I hate attack ads from either side, both have done it. If someone has to push someone else down to look shiny, it just means they are incapable of rising under their own momentum.

I am sick to death of their games. Games are okay when things are good and you basically know and can stomach that whoever gets in is just going to f u c k the dog...but our province is in dire straights...we need a freaking savoir.

And I do not want the poorest to pay the highest price because they usually do. This get off your *** mentality is just for people wearing blinders who do not want to understand mental/physical dis/inability.

At the same time, they have to be able to plug the dike, we are leaking blood.

Is there no such thing as balance? Guess that is too much to ask for.

Attack ads. hhmm Poly Ticks as usual; campaign on telling truths (or at least "our" version of truths) about the "other guys" while conning people with lies about "our guys" - aPAULing Martin, Bullrooney, and ChRETIen were experts at it and Harpy's getting better at it. Ain't life grand in good ol Canuckville?

Baby-T is providing so much ammunition for the Dippers and Cons that they'd be stupid not to remind the public of exactly what this guy is all about.

I'm no where being a liberal supporter, but I am embarrassed for that party based on buddy's myriad of gaffes.

First of all yes it is Harper he micro manages everything. In his democrasy only certain
people get to speak even on his own side. Attack ads like his are the last of the old
social conservative Karl Rove style of the 1980's. They are going to wear thin especially
if those being attacked counter with setting the record straight without going overboard.
Attack ads against Adrian Dix put out by the BC Liberals are actually having a negative
effect on the Liberals. One example of fighting back was the April Fools Day ads where
Dix actually poked fun at himself and the Liberals ads are becoming the butt of jokes now.
As for Harper, this is a government on the way down, and more and more I see signs of
Harper not seeking another term himself.
The resistance to some of his changes are starting to take hold and people are starting
to see the real negatives of his style. Not enough yet but discontent is growing.
