Why Has Harper Designated Calgary MP Rob Anders As 'Untouchable'?
"The nomination process in Calgary West has turned into a disgraceful game of charades, those battling to unseat the incumbent Tory MP in the riding charged yesterday.
Unless the Conservative riding association changes the rules back to reflect a more democratic approach to nominations, controversial MP Rob Anders is well on his way to his second acclamation in less than a year, said Calgary businessman and nomination hopeful Walter Wakula.
"If they wanted to grandfather him into the candidacy, then they should've just done that instead of coming up with this kind of a contest ... it's just crazy," he said. "
Buckdog has been following the Rob Anders case for sometime. Stay tuned for further developments!

Whooee! Don't hold yer breath waitin' fer a democratic approach from the guys who literally wrote the book on how to stifle democracy.
It's tough to figger why Anders is so sacrosanct. He just the sorta right-wing loose-lipped loon that gets Harp in trouble with outlandishisms. I reckon they figger if they can't have a true Harperite in Calgary, they ain't runnin' the show.
I figger Harper's got his reasons an' if you were to ask he'd tell it straight out -- "Because I said so."

Yes, I wonder what the attachment is really about. The Blogging Tories seem kinda silent on this topic.

This is the kind of mystery where the silence of Tories, in general, is deafening.
My friend insists, that Rob Anders must be in possession of some very embarrassing photos!???? Hahahaha!
