Stephen Harper MUST win a majority in the next election or we can kiss the bit of freedom and strength of caracter that's left in some harts and minds of this once proud country. Mediocrity is well entrenched in our socialist gulag, the next election will tell us if it's too late to get out of it.

Mediocrity is well entrenched in our socialist gulag, the next election will tell us if it’s too late to get out of it.

I have news for you: HARPER IS NOT BUSH! He doesn't LOOK like Bush! He doesn't TALK like Bush! He doesn't have the same education! He isn't from the same country! He doesn't have the same policies! This is not a valid form of argument: 1. Bush is an idiot. (assumed by argumentor to be self evident) 2. Harper is Bush. (again, assumed) 3. Bush does this. (perhaps the only semi-fact in this entire chain of reasonins) 4. Therefore Harper does this. (without proof or basis other than statement 2.) 5. Therefore Harper is an idiot. Therefore Harper is an idiot. My conclusion: Dimitry is an idiot.

I like to put it this way: If they knew anything about economics, they wouldn't be Liberals. You can see a good summary of this here: http://purpletory.blogspot.com/2006/12/little-economics-101-for-citoyen-dion.html Yeah, Liberals really do have no sense of economics at all.
