Of course the Libs are seizing on everything, that's what oppositions do throughout the world. However, when you look at how these characters act in GOVERNMENT, it's a disgrace that we've never seen in terms of magnitude and prevalance in everything they do. I say this as someone who didn't vote for the "guns in the street" party, that was embarrassing. We can play back and forth with examples, I'm quite confident if you put all yours on one end, me on another, yours will look like a mole hile compared to mine.

A wrecking crew which tosses the furniture overboard in order to keep the Tory ship afloat. Pretty soon the boat will sink and the Canadian voters will cheer.<br /><br />Could the Cons become more ideological a la Mulroney or Harris. Two minorities and so little accomplishment have damaged the Conservative brand somewhat. All you get is the same Western alienation-Social Credit message.

Which party released the "soldiers on the streets with guns" ads? Which party has disingenously trying to pin the deficit and recession on Harper (all the while demanding more spending)? <br /><br />From where I'm sitting the Liberals are acting exactly like the Conservatives circa 2003-2006--blaming everything under the sun on the government, dwelling on minor gaffes, and using the greatest hyperbole to paint the government as incompetent and unethical. Its really quite sad.KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16932623568330893522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-49695393421184659312009-08-20T19:55:05.343-04:002009-08-20T19:55:05.343-04:00Not unique, but there's no question on DEGREE....Not unique, but there's no question on DEGREE.

The tone, strategy, and culture for this government are established by Harper, a cheap-shot artist and cynic of the highest order.</i><br /><br />When I was a Liberal looking out I may have bought that these tendencies are unique to the Conservatives but in retrospect and looking from the outside things looks quite different.KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16932623568330893522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-13488954983835652782009-08-20T19:44:25.165-04:002009-08-20T19:44:25.165-04:00I've said this before, but their entire inspir...I've said this before, but their entire inspiration comes from what they reject, rather than any uplifting, underlying philosophy. The really hard part to understand, Harper finally got the keys to the car and he still conducts himself like some embattled bit player. From a partisan perspective, I'm so glad that Harper has never understood that a sense of statesmanship and positive vision is all that holds him back.Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-52707167845267844862009-08-20T19:37:28.177-04:002009-08-20T19:37:28.177-04:00Yep, that about nails it.

But I can honestly say I observed them with an open mind to the possibility of being persuaded at first, and they failed horribly. The arrogant pettiness just never fades.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
