Pot Calls The Kettle....

After all these years of Kim & Bob Richter bashing ToL Councillor Jordan Bateman for his support of the BC Liberal Party, once again they do exactly what they accuse others of doing. 

Everyone is well aware of the fact that Kim Richter ran with Glen Clark's BC NDP's and always comes back around to supporting her treasured NDP friends. This provincial campaign is no exception, as Kim Richter's website started pre-election with full video coverage of Langley NDP candidate Kathleen Stephany's delegation to Township Council. An event that Stephany termed as "non-political". Stephany used this "non-political" (wink) event to grandstand against the BC Liberals and all that jazz. We'll leave it at that, as we hear the NDP camp fully knows they will loose Langley and would rather fund law suits than campaigns.  

Stephany and the Browns Pitt group all remained silent (and refrained from any letters to editors and blog posts) after the provincial government, with significant Rich Coleman advocacy, reviewed the ecological impact of using the old gravel pit. As Transportation Minister Falcon promised,  the Liberals decided to preserve the pit and not risk impact to the aquifer. Thanks Rich, its a thankless job sometimes, especially with fair weather constituents, eh?

The full press court is now viable on the Richter website with video after video of the NDP candidate and events. A loyal Richter insider held his meet & greet for the NDP candidate as well, this past weekend. Interesting that we don't see the photos or videos of Richter shmoozing with the NDP candidate as of yet.  But rest assured as evident with the website work, Richter is right there to lend her support.

Of course its fine for council members to support whichever party they wish. By why bash Bateman and others, and be a hypocrite about it all? This is an old Richter game and it just goes on and on. Her vocal (few) supporters don't see any problems with it, just as long as it is Richter and not Bateman. Wink. Wink.

So folks, The Langley Record is your ONLY independent blog in Langley Township... just kidding. We all know that MLA Rich Coleman and Mary Polak are the best darn MLA's and Ministers that Langley has ever seen and we don't intend to let them stand alone after all their hard work for this community. Certainly no rookie with twisted ethics, nor any candidate-for-hire could come anywhere close to filling the shoes of Rich and Mary. 

Keep BC Strong.  Keep loudmouth opposition politicians at bay. The NDP likes to order off the extensive provincial menus to and just like their local Political Whip, they always seem to skip out on that darn bill.

I went to the other blog and started laughing when I saw the Kathleen Stephany interview by Sonya Patterson.

Question 1:

Sonya, why are you wearing sunglasses on top of your head when it is quite obvious that it is raining outside?

Question 2:

Kathleen, shouldn't you know what your NDP policies are for the Fraser Vally before you come on camera? Your hesitation tells me your not sure?

With this group of bandits, Richter's, Patterson's, Bysouth's, Milnerites, Kathleen is DOOMED!
Advice - If you want to run for office pick your associates better!

Hint - just watch the video (done by big Bxx) to see why!

Isn't the message here familiar Mr. Editor. The last time the NDP were in power they bankrupt the province and it took years for the Liberals to get out of debt. Now Richter wants a 0% tax increase (maybe .93% whatever that is) and that will only bankrupt the Township in years to come. My sources tell me with her select tax increases, there will be lots of debt short term and long term, no money for Capital, and no reserves left for future years. Wow, no wonder she loves the NDP!

I guess it would too much for her to come clean and actually fess up to what it is she really is all about and how out of wack her tax ideas are - after all she does teach business doesn't she?

Kim is as left as they come from the days she wanted abortions at LMH to running with Glen Clark to sucking up to the proven corrupt federal Liberals.

She is Muriel Arneson version 2.

Sorry Kim....we know you can't read financial statements...otherwise you wouldn't put through motions like the snow removal.

Kim following in footsteps of muriel arnason waiting for everyone else to vote and then sticking her hand up to oppose. she makes all kinds of silly motions that never have a seconder therefore are a waste of time.she wants snow removed almost before it falls, but wants no increases in cost. how can that happen?muriel arnason was a very nice lady but i do not think she was any advantage to council.

So has Stephany decided if she is pro-abortion yet or is she still flopping like a pacific salmon on the issue.
