I'm not entirely certain that weblog entries qualify as a saleable product.<BR/><BR/>And the difference between Liblogs and the Blogging Tories is that the former is going to be a actual corporate entity for liability (and possibly taxation) purposes, while the latter is just an aggregator.VWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00950823647106431443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13900996.post-1143686911400843982006-03-29T21:48:00.000-05:002006-03-29T21:48:00.000-05:00The funny thing is, The Liberals tried to paint th...<I>The funny thing is, The Liberals tried to paint the Blogging Tories as being some official third party during the election.</I><BR/><BR/>Wrong, that was your own disgruntled people. Carol Jamieson is not a Liberal.<BR/><BR/>As for this, Joan, I fail to see why it's such a problem when conservatives have a whole host of payola factories for rewarding the party faithful. Organizations like the Fraser Institute and the CTF exist primarily to put money into the hands of those who work to promote conservatism. So why is it wrong for Jason to do the same for liberalism?Robert McClellandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441059623685149683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13900996.post-1143680110052480702006-03-29T19:55:00.000-05:002006-03-29T19:55:00.000-05:00The funny thing is, The Liberals tried to paint th...The funny thing is, The Liberals tried to paint the Blogging Tories as being some official third party during the election.<BR/><BR/>Now, Liblogs is looking to become just that. <BR/><BR/>Would this go against the Liberals' own third party financing rules?Michael Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15225767793602935802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13900996.post-1143674390261796012006-03-29T18:19:00.000-05:002006-03-29T18:19:00.000-05:00I don't understand your complaint.

If we are able to raise enough money to do anything else, then I would think that we are only following the advice of Adam Daifallah to Conservatives.Jason Cherniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12473304114206630747noreply@blogger.com
