PAUL MARTIN: Mr. Harper, its come to Canadians' attention your party is being taken over by a Christian so-con cabal. My question to you Sir, is: have you now or ever been a Bible-carrying committed Christian?
STEPHEN HARPER: We don't have any hidden agenda. We believe faith is a personal matter. Our so con candidates don't make party policy. I worship God but believe in keeping faith and public policy separate.
PAUL MARTIN: You've just admitted you have fellow travelers inside your party. And you can't admit to Canadians you have an agenda they don't share. Despite your protestations to the contrary, you are committed to giving Bible Carrying Christians in your party's councils influence that threatens our democratic way of life. That Sir, will not stand in Canada under my watch!
STEPHEN HARPER: This is outrageous! You're twisting words and making it look like we're guilty of a conspiracy of some sort. Our party stands for tolerance and diversity of opinion. The last thing on earth you Liberals should be doing is questioning our patriotism! I demand you take your last comments back.
PAUL MARTIN: My opponent doth protest too much. No Canadian political party should be giving space to people known to impose their beliefs on others. The last refuge of a patriot is an imposter and a scoundrel. We the Liberals, known full well there is a danger to Canada. To save our beloved country, you dear Canadian friends, must vote accordingly to keep Bible Carrying Christians at bay. God Save The Queen And God Save Canada!
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
Canada is just lost period... Any nation that gives the world Terrrance and Phillip, Asses on Fire and Bryan Adams is just lost...
I am a Christian. There is no way that my being a Christian cannot define how I vote. It is what I am.
Did you make up that interchange, or was it real?
