The Conservatives sought last night to destroy Labour claims that they would cut public services by issuing a formal pledge to match Gordon Brown’s spending plans.

Does that absolve them totally?
E.g. Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK, but I would have killed him too.

Like my old dad used to say-
"Son, never get into an argument about any of these 3 things: Religion, Politics, or Football. The first has caused more wars than the other 2, the second is about people who send people to war, and the third is tribal conflict between different sections of the population.."I think this job really needs
a much bigger hammer.

Such is the stupidity of large swathes of our electorate that, pre-credit crunch, the parties effectively got into a vote-winning bidding war about how much public money they could each throw down the drain.No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.
The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.

Erm...
But would you? Would you have really said in an interview, at the time, that you wanted to kill JFK? Before it happened?
If GO didn't believe it why say it unless he is wholly duplicitous?"If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

They're all about tribal conflicts between different sections of the population.No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.
