~ Librano$ PING! ~

[proud_yank]

We've got 54 days left to hear 8,000 lies.

As nice as it is to get a 'breath of fresh air' from press like the SUN, as opposed to CBC, Mope-and-wail, and MacLeans.. I find that sometimes they can be a bit 'brash'.

[GMMAC]

[add925]

GO GET'EM CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats the spirit!!!!!!!!

[proud_yank]

ROFLMAO! Are things looking good for Harper, or will the Liberal party stay in just under new leadership?

I can't vote, but I'm praying for Harper. Just read something on CBC about his proposed tax cuts. Keep 'em coming!

[NorthOf45]

Apparently Martin took off to Cornwall, Ontario and left the media behind. I guess he didn't want bad press when he meets up with the laid off mill workers. Should be interesting to see how the MSM spins it. If Harper did that, he'd be tarred and feathered by the media.

[GMMAC]

It may be noteworthy that the Sun chain is featuring Gleeson's Column/Editorial above as today's lead and featured article on its website.
Evidently they feel he absolutely nailed his topic!

Plus, here's some evidence that the Librano$ aren't exactly marching in lockstep toward victory in at least one of their supposed Toronto strongholds: Ignatieff endures heckling Wins nomination
(ignore the anti-American, anti war on terror stuff as it is coverage of a Liberal meeting. But know that this out-of-character open acrimony is now spilling over into neighboring electoral districts - big time!)

My comment when I send the article out to my CPC e-lists earlier today:
"He pointed out that his great-grandparents were buried on Ukrainian soil." ~ Presumably, like countless other ethnic Russian pro-imperialists who saw - as does their great grandson - Ukraine as a mere extension of Soviet territory.

BTW, lots of Ukrainians in, especially, Toronto's West end with the vast majority of them being the children and grandchildren of refugees from Soviet oppression!
Tough to imagine the Liberals making a much stupider move - LOL!

[Canadian Outrage]

If that's brash then let them get brasher!! THIS Liberal Government deserves to be obliterated PERIOD. The corruption is endemic and it is the WORST in our entire HISTORY. Ontario MUST do it's job and vote these bums OUT. The West, minus a few ridings, will do it's job.

You can tell by Martin's attitude that he is SHAMELESS.

[Canadian Outrage]

I KNOW Stephen Harper - HE'S A GOOD MAN!! He's smart, and he's principled. I too am praying for him. Just put him and Martin side by side - Is there even a question??? Martin is so evil, and so proud. He's THE danger to this country NOT the Conservatives. I don't understand HOW anybody can keep voting for people WHO HAVE PROVEN THEMSELVES CORRUPT OVER AND OVER. That kind of mindset totally confounds me.

[proud_yank]

I don't mean for conservatives to 'tone down' or get soft about getting the LIEberals out. Sometimes I wonder if the way things are worded in papers like the Sun (I have the same thoughts on the Washington Post here too) turns more people off than it turns on. Be something to consider when it comes to 'middle ground' voters.

How I wish you and GMMAC worked in my office at school!

[proud_yank]

I really like Harper as well, and I agree with you that he is very principled. I found it very strange (in a good way) for a politician, after the RCMP shooting with the killer having a huge marijuana grow-op, to come out and say 'Despite this incident, the killings should not have an effect on the legalization of marijuana debate'. IMO, Any other politician would have used that as political capital. I gave him big points for that, and I think it is a big test of his character. (Personally, I think that it should be up for debate. 'De-criminalizing' is merely riding in the gray area. It is still an illegal activity that financially supports big time criminals like the wacko who shot 4 officers)

I can't vote here, but I'll keep praying and keep my fingers crossed!

The chief reason I despise Mulroney was for dredging up a dead issue. Separatism peaked in the late 70s, but no, Mulroney had to try to score points for the history books.

With that said, Mulroney's sins pale in comparison to the Liberals. It's like Mulroney to the 10th power with these vermin.

[proud_yank]

Another thing that I find interesting here is how the media really plays up all the 'alleged conspiracies', 'indictments', etc. of American politicians and issues in the US. Especially the CBC (read: liberal mouthpiece).

I have heard from many people, many times things along the lines of: 'Sure, our politicians have pulled some bad stuff, but when you hear the stuff about the US, it pales in comparison'. I usually respond: 'Most of what you hear in the US is alleged, i.e. not 'proven guilty' and our legal system is based on the presumption of innocence. You can't change issues in the US, and does it make it right for your pols to "pull bad stuff" and keep them in office??'

I don't understand that mentality either.

WooHoo!!! I just got back from the Harper rally at Rim Park in Waterloo.
I am so pumped!!!
Got to shake hands with the Man.
Had a film camera with me. It's in for one hour development.
I'm hoping the pics come out ok.
If so, I'll post some later with a description of the rally.

[Sam Gamgee]

An interesting similarity between the Republican Party and the Conservative Party is that they rely on small grass roots donations. The 10 million raised for the CPC came from 100,000 donors. The Liberals have 4 million from 20,000 or so donors. Seems that Liberals and Democrats are the chief recipients of big business/union donations.

One could hope for Liberal bankruptcy, but wouldn't the Liberals just steal money from the government to pay for their campaign anyways?

[Sam Gamgee]

You got to be kidding. The US is run like church coffers compared to Canada. We are a laughing stock. Even Mexico raises and eyebrow.

[Canadian Outrage]

friend I'm not sure there are a lot of "middle of the roaders" in the Province of Ontario. The Conservatives that are in Ontario are great Conservatives but it seems to me that the Liberals, no matter what they do, have a real stranglehold on people's minds. Perhaps that is just the Greater Toronto area. I have to believe that the folks in the suburbs are getting a little sick of being robbed.

You know Martin reminds me a lot of Clinton, no matter what they are CAUGHT doing, they act like nothing happened. It was bizzare to watch Martin and the rest of his party standing there clapping at their OWN DEFEAT?? I think one of the posters said it best - False bravado!!

I wouldn't mind working at your school btw. CO

[GMMAC]

Thanks for the compliment.
(although you'd probably be way better off with perennial 'good cop' Fanfan)

Let's take positive media support any way we can get it.
With most of the journalistic vermin, Stephen's always going to be damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.
As example, the Toronto-based usual suspects who called him stupid, insensitive, playing to the extreme religious right, etc, for brining up same-sex 'marriage' on day one of the campaign, are the same left-wing morons who would have howled about his 'hidden agenda' if he hadn't!

[fanfan]

That's great kanawa!
I met him at a rally once.
It's too bad his charisma doesn't transfer well to TV or print, but even that is getting better.

Will you please ping me to the pictures as well?
