Well, I haven’t forgotten Mike Harris and the Conservatives, so the Liberals will get my vote.
I love how conservatives try to sway voters by republican, juvenile tactics like calling liberals "fiberals". It's what lunatics like Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly do. "Fiberals? You mean liberals lie?" What politician hasn't? They're all lawyers! That’s what lawyers do! We just have to choose between the lesser of two evils, and when conservatives are in power it's much worse then liberals. When the conservatives are in there's always teachers strikes, cuts to social services, and nursing strikes. I don't want the nightmare of a con government again.

Neither contending party deserves your vote but if you're going to vote you have to vote for someone. Well, I wonder who.... McGuinty doesn't deserve a second term and Tory is a bit of a flake and opportunist. Hope we get some real alternatives!

Really, did Rae get a fair shake? Having never been in the position, NDP couldn't know who REALLY pulls the strings. Rae's promises prior to election were largely dependent on transfer payments that somehow went awry. Now, they're wiser.
No vote is acceptance by default and if you don't vote, you have no right to bi*ch. I do so value my right to complain. If anything, a spoiled ballot is still a statement.

I just barely survived Harris' peculiar version of Common Sense - a "War on Poverty" that involved attacks on the disabled. If I really believed Tory practiced Davis Conservatism, I wouldn't feel threatened. Some things, you just don't forget....

Quoting Cobalt_Kid
People got sick and died because the Koebel brothers, who were in charge of the water supply, were drunk.
Maybe the Conservatives can run on a "Really common sense revolution" in Ontario. You know, one where thousands don't get sick from tainted water because of government cutbacks or years of labor strife.

We really need a better way to hold our politicians accountable for their legislation. If there wasn't a party that wanted to do just this, I wouldn't vote, out of sheer disgust at the near pointlessness of it.
Quoting Gonzo
This sentence emphasises the shortcomings of our democracy: our ability to hold politicians accountable is only reactionary. Mike Harris is probably laughing the way to the bank every day at the moment. What does he care if he screwed the Conservatives over for a few elections, he got what he wanted. Well, I haven’t forgotten Mike Harris and the Conservatives, so the Liberals will get my vote.

I think you should go and suck thoughtfully on some raw eggs.
Have Ontario residents smartened-up yet?
Are they still easily pacified by the lying fiberals?
Is the McGuilty fan club as dumb as ever?
Voters, please share your thoughts.

Come on Walter. You can do better than that.
..............uh........probably.
One sentence put downs are really impressive.
(that flag means we are supposed to look out for one another, now down on one another)

And as such, was a helluva good Conservative. I hope he's not a Davis clone. Davis is really a Liberal.
