I have written numerous posts supporting Dion. See, for example, <A HREF="http://yappadingding.blogspot.com/2008/09/intelligent-experienced-sincere.html" REL="nofollow">Intelligent, Experienced, Sincere, Passionate, Honest - What's Wrong With That? </A>. My only negative post was <A HREF="http://yappadingding.blogspot.com/2008/09/okay-now-i-see-problem.html" REL="nofollow">Okay, Now I See the Problem</A>, but it was balanced by half a dozen others supporting Dion and criticizing Tory attacks on him.<BR/><BR/>As for what I did to help the party, I donated generously during the campaign; I worked for my local candidate, making cold calls and then scrutineering on election day; I left numerous comments on online newspaper articles; and I wrote numerous blog posts arguing the Liberal case.<BR/><BR/>I did all this because I was being a party loyalist. I was never easy with Dion as leader. I kept my misgivings almost entirely to myself because the decision was made and it would only hurt the party to express them. But now is the time for Liberals to voice their opinions on the issue of leadership. It is not only the appropriate time, but it is the time that we should speak out.Yappahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18126433451905766475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-58222251280938662882008-10-16T11:42:00.000-04:002008-10-16T11:42:00.000-04:00Seems to me, Yappa, that you were among those bash...Seems to me, Yappa, that you were among those bashing Dion since he won the leadership in 2006. From Day One. So what, pray tell, did you do to help out the party since the leadership or during the recent campaign? Other than criticising from afar, that is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-29369502154889291322008-10-16T11:30:00.000-04:002008-10-16T11:30:00.000-04:00then you are not a liberalthen you are not a liberalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-47123634539633857702008-10-16T01:41:00.000-04:002008-10-16T01:41:00.000-04:00If he is wise Dion will step down!
