Reply #58: do you ever, ever consider [View All]

... knowing what you're talking about before bashing that keyboard?

I said:

"And now, I'm off to vote in today's Ontario election ... buh bye, Republican-wannabe Tories; the winners will unfortunately be the Liberals, but hey, anybody but Ernie Eves!"

You ask:

"I dont get it, are you calling the gun owners on this board Republican-wannabe tories? Are you also saying liberals cant own guns? Thats a bid of a broad brush youre stroking and a personal attack on everyone here who owns guns if you call us all Republican-Wannabe tories. This board does not allow conservatives."

Jeezus bleeding christ.

I was calling the REPUBLICAN-WANNABE TORIES "Republican-wannabe Tories".

The "Tories" are the current GOVERNING PARTY OF ONTARIO.
Formally called the "Progressive Conservative Party", known as "Tories" since bloody time immemorial.

The "Liberals" are the soon-to-be GOVERNING PARTY OF ONTARIO.
Formally called the "Liberal Party in Ontario", I believe.

The polls close at 8 p.m., and by 9 p.m. we will know who the new government is. For the first time in my voting-age life, I will not be at a poll scrutineering the count (acting as a representative of my party, observing the counting of ballots and challenging any irregularities); it was just a bad month for an election, for me.

I am not a supporter of the Liberal Party; I am a member of the New Democratic Party (which formed the Ontario government in the early 90s). I do not look forward to a Liberal provincial government, in absolute terms. However, if it meant getting rid of the present Tories, I would rejoice if the Rhinoceros Party won. Hence, paraphrasing the "anybody but Bush" motto and applying it to our soon-to-be ex-Premier, I said "anybody but Ernie Eves!"


"No answer yet so i am guess you meant you were going to vote out the conservative torries and wasnt talking about us gun nuts."

No, you reached that conclusion all by yourself? Hey, Sherlock. Next time you might want to think first and shoot second, and only if actually necessary.

And consider the possibility that not everything is all about you, whether singular or plural.
