There is no way in hell I could vote for Harper, if the NDP can gain the support of people like
they are we should support them and create some real change in this country. The Liberals
under the current leadership are almost the same thing as their Tory brothers. One has a
Red Book the other a Blue Book, and the NDP could well write a new book. Nope this time
my mind is made up, I support Jack Layton and the new orange wave.
I am tired of the same old speeches and promises and at the end of the day they give the
bankers, industrialists and special interests the tax breaks and add it to the bill of the middle
class and hard working people that take a lunch bucket to work every day.
Let us introduce the business world into how it feels to really tighten their belts for a change.
Time after time the very wealthy support those who say there is no free lunch because they
know the Conservatives and to a lesser extent the Liberals will provide a free lunch by having
the ordinary Joe pay their taxes. Hopefully not this time.

Like I said, at this point I am leaning towards the NDP. There is no way on God's green earth that I will vote for Harper.

Yeah, it can tough figuring out which slimeball to vote for. I was for Harper until he pulled that sh*t on Helena Guergis..........definitely not a Christian thing to do, but have to admit Layton is about the only other choice, can't stomach Iggy for one minutel.

Helena should have been turfed long time ago. She did some pretty stupid things but she never made any positive contributions in the party. Because she is female she is being protected by the news media, especially when it comes to making Harper look bad. Typical CBC !!

The platform of the NDP is fine and dandy, in principle. But who is going to pay for it all? The NDP tries to be everything to everybody, and it's just not feasible. We are forgetting that the NDP destroyed B.C. and Ontario.

Whoever is comparing NDP to Communism, don't, they are not the same. Not even Communism in Cuba is the same as in China, so don't confuse the two.

NDP likes to spend your money for you. They think they are the only ones who know how to spend money.

The NDs have never had a statement on how they would increase the Revenues for Canada to pay for their spending. They only know how to deal with one side of the Ledger, spend and raise taxes.

miniboss how did the Saskatchewan NDP do it all, back in the time of Tommy Douglas
they instituted their program without going into debt, during Romanow and Calvert they
balanced sixteen budgets in a row. The idea used to be for governments to look at the
budget, look at the priorities and put the money where its needed the most. What the
Tories have done is give out huge tax breaks to those at the top and the rest of us are
forced to bear the burden. It is not about raising taxes its about addressing the priorities
and putting the money where its needed. Would Jack have different priorities? Yes he
would. Its time we looked at the problems that face Canadians and solve those first I
am in for that.
Think about this, the Conservatives have got us sixty billion in debt since they came to power
and they have a huge deficit again this year. Better than America, better than Europe?
Its all relative those economic blocks are already bankrupt, and on life support, so we are
better off by a whisker, so what. The Liberals are addressing the same old problems with
the same old solutions without really having a plan. At least Harper and Layton have a plan.
Its just that Layton has a better plan for the future of my kids, grand kids and average families.
So for me Layton it is. Oh how he treats his MP's? Some he allows some to change
actual government documents against the rules of Parliament itself and others he fires for
nothing more than suspicion. Not the kind of man I want to do business with so Layton it is.
