Paul Martin is Amazing

Certainly, he'll say anything. His latest mantras, repeated faithfully by a press that has given up entirely on saying anything substantially critical about the Liberal party (other than screaming "MINORITY!!! MINORITY!!!" on a regular basis), are as follows:
* "politicians should keep their promises"
* "health care, not tax cuts are our first priority"
For anyone who has minimal knowledge of Paul Martin's record, this is pure orwellian insanity! To the press, apparently, it's just another claim that can be repeated as if the source is pure of mind and heart, and history doesn't exist.
The basic facts: Paul Martin reduced transfers to provinces by 40%, creating the crisis of health care funding that we have today. Then, when he had massive budget surpluses to play around with, he spent them all on tax cuts, the vast majority of which went to the rich.
