Conservative Party headquarters -- still using the old talking points

Here is a copy of a form letter currently being sent by the Conservative Party of Canada to party members concerned about the abusive and corrupt Canadian Human Rights Commission.

It's a more succinct version of the infuriatingly condescending talking points that were drafted by the Justice Minister four months ago. Those talking points were worse than dead silence on the matter, because they implied that the recipient of such second-rate bumf would be gullible enough to be mollified by them. Even silence would have been less disrespectful than that attempt at "spin".

Well, after being savaged by hundreds (thousands?) of party members, and the subject of a half-dozen discussions in caucus, last month Rob Nicholson finally amended his form letter reply, promising a Parliamentary review of the matter. It's not much, and it hasn't even begun, but it is, at least, a concession that there are problems.

It's probably time for the Conservative Party to stop using Nicholson's old talking points. I'm not sure that his new stance is going to convince members to re-start their donations again, but it will surely be less off-putting than his original, "full stonewall" PFO letter.
