Setting Layton's Record Straight

As a public service for Liberal Bloggers who are feeling hard done by because Jack Layton is picking on them, I present a couple of quotes from the man himself.

Jack Layton in 2005:

"This idea of coming to Ottawa only to sit on your hands when the most important vote comes up, why doesn't Mr. Harper have the courage to stand up and simply vote for the budget because that's what he's doing in effect," NDP Leader Jack Layton said. The Toronto Star 03-10-2005

Jack Layton yesterday:

"They decry the Harper agenda but then they sat out the vote and effectively gave him the majority government they say would be a bad thing," NDP Leader Jack Layton said last night.

"They've made it very clear that they're not willing to stand up for their principles." Toronto Star today

Seems pretty consistent to me. You're welcome.
