Harper Can Do Nothing Right, Can He?
December 17, 2008 · By Shane Edwards
The peanut gallery are proven right, again.
Back during and immediately after the election, when PM Harper was doing what Prime Ministers are supposed to do by making positive public statements about the economy, the opposition called him “delusional” and “blind” and “ignorant” for not seeing the massive crisis that was at hand and responding to it.
His defenders said that he was doing what he was supposed to do, and the opposition’s fearmongering was making Canada’s economic problems worse.
So PM Harper, deciding to acknowledge the public’s fears and attempting to take more of a realist-type stance, and acknowledges the gravity of the challenge of the world economy.
And what do the pundits do? Of course. Blast him for “not being positive”, and “increasing public fears”.
So, apparently, only liberals and new democrats have the skill and the timing to speak negatively to the public. Conservatives only increase fear, or ignore reality if they dare to speak positively.
Come on, Shane! Liberals and New Democrats never speak negatively about the public anyway!
Seriously though, they do not.
What they do is actually speak negatively about their opponents and lay the blame on the current economy on their opponents.
This is a perfect example of why the sorry-assed Libs need taxpayer money to stay alive: who wants to contribute cash, out of their own pocket, to these whiney babies?
The Liberal Party = Whiners R Us
We need PM Harper to stop appeasing them. Push them out of the damn nest and let them fly on their own for once.
