    Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha.

    In his own mind, perhaps. However, the way he carries on around here does not lead one to the word 'respect'.

      So why didn't Nash and Turing? Babbage?

      Are they not "true scientists"?

          I don't know for respect, but anyone with the least brains can see Agathon manages to trounce about anyone on Poly when they try to have a philosophical debate. From what I read, he sounds competent and intelligent. Ask him why he thinks gay marriage should be legalized, and compare the answer with Belinda's.

          YES.
          Extreme competence? Chretien? Do we live in the same country...?
          I said HIS PARTY. Chretien would have made a #1 dictator in any banana republic.

          Besides, no, we DON'T live in the same country.

            Yet another scandal. Has to do with crown corporations, Liberal politicians, Quebec, and $100M.

              Latest polls show the Liberals have 42% support across the country. The Conservatives, even with the publicity boost of their leadership "election" and the sponsorship corruption, are at 32%.

              The Conservative support will drop after Stronach gets "elected".

                It's his field, why shouldn't he?

                On the other hand, he manages to get trounced whenever he debates anything outside his field...

                  Is it not conceivable that the conservative's number could go up once an actual leader is elected? Many people (myself included) would not support a conservative government if Harper was the leader, and so far I think he's going to win. I would've voted against the conservatives if polled that right now.

                    Normally, there would be a boost in support immediately after a leader is selected, but the rules for the Conservative race will cause major divisions.

                    Under the Conservative rules, each riding gets a X-number of vote regardless of how many party members are in the riding. So 10 Conservative party members in Outremount, Quebec have the same voting power as 10,000 Conservative members in High River Alberta.

                    Next add in the fact that Stronach controls the Quebec riding associations.

                    How do you think western Conservatives will react when they see Quebec hijacking their party?

                      And since YOU don't have any field, except for living in Alberta...

                      No, you didn't -- you said "he ruled over his party with extreme competence".


                      That's it, I said HIS PARTY, as in he's a competent streetfighter, good to create relations. Geez, he started as a farmer and he ended prime minister.

                        Yes he did say "his party". Chretien ruled over his party with extreme competence, according to Boris, but that doesn't mean he translated this competence in his rule over Canada.

                          The need for an alternative will eventually outweigh most other considerations.

                          What some of the posters in this thread hope is that the ND will be that alternative when the time comes. That is why they point to a 10 point gap for the Liberals over the Conservatives and ignore the fact that poll numbers for their own party dropped.

                          Personally, I give Martin the next election. He will win it I am fairly sure. The question is whether we want an opposition headed up by a vet who knows how the game works, or do we want to give a rookie 4 years of on the job training.

                            Huh?

                            Your sentence commented on his leadership ability, not his party's competence.

                            I would think a competent leader would have far less scandals and foreign affair screwups that Chretien has had.

                                He did say "his party", but the comment was he ruled over his party. Ruled being the active verb, his party being the noun...

                                I was taking issue with him saying he ruled his party with extreme competence, because I don't think he did a very good job at all. The only reason they kept getting re-elected is because the Right was a total mess and still sore over Mulroney.
