Taxes are down, Liberals are being replaced on the Supreme Court…life is good out west and its our turn to inject some sense into our federal institutions.

Too much gravy train Liberalism will bankrupt a country. There is a reason Americans switch parties regularly. Its to restore balance.

If right-wing rural rednecks out West don't like it, I'm prepared to lose their vote, since they never would vote anything but Conservative in the first place. As for the other stuff, ancient history, Colin.. it's YOUR party thats been in power now for 2 years. People aren't going to give the Cons. a pass on this because you guys say "the Liberals were worse!" As for not moving votes long-term, apparently <a href="http://farnwide.blogspot.com/2008/04/keep-shovelling-pierre.html" rel="nofollow">this poll</a> seems to suggest otherwise. Combine that with the other control-freak policies Harper does with independent bodies, plus running down the policies that he has that are bad for Canada, and the effect is cumulative for Harper losing an election. Really Colin, you and your Cons Kool-Aid parrots need to think up a few independent thoughts or 2, plus a few new ones.
