The chutzpah! The gall! The nerve! The Librano$$$!

The Federal Liberals are demanding that the Federal Accountability Act, being held up by Liberal senators, be either delayed or amended to enable them to haul in larger donations from individuals.
They claim that limiting individual donations is undemocratic. (Since when did they begin to care about democracy anyway?)
And they fail to realize that Canadians believe that large individual donations can make the Liberals, as well as other parties, beholden to generous donors. This is why corporate and union donations are illegal and individual donations are to be limited to $1,000 each from over $5,000 at present.
Guess the Librano$$$ have trouble finding many people who would give them any money and want to make up for it by demanding larger sums from their loyalists, probably backed up with promises to scratch their backs again like before, when they get the chance (which could be never again).
Librano Ian Davey blusters:
''It says it all about what kind of government we've got,'' he said. ''It's the iron fist, just a lousy way to run a country.''
Heh-heh-heh... look who's talking! Canadians remember not all that fondly what kind of government the Liberals were. That's why they were defeated in the last election and why their support levels and donation intake continues to rapidly dwindle literally from coast to coast. Iron fist? Liberals ruled with one. Lousy way to run a country? Why do they think they lost the election?
Methinks the Librano$$$ do protest too much!
Prime Minister Stephen harper's response to the Liberal whining was thus:
Harper said last week he would ''absolutely not'' go along with any amendment to the Federal Accountability Act that would exempt Liberal convention attendees. He called for prompt passage of the legislation, saying the unelected Senate, particularly the Liberal majority, has no business changing fundamental principles of the law approved last week in the House of Commons.
The Librano$$$ just make themselves look more and more pathetic with advancing time, don't they?
If the Liberal Party was all that deserving of support and donations, they'd be riding high in the polls and taking in plenty of cash from a whole lot of members. But that simply isn't the case, and they know it, hence their petulant whining about having to obey the law.
Librano$$$... always looking to be above the law!
Waaaah! Boo-hoo-hoo! Librano$$$!
