Yah I can agree on that one at least.. some of the party leaders turned out to be stealing / hiding and just mismanaging money.. I wish there was a way to keep people in line... or at least have a public flogging..

But that doesn't mean people that support the ideology of Liberal policies are idiots..



No, but the people who voted to get the idiots back into office sure are just that.. Idiots.



Doing this in the eastern Canada forums....hope you got your flame suit on lad.....

Personally, I would be more likely to question the judgement of anyone who thought Stockwell Day was the answer as a party leader. Or thought that Canadian Reform Alliance Party would make an OK acronym.

Harper was smart -- he reached out to the Progressive Conservative party, and got the wisdom of the horses that ran Mulroney to power in the 80s.

I admit, parts of his platform look good, but many items are the same things that the Liberals announced over the last 18 months, but with a twist.

I never thought I would say this, but I think the GST cut, while being a snappy-looking idea, isn't all that great. An income tax cut would be more effective at helping the poor, because there is no GST on food or rent.

That said, Harper is on a short leash. Will he do a good job? He has to -- or he will be back living in Stornoway in 2 years.

As for myself, I do what I always do -- I voted for the person that I thought would do the best job for my riding. The Conservative candidate has made many misrepresentations in his materials over the last 18 months, so I went with the Liberal candidate, who had a strong business and volunteer history in the community.
