Political Play of the Week - Jack on mark with his comments on low flying Erin!!!

Erin Selby has proven on Day 1 of the Election Campaign in Manitoba that she is ill equipped and not a serious contender for office. She should go back to reading script and playing "happy smiley" and leave the art of politics to other more serious candidates- of both genders. Her outrage for comments made by Jack Reimer, a man of integrity and honour and whom if you knew even an iota of what he does and represents would respect for not only his approach but also his commitment to the good people of Niakwa/Southdale. The very public offense which Ms. Selby chose to share is a sign that the NDP will stop at nothing to "make issues out of nothing" and take the low road. Pointedly, the "talk-a-lot-do-nothing" NDP were set to ask for a public apology from the PC's for Jack Reimer's comments that Erin Selby, a former TV Host on the lowest rated TV station in Manitoba and in fact a women, was nothing more than wall paper at a recent announcement by the "Tax and Spend" NDP leader Gary Doer from Southdale. Jack Reimer the PC representative of the past two decades was on mark as the NDP are trying to make something out in the riding that do not have a hope in winning. I mean affluent young families want good quality honest representation not tokenism. They have received good quality representation under Reimer and Liberal Herold Dreidger before him. Say what you want about Jack but he has done his work, made everything in the constituency a priority had Perogy Wednesday every week of his tenure and made a point to stay in touch. An example of his commitment came to me in 1992. At the time I lived in the riding and was the Provincial Liberal Riding Association President for 5 years in the 90's. I found it hard not to like the man but above all I respected his commitment. Upon my graduation from U of M and my acceptance at Law School he sent me letters of congratulations. I phoned and thanked him as I thought it was a nice touch. Ms. Selby attempt to accuse the man of making a poor gender related comment which was i fact the truth she did not do anything other than provide a smiling happy face for Doer. Ms. Selby is just plain wrong and brings politician into a very low morale ground with her shameful comments. Shame on you NDP and shame on you Erin Selby and I hope the voters of Southdale see through your thinly vieled facade.
