"Won't cost the tax payers a cent" every Olympic venue since I have been alive has cost the host city/province/state more money than what was bugeted for. The history of the snow conditions can be figured out by a 6th grader with a computer and google. If the trucking/flying of snow was in the budget get them to prove it, but they won't and as stated we all know they will go over budget. The "Arnold" thing is what I was getting at before, get rid of the glitz and glam (leave it to the Rock Stars) and go back to the basics.....make it affordable to watch and partake in. Check out the prices to go see a playoff hockey game or even better a medal game......ameurature hockey at its best....yeah right! Politicians are some of the few who can outright lie to everyone and get away with it with little to no reprecussion, it is sad. And as far as voting goes sometimes its a choice of who is the best of the assholes!

It's the lying from the start from VANOC that the games won't cost taxpayers a cent and here we are, $7 Billion later... and climbing... It's hosting events relying on snow on a local Vancouver mountain that, on any given year, has marginal conditions at best. It's EVEN MORE lying that the trucking and flying in all this snow was 'part of the original contingency budget'. It's governor Swartzeneggar carrying the torch through Stanley Park (only 'cuz Gordon Campbell is his bitch). It's the overall lack of accountability and those who host the games know it. When it's all said and done... When the party's over and we're $15 billion poorer because of it... no one is going to be held accountable... and that's a damn shame... I'm not against the athletes. While I've never been big on sports I'll still root for Canada. But I sure would be alot happier to see a good old lynching for John Furlong and the merry band of cheese eating dickwads who basically give every Canadian the finger and simply walk away. Oh, and btw, I DID vote for a different party... but instead we got the 'same old party' and a brand new HST. It’s not the Olympics I’m against… it’s the giant waste of cash to host the games.
