Joke Layton Strikes Again

MPs got back to work last week

Jack Layton today

"Nothing makes people more cynical about politics than when parties don't do what they say, don't stand up for what they believe."

Jack Layton September 3rd when Stephen Harper prorogued Parliament

"By his actions, Stephen Harper is effectively locking out MPs. We have work to do. Everyday families are counting on us, but Stephen Harper is preventing us from getting down to work,"

I guess the NDP only wanted to work for two weeks…

If they really want to take Canadians to the polls, all they need to do is abstain on the Liberal amendment to the budget.

Here is Layton again today

"We think Mr. Harper is wrong in fundamental ways and when that happens people expect a party to stand up for its principles,''

You want to defeat the entire Throne Speech, abstain from the amendment, or else you are just posturing. The NDP really wants an election. This is their opportunity. By standing up against that amendment, they are sitting on their hands, like hypocrites.

Oh yeah, "Nothing makes people more cynical about politics than when parties don't do what they say, don't stand up for what they believe."
