Tory ads spur NDP to attack Harper
- Thread starter mentalfloss
- Start date
I always vote for the pol who will stay out of my way and by that I mean the one who will pull his/her hand out of my wallet.
The one thing to keep in mind with the latest set of attack ads from both parties is that they probably cost the parties very little as they are exclusively online.
So instead of attacking the other, coudl a candidate or party simply not say what he intends to do?
You'd think a seasoned vet might notice the same thread in the same sub-forum eh. Might save the members and the mods some grief.
Oh well...
I think Flossy wants to hold the CC record for number of threads started. He's certainly got the record for number of redundant threads started. lol
It's called the opposition for a reason.
The NDP is just doing it's job criticizing the governments and the PM's RECORD, the Conservatives are doing us all a disservice when they make personal attacks on opposition leaders in an attempt to keep them from doing their job.
It's moronic to criticize the opposition for actually opposing the governments record, but that's the situation we've been left with by a government that is all attack and no offers no true leadership.
Yes, to oppose Bills in the House, not attacking a party on Youtube.
Don't get me wrong, the Conservatives are worse and the NDP: it's just a shame the NDP is stooping down to their level now.
It's not the 1800s, it's 2012 the political forum has spread everywhere. The Conservatives were spending millions attacking the opposition leaders under the Liberals while doing all sorts of undemocratic BS to break the system down, with success or we wouldn't be at this sad state of affairs.
The Conservatives have turned an already poor state of affairs in terms of respect for the political institutions of this country into a battleground where the winner takes all, by all accounts the intent of Steven Harper isn't to just defeat his opponents, it's to destroy them leavng us with what?
Certainly not a democracy of the kind so many Canadians have sacrificed over the last century and a half to leave as a legacy for the future.
lol The NDP ad attacks Harper specifically, not the government. Spin some more. It's funny.
Yep.
You were expecting politics to be any different than Martin's gov't and before that?
Elbow room to develop something better perhaps.
Democracy? In Canada? roflmao Here we have a combination of a plutarchy, oligarchy, and a corporatocracy. And we have had this for decades.
Ummm, ya...
I always find it funny when the CPC attack ads come out. The Cons get labeled the bad guys, the poor opposition gets hugged.
But it's the exact opposite when the oppositions come out, the Cons get labeled the bad guys and the poor opposition gets hugged.
Oh wait...
* It's OK NDP, you aren't like every other party, the Tory's made you do it! *
Hug on you shiny nutters.
