Liberals vote to support "abuse of power" and support the Conservatives

Green Assassin Brigade: Abuse of Power
Liberals = spineless and confused:
Excerpt:
What has me bent out of shape today is a quote I saw in this
CTV article
on the Liberal refusal to support an amendment to the
budget bill pulling out all the bits and pieces that don’t belong in the
budget.

Liberal Leader Michael
Ignatieff has criticized the budget legislation as a "dumpster bill" but
says he's not prepared to force an election over what he calls "an
abuse of power."

We all differ on
policy issues, that’s the nature of the game. I can even understand
taking a boot to the groin once in awhile and voting for a bill you
don’t really like for expediency but don’t you dare announce that a bill
is an “abuse of power” and then support it.

There is nothing
more important in our system than standing up against the abuse of power
and to openly label the budget bill an abuse and then support it is
nothing less than legitimatizing abuse.

Be very clear on this,
Michael Ignatieff is now on record as both minimizing the importance of
and supporting the continuation of the abuse of power. Those Liberals
who voted with the government yesterday should be ashamed of themselves;
they are now officially enemies of good government.

It's quite
simple, if you support the abuse of power by others you are no more
worthy to serve Canadians than those who actually abuse power.
