Liz May said something in a recent interview with Peter Mansbridge that is so offensive, so disgusting it leaves one incredulous.
To explain her own lack of good judgement and moral courage she used the defense commonly known as "But I'm a girl".
Shame, shame shame!!!
It starts out at minute 8 when Mansbridge gets into her accusation that Stephen Harper cheated in the last debate. After being asked why she didn't address her claim immediately at the debate she rambled a bit about why she didn't bring it up then but then there it is at minute 10:15. She claimed that she didn't take a stand against what she clearly thought was the Prime Minister cheating by saying it was a "gender related school issue".

What the?!?!?!?!
She can't call someone out because as a girl she was taught not to be confrontational in school? Really?!?!?
So because she's a girl she wasn't able to confront the Prime Minister for cheating? She's running for the hardest job in the land.
Being Prime Minister is all about confrontation. Every single day in the big chair there is going to be someone confronting, challenging and doing everything they can to maneuver and manipulate the PM and she just told Canada that she will fold quicker than a lawn chair at the first sign of rain at a folk festival!
Clearly Elizabeth May can't handle this kind of confrontational job being the delicate petite fleur of a girl that she is!
She done a great disservice to Canadian women because she reinforced the idea that a woman doesn't have the balls or rather ovaries to make the tough decisions. This is not a message that should be coming out of the mouth of a female political leader. But then again, Liz May isn't much of a leader is she?
If I saw someone cheating, I would do the right thing and call them out. And I would do it because I am a girl who was taught to do the right thing.

Lizzy a girl! Fooled me thought her to be Michael Moore in drag.
ReplyDeleteAnd you don,t mention how he cheated.Maybe he just had too much brains for her one track mind.
ReplyDeleteWatch the interview Bertie, that's why I posted the link.
ReplyDeleteShe said he brought in notes when they weren't allowed to.
I think that this claim of hers in muckraking - she is making a claim two years after the fact.
But that isn't the point of this blogpost. It's about May's percieved victimhood.
I find it fascinating that none of the "boys" didn't call out the Prime Minister for cheating if that's really the case - she was sitting across the table from him.
ReplyDeleteOf course, is it also cheating at a debate to repeatedly talk over someone's answers, or to have 4 supposedly independant participants attempt to gang up on the 5th?
She also lied when she said PM Harper didn't want her in the debate last time. Jack Layton didn't want her in it either. The only ones who did want her there were Dion(He offered her a senate seat remember?) and Duceppe. What did she do when she was there? Poke her finger an inch from PM Harpers eye and drown him out. She was there as a second Liberal. Such democracy. Don't worry...if her so called cheating story were true , she would of been hollering through the roof tops. Never saw a debate before without notes either.Better then brown envelopes stuffed with cash.
ReplyDeleteOntario Girl
Ms May has it right - we don't want a girl as PM. A woman would be okay, though.
ReplyDeletePreferably a woman in the mold of Mrs Thatcher.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, there goes dizzy Lizzy playing the old and worn out victim card. Being Prime Minister is not based on the sex of the person, as Lady Thatcher demonstrated. Now she was a better "man" than any male British PM since Churchill.
ReplyDeleteIf I recall, all debators had notes infront of them. So, what is her problem? At least she was not there ti interrupt everybody with her screeming and finger pointing.
