And Another Liberal Myth Bites the Dust

Ever since the Ignatief and Rae came out in favour of an extension to the Afghanistan mission, LPC apologists have been claiming that there's tons - tons, I tell you! - of Liberal MPs who are up in arms about the stance the party leaders have taken. These anonymous MPs, so the apologists say, vehemently oppose the measure.

Warren Kinsella, whose web page I've linked to before, would be one such apologist.

This claim may, in fact, be true. Ultimately, though, it doesn't matter because these anonymous Liberal gainsayers never bother to actually speak up. Not even when it comes to the Bloc's largely toothless Afghan motion, which has been defeated 209-81.

Every single Liberal MP present voted against the motion.

Every. Single. One.

The Liberal Party of Canada is a bunch of useless twats, no matter what their apologists might claim. If they can't even manage a largely meaningless moral stance on this issue, then there's really not much point in making any "big tent" claims, because the only opinion that matters is Iggy's.

UPDATE: There were four Liberal MPs absent from the vote: Cuzner, Fry, Volpe, Folco.
