Chantal Hébert: Liberals march to distant beat of Tory drummer (in the Toronto Star)

Chantal nails it again. Why does Iggy keep painting himself into a corner, just because he doesn't want to give Harper more ammunition? He has way more ammo against Dictator Steve - if he would only start to use it...

Quotes from the article:

"But Ignatieff’s bigger problem is that he said on Saturday something that he would not say the day before or earlier in the week or, for that matter, for the past two years.

"If the Liberal leader was convinced that it was inappropriate for a Canadian government to be run by a coalition of parties or to formally secure Bloc support to make Parliament work more productively, he could have abstained from signing the coalition pact crafted by his predecessor, Stéphane Dion, in 2008. ...

"It is not the first time the Liberals fail to hold their ground under sustained Conservative fire.

"On the same basis, Ignatieff dropped his party’s carbon tax after a single campaign and he will be spending the next five weeks promising to eliminate the deficit, expand the social safety net and keep Medicare funding on a secure footing without raising a single individual tax.

"That distant beat that the Liberals have been marching to is that of a Conservative drummer."
