| The Liberals have no Choice but to be Bold |

It looks like the party is content to let the sponsorship scandal wash over them. Why? To use an old cliché, the best defense is a good offense. One of the only respites the Liberals have had in the sponsorship scandal coverage has been the gay marriage debate. Why stop with gay marriage? The Conservatives did their utmost to avoid issues, such as euthanasia, at their party convention last month and, at least in the case of euthanasia, with good reason. The Liberals should send up a euthanasia trail balloon before the Terri Shivio retreats from public memory altogether. The days of polling for policy are over. The damage done by the Gomery allegations can only be tempered by bold policy initiatives (e.g. government sanctioned euthanasia and legalized pot). (I have spoken about the marijuana issue here. http://www.tblog.com/templates/index.php?bid=koby&" title="http://www.tblog.com/templates/index.php?bid=koby&" target="_blank"http://www.tblog.com/template...;static=427382) The Liberals have to take the fight to the Conservatives and try to turn the next election into a referendum on these issues rather than on what the Conservatives want it to be on, viz., Liberal trustworthiness. A side benefit of forcing comment on these subjects is that Gallant or some other Conservative will run their mouth off. After all, one of the storylines for the next election will be can Stephen Harper control the social conservative wing of his party? |
