Interesting commentary.... To date, I haven't seen any formidable Tory attack ads.

Lookin' forward to the next weeks!

John Robson: I can’t vote for the Harper Conservatives. I just can’t

Elections are such infuriating spectacles that sometimes one doesn’t know which obscenity to utter first. But I’ve decided to aim my initial outburst at the Harper Tories.
I cannot vote for them. I just can’t. They should be my natural choice but their coarse, vindictive, proudly unprincipled cynicism must not be rewarded with electoral success, regardless of the consequences.
Let’s start with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s first major campaign pledge: to make the home renovation tax credit permanent if he is reelected. If it were economics, it would clearly be bad economics, aiming to “stimulate” one of the few sectors of the economy doing so well it already has the government worried about a bubble.

Cliffy- just find out which candidate in your riding seems to be the most willing, most sensible, most intelligent and most capable and vote for him/her and forget the twits in Ottawa. It's the local ones who do the work anyway while the twits in Ottawa party at $200 a day of our money.

 

[captain morgan]

$200/day party?.... That won't even cover 20 minutes of a hookers time.

As soon as I got glimses of Mulehair's performance at the debate, I immediately predicted his fortunes were going to take a dive. He's an idiot!

 

[Corduroy]

Mulehair? Really?

Mulehair? Really?

I wouldn't lie.

You gave up on those 8-10 swing ridings in Ontario I see.

With our current system of government....

 

[Vancouverite]

Harper is attacking Mulcair - attack ads to follow.

Of course, I would agree with him that the NDP in government would be bad.

 

[RBT]

Really? Don't you think they are all the same? Only exception being the Green Party.

Really? Don't you think they are all the same? Only exception being the Green Party.

You are right, the Green Party is much worse.

 

[Locutus]

good GAWD!

I wish Cons could actually be critical instead of just trying to take out sound bites.

Raise the standard a bit, would ya?

 

[petros]

I wish you were smarter and less gullible.
