What a beautiful set of numbers.

Bring on the election!!!!

Why I'm going to vote Conservative in the next election

I've read their platform. I've talked about it, even.

But in today's Calgary Sun letters, Rick Plesnik puts it so succinctly:

"Let's see. If I vote for the Conservatives, they promise to reduce my personal income taxes, clean up government, go after those responsible for AdScam, and return power back to the provinces as set out in the Constitution. On the other hand, if I vote for the Liberals, they promise to give back about $200 of money they already taxed away from me, five years from now -- maybe. Gee, tough call!"

That was very well said, Rick. I don't think I could have done it better myself. :)

Scott Brison, you're going to win the asshat of the year award if you keep this up

Scott Brison is showing the Liberals' election strategy cards a little early.

The statements he's making are just brutally mendacious (I love that word!) statements about the "scary" Conservatives. About how, if elected, the party will immediately kill all single mothers and eat their babies (okay, I'm being hyperbolic here). But we've heard this song and dance before, trying to scare the "cosmopolitan" vote to vote for the Liberals. What a sad tactic, come to think of it--having to scare someone into voting for you. Rather than making people believe you'd be the best for the job, you make them believe the others would be the worst for the job.

Want to know what the Conservatives would do if elected? Click here to see the dreaded hidden agenda. And nowhere does it mention anything about hot button issues such as abortion. (Which I think is a shame! We're the only "civilized" country in the world where it's legal to have an "abortion" up until the second the baby is born. Sad.)

Scott Brison's actions and words are telltale signs of a desperate, tired old guard. That, at least, makes me smile. :)

Reverse discrimination

Okay, I already knew there was a stigma associated with being a stright white male. But this goes way too far. I mean, I'm all for inclusiveness and diversity, but hey, how about hiring the best people for the job?!

Asshats.

Sitting and waiting...

Grumble silly me, hit the wrong button and lost my post. I hope I can remember it all.

First off, amen, brother!

I've been think about how Paul Martin and his Liberal cohorts (including the MSM) are so incredibly hypocritical and it makes my head spin. I'm talking about a Christmas election, and here's why.

If Paul Martin's Liberals were brought down tomorrow, a Christmas election wouldn't be the only possible outcome!!!!! The timing of the election, once it's certain one needs to be held, is determined by one person and one person only: Paul Martin. So for him to connivingly and mendaciously (a fancy word for "in a lying way") say that "if there's a Christmas election, the opposition is to blame, not us" is unreal. And even more mind-boggling is how the MSM eat this up.

Second, the Liberals are so seemingly against mentioning Christmas at all, most of the time, lest they offend people of some other religion. To make the statement, then, that a Christmas election would be bothersome is a direct about-face from their usual operations. How hypocritical. (And BTW I have many non-Christian friends and they don't give hoot one about whether someone says "Merry Christmas" to them--they know it's meant as a gesture of goodwill, so they take it as such. Crazy common sense people.)

Third, what's wrong with a Christmas election anyhow? It seems when you ask the Liberals, no time is good for an election. Personally, I'm not even going to be in Winnipeg at Christmas, but if an election were called for Christmas Day, I would either vote by proxy, vote by computer (if that's available), or, by God, fly out to Winnipeg for the day. Not voting because it's inconvenient is a direct slap in the face to every single soldier who gave his or her life for this country.

Stephen, please don't play any more games. Pull the plug and introduce a non-confidence motion now. I don't want the Liberals in my pocket anymore. Please. Drop the hammer. Take them out. I'll be there to support you.

Just do it now.

Ka-Blamo

Sometimes Joel Johannesen just makes my sarcasm detector explode.

In a good way.

Gomery tidbits, just like everyone else

Chrétien quotes:
"One small program in a very large government."
Damn right, bucko. It is a very large government. I just wonder if you meant to put it that way--almost making it so CTV couldn't make it not sound pejorative!

"I wanted the money for the program to be used for national unity."
Isn't it ironic, Jeanny boy, that the money you and your cronies stole will ostensibly have gone to the potential breakup Canada. Dumbass.

"Il était au courant comme j'étais au courant." Translation: "He knew as much and at the same time as I knew."
"He" is Paul Martin. Essentially Jeanny boy is saying that, contrary to his assertions, Paul Martin did know about the program, and early. In fact, Chrétien knew about the program early on--that is to say, at its inception. Logically, then, Paul Martin, according to Chrétien, knew about the sponsorship program at the beginning. My conclusion, then? Martin was/is both lying and incompetent.

Sadly, right now if the government is to fall (which I dearly hope it does), it'll be because of Smilin' Jack Layton. He holds the balance of votes to topple the Libs. Great.

Of course, even if the government does fall, will the sheep east of the Lakehead even care? Or will they vote for "the devil they know instead of the devil they don't"? If so, then I'm afraid western separation will become very possible. As well as Québec.

Please, Canada, get rid of them. I keep hearing that the Liberals have already paid dearly for this. HUH? Who are you kidding? They've gotten off with a slap on the wrist. But if I don't pay my taxes for a year (or a few), they'll be on me like a fat kid on a Smartie.

Speaking of the devil you know argument, how is that even remotely intelligent? How could anything be worse than the corrupt lying thieving asshats we have in now? HOW?

As a final thought, I just wonder: how will Sheila Fraser and John Gomery, the people who know this subject more intimately than anyone, vote?

My bet is it won't be for the big red corruption machine.

where's the anger?

gomery's first report was released today. apparently paul martin is exonerated. how? if he was the finance minister during this, he was either lying or incompetent. either one doesn't paint a rosy picture for the liberals. or shouldn't.

but the most interesting thing of the day for me was question period. smilin' jack was irate. gilles duceppe was mad. ed broadbent stood up and smacked the liberals.

but the conservatives were calm.

now, i understand that the conservatives are in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" quandary. if we get mad, we're angry conservatives. if we stay calm, we have no passion. but this time, at least, i would like to haev seen stephen harper stand up, smack down his papers, and demand, in the booming voice i know he has, the resignation of paul martin and the immediate calling of an election.

that would have been sweet.
