Port Coquitlam's very own Vince McMahon

Coquitlam First campaign manager Dave Teixeira must have a real thing for men in costumes. After all, he presently works as a constituency assistant for Harry Bloy, who has proudly worn his scoutmaster uniform in the legislature on several occassions. And Mr. Teixeira's associate Brian Bonney has donned the same getup for local council meetings. But what you may not know is that Mr. Teixeira - going under the name Dave Republic - is also the owner of Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling, which features notable personalities such as the Cremator and Disco Fury. Whoever said politics isn't like professional wrestling? Earlier, we revealed Mr. Teixeira and Mr. Bonney attempted to skew the results of an online poll asking if Coquitlam First should "fully disclose the list of contributors to its campaigns last fall?"

Dave, Brian Screwed Up.

With quality 'professional political managers' like those, campaigns would be better off with
volunteers who want to learn and know how to listen.

I can picture Brian "The Bone Head" Bonney a ring side Manager jumping up and down with a megaphone, just like what "Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart used to do. What a bunch of clowns.

Problem is that Brian will be out selling his designer political hack group and people may be dumb enough to agree with him and buy into his
scheme.

It's all about power folks. Brian wants to be
the power boy of the BC Liberals.

Well whatever he is doing, it's not working.

What a gong show these Liberals out there are. Amateur hour. No wonder they can't win an election. That what happens when all the talented people go work in government, all the jokes are left to work for the party.

"What a gong show these Liberals out there are. Amateur hour. No wonder they can't win an election. That what happens when all the talented people go work in government, all the jokes are left to work for the party."

Some amateurs end up working for the government
(can you say Bob Virk and David Basi?)

Problem is the jokes are left to work for the party and they cause problems. Why not hire those who know what to do?

The sad part is that Brian and company are trying to make themselves as being an exclusive club of people.

In the meantime there are very talented volunteers out there that simply see the things that Brian, Mark, Chris and Dave do and think to themselves, "why bother?" So the political parties end up losing talented people who would
volunteer but don't because they see through the
sham that Brian and company try to mask.

Personally I'd rather pay for more print advertising and pizzas and cokes for the volunteers than write out a cheque to Brian, Mark, etc.

Face reality people. These guys haven't come up with anything new. The best ways to campaign were
figured out decades ago, and those ways are still used.

By volunteers who know what to do properly.

I guess this makes Dallas Henault "the Heartbeak Kid."

I can just see him walking in to the ring with his mirror as the music blasts:

"I think I'm cute
I know I'm sexy
I've got the looks,
that drives the girls wild
Ive got the moves,
that really move 'em
I send chills up and down their spines


I'm just a sexy boy
sexy boy
I'm not your boy toy
boy toy"

Gord 3:16 says Bonney and Teixiera need stop embarassing me or else I'll never let them have a govt job. And they wonder why I didn't appoint the Bloyman to cabinet. And let these screw-ups becomes MAs? Bonney and Teixiera make Basi and Virk look competent.

Interesting points... the questions remain...

1) Where did the money come from?

2) Why is it that Liberals Bonney and Teixeira would rather take this kind of shellacking by the press rather than reveal the sources of Coquitlam First funds?

Coquitlam First is toast and the careers of these two hacks ain't looking a whole lot more promising.

The Rock might say someone caught these jabronis with their strudel hanging out.

Strudel?

How about petits fours. Probably more accurate.

MONDAY NIGHT AT THE AGRODOME I WILL DESTROY ALL WHO STAND IN MY WAY! VOTE THE WAY I SAY OR I WILL RIP YOUR HEART AND EAT IT RAW!!!

"MONDAY NIGHT AT THE AGRODOME I WILL DESTROY ALL WHO STAND IN MY WAY! VOTE THE WAY I SAY OR I WILL RIP YOUR HEART AND EAT IT RAW!!!"

Someone obviously didn't get her bowl Count Chocula this morning.

Has to be that. It's a bit early to be "that time of the month".

"MONDAY NIGHT AT THE AGRODOME I WILL DESTROY ALL WHO STAND IN MY WAY! VOTE THE WAY I SAY OR I WILL RIP YOUR HEART AND EAT IT RAW!!!"

Someone obviously didn't get their bowl of Count Chocula this morning.

That has to be the cause of her rage. It's too early for "that time of the month".

Gee, ... I wonder where all the Liberals, pretending to be dissident NDPers complaining about Carol James and Dave Perry have suddenly gone? Could it be ... underground?

The fetish for uniforms actually is pretty common among Grits. I used to belong to a ski club that had all kinds of elaborate costume parties and balls for every occaision, and the big movers in that club were all Liberals. In fact one of them was a former Richmond alderman, ... in the days when they were aldermen, not councillors.

Funny all the Carole bashers have disappeared after a bad news week for the Libs.

These guys prove the biggest oxymoron in the world is "Honest Politician".
