If You Say So

The Prime Minister, on putting country ahead of his own self interest:
"My main preoccupation is not my personal image, but rather the country's higher interests.”

What country would that be?

Well it does sound like George W.'s

He also made reference to god's judgement in the interview, very Dubya-like.

Well, when you're doomed to be judged probably the worst PM ever, who else can you turn to but God?

Well, Anon @10:06 AM, what does that say about Iggy, if Harper is ahead of him in every poll that speaks to leadership.

You should probably start reading C. Cat's posting if you really want to know what is going on.

The present PM's motto:

What would R B Bennett do?

... Oh & Anon 11:30, be sure to read
Linda Diebel quotation today:

"However, Laschinger" (a Veteran Conservative strategist) "points out that in an August Nanos Research poll Ignatieff is in a virtual tie with Harper when people were asked who'd make the best prime minister. "That's a huge number for Ignatieff. ... If those numbers stay close, it should be of concern to some of the Conservatives."

All this is moon music until a writ is dropped.

"C. Cat's posting"

You mean droppings?

Jimme

That is a huge number, even a close score is very optimistic for an opposition leader. It's actually a loaded question, because one is the PM, people associate that, built in advantage. To be fair, AR gives Harper a decided edge, getting bigger.

I seem to recall Paul Martin wholloping Harper in every personal poll prior to the 2006 election. I mean SMASHED him.
Dare say the country misses good fiscal management of Paul Martin these days.

Geez, Harper - using God as a cop-out for your failures is rather weak.

Country first Harper? If so, you'd resign.

Is that your lame attempt at humour?

The part of The Bible that says steward the Earth or the end of hte Bible that says must be destroyed?
The Christian prophet Jesus says to help the poor yet all of Harper's policies direct wealth into the hands of the rich.

Why choose the Christian prophet over the Islam prophet given the latter left written works. A preference for women's rights? But then what about the whole rib thing.
If God says destroy Earth, I'd find a different god that didn't say that, not obey on my knees the command for anarchy. But unlike Harper, I'll go with the steward-the-Earth part of the Bible and ignore completely the Revelations part.

A Seinfeld government (if Ben Stein was starring in it) deserves a Seinfeld post once in a while...
