Pat Martin Is a fool

In a ctv.ca story NDP MP Pat Martin has once again made a fool of himself in his rush to condemn the Conservative Party for legal expenses before properly uncovering the facts.

In this story, he complains that ridings are "misrepresenting the value of the polling" they had conducted. he basis this assessment on a quote he obtained by personally calling a polling firm for 400 people. Well, Pat, did it ever occur to you that maybe these polling calls were supposed to reach more than 400 people???

In elections, races are won and lost on the basis of their lists of supporters and the Get Out The Vote (GOTV) effort, which you get my conducting calls to people and asking them if they will support you. And, trust me, you need more than 400 people listed as supporters .

Maybe he was confused because the NDP is used to only being able to find 400 supporters in their ridings and assumed we would all have such low support...

Pat Martin has become the most negative MP in the country! Once a respected MP, his demeanor has changed so much over the past year. The ethics committee position has gone to his head.
