flax income tax, or better yet, eliminate personal and business income taxes all together, and just have a consumption tax to promote investing which would raise people's living standards.

[...]

Ending abortion.

[...]

Allow law abiding citizens who are qualified and trained to carry concealed handguns for personal protection. It's the only proven way to reduce violent crime and murder. If women and gays really wanted to stop being victims of hate crimes, they'd be in support of this, but judging from discussions, they'd rather be helpless and rely on government.

I especially like this last bit. Women and Gays who don't support legislation that lets you pack around a .45 magnum want to stay victims. Are we apologizing yet, Chris? I sense one coming.

Chris on author Linda McQuaig:

The reality is that McQuaig wants Canada to do badly, because the worse Canada does, the more books she will sell. Despite her emotional rhetorical skills, she is getting rich by exploiting the deaths of our soldiers.

Chris on his fellow gays:

What I found them to tolerate is promoting promiscuity, drug usage, and prostitution.

Trust the Tories to find the one gay crazy in TO. No wonder he didn't want too many people reading his blog.

I'm a conservative and I approve of what he said.
I don't see any reason why he should step down.

In fact, if you continue to look at that dreary little blog, you see an example of why politicians of any stripe shouldn't waste time with bloggers.

We understand that. Harper most likely approves too. The thing is that Harper doesn't want the general population to know that he approves of such cretinism.

[ridenrain]

Aside from the typical and groundless slander of the Prime Minister, these opinions have been quite clear and consistant on this forum. You should try to pay attention more instead of just trolling during elections.

Again, I don't see why he should step down in any case. After all, who listens to Liberal bloggers in any case. After all, look who he's against:

I understand he is a good guy. Some say Cretien was a good guy. Some say Trudeau was a good guy. Some say BS. Con say Harper is a good guy.

[Reverend Blair]

Actually, Ridenrain, my opinions of Harper are based on his political history and public statements since he was leading the NCC in the charge to destroy healthcare in this country. That's a long while. I've been following the Reform/Alliance/Conservatives since before they were a real party. If Steve doesn't like the things I say about him, he's welcome to try to sue me.

[ridenrain]

Do you want to prove that Harper and Chris Reid share the exact same position on the bus crime event? Can you prove that Harper believes in concealed carry for Canadians?
Don't waste our time with further distractions because you cannot. All you'll do is trounce out more partisan crap.

Why don't you tell us instead why such a progressive person would lead an attack by calling their oponent a "gay nutter"? Strange to even bring that up, isn't it?

[Streaker]

Regardless, the CONS are better off without the guy....

[ridenrain]

Since you believe that Canada is better off without the CPC, you're not exactly objective. I personally think canada is better without you too.

[Zipperfish]

The guy is gay and he's calling me, as a Canadian, effeminate? Sheesh. Whatever buddy--I'm not the one taking it up the ass. Good riddance.

How would Canada be better off without people like me?
