I agree, what i don't agree with and get tired really quick is how the topic is discussed on forums.
There is too much ridicule and that push your button attitude that i find pathetic .
We can bitch about politicians all we want but to me they are half the problem , we are the rest of it.
Talk to me about facts and not the nick picked ones but the ones that has the warts and all, talk to me about ideas and solutions.... the rest leave me out of .
The more we act like we do here now the more we are just puppets to these politicians .
I absolutely agree. How did we come to support "style" over substance? I think that's why Harper is so disliked in many areas of the country - he's not a PET - stylish, flamboyant etc., etc. Of the two, I would pick Harper any day. I want competence in my leadership, not quasi-hollywood style leader who don't know a debt from a credit, thank you very much.
Not unlike Obama, who I see as also someone who is very smooth and shallow and full of himself but as a leader, lacking in many qualities that would move his country forward; someone who still contends that printing more money will help the nation so mired in debt; who thinks spending more money will solve all the country's financial problems. Whose main source of communication is the John Stuart show (et al) and going to hollywood to be with other self-centered admirers.
A Mitt Romney may not be a movie star, but he would have at least made, in my opinion, a better leader overall by virtue of his experience if nothing else. The scare mongering that was so horribly present in the last US election was incredible.
I want to know what a Political Party can do to help ALL Canadians in ALL walks of life. I want responsible government spending. I want responsible government action of issues that are of concern to the people of our country. I want a tax code that is fair to all - personal and business. I want a government who is environmentally responsible but who doesn't fall to the dictates of radical unions and extremist environmentalists to the detriment of our country's future.
What does your party stand for? Canadians should not tolerate the crap that happened this year in the US come the next Cdn election and should be extremely vocal about it. While I may be 1 person, who knows, maybe more will echo the fact that scare mongering simply won't work anymore and must not be part of the process. All parties are guilty of this and Canadians must demand that it stop.
However, after all that, we have to live with what we have voted for since that's what democracy is all about. Unfortunately, it's not always very nice.
'K, preaching is over lol
JMHO
