You've lost your mysteriousness and sense of other bouncing around with that foolish punter. I want the old Said back!

Conservatives need to stop getting excited at some mediocre numbers.

Have you people ever heard of a HONEYMOON PERIOD in politics? This is one of them as the budget gets passed. Things will quiet down after a few weeks I reckon as people begin to see the negative effects of Harper's overspending budget that doesn't do anything.

To tell the truth, I could draft up a budget overnight that would be ten times more effective than that given my Harper and his Social Conservative government.

The only leader with some real plans that actually work for Canada is obviously Jack Layton. Jack Layton= the greatest PM Canada never deserved.

OMG, I chocked on the Pepsi I am drinking...

Jack Layton.

*cough* *cough*

Maybe ok for the NDP, but OMG.... Jack is a socialist and he is a nitwit!

eeek! He is why the NDP has never been an option for me.

Liberals- years of lies about GST and ignored issues of key importance. Sponsorship scandal, etc.
Conservatives- out of touch and Harper is a non-capable leader as he gets easily manipulated by polls.
Bloc Quebecois- don't even get me started.
NDP- Caring for average people like you and I who are right in the middle- the majority of the population.

Now, people. Let's think who we send to Ottawa....

I'd consider the NDP more a contender if its supposed union worker base actually walked the walk. I think most union workers vote Conservative. I really don't know who as a group votes NDP. They're seen as the party of regulation and political correctness. Neither is a populist issue at the moment.

that's hilarious!

I saw a T-shirt once that perfectly described me as a young man:

INSTANT ASSHOLE; JUST ADD ALCOHOL

But I mellowed with age :)
Besides the cuffs though, my liver filed for divorce. We've since reconciled, but the damage was done, it doesn't trust me around strange bars and taverns.

NDP and middle are two terms that absolutely do not belong together.

You say Harper and the conservatives are out of touch...so then can you explain to me why they are currently in government and received the highest percentage of votes nationally by any political party in the last election? And if the NDP are so in-touch with people, you mind explaining why they

a) Have never formed government?
b) Have never received over 20.5% of all votes cast in a federal election since 1962?
c) Have never received more than 15% of the seats in parliament?

Let's face it, the NDP is a borderline fringe party which does not reflect the views of the majority of Canadians, although Jack Layton constantly likes to talk about how they do. I for one will never vote for a party who's main points are thinking that I'm not smart or capable enough to make my own decisions, so they'll do it for me and take a much larger portion of my paycheck for the convenience, and do a fair bit to punish hard work and reward sloth.

I'll second that bit of intellegence.

No one seems to like Madonna. I think she look cute there.
I liked the rose coloured glasses one. So appropriate here.
Oh yeah the political thread.......anything to get the Bloc out the door is fine by me, even if it is underhanded. The budget was a big kelp in the Quebec election, though it didn't help that the Honorable Steven opened his mouth about Quebec federal choice in the election. That just adds fuel back to the Seperatist speghetti party.

I'll "third" it. I don't know why some people spend so much attention on the NDP. They stand about as much chance of forming a federal government as I have of becoming the Pope.
Given the fact that you have bore the brunt of my affections, without resorting to hunting me down or resorting to the asshatery of some of the others I challenge with my sense of distain, not only would I vote for ya to be the Pope, I'ld gladly be your personal food taster.

You're a good man Padre, though I do not agree with all you say, your strength, determination and conviction are parallel to mine, how can I fault ya for that?
