It's all rather Pavlovian. Some time in the wilderness might get the message across, but probably not, as they seem to think all their problems would be solved if they had a neo-conservative Iraq war cheerleader in charge.<BR/><BR/>Talk about missing the point.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03487395482670731681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23680463.post-15306753182954314472008-03-31T16:51:00.000-06:002008-03-31T16:51:00.000-06:00I've actually come to the conclusion that lib stra...I've actually come to the conclusion that lib strategy is quite purposeful in painting this distorted picture of the NDP - always attacking them rather than the cons, blaming them for losing the election. <BR/><BR/>Thus perception becomes reality.<BR/><BR/>Great post by the way!susansmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02573558646874765432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23680463.post-75036984038125857742008-03-31T16:40:00.000-06:002008-03-31T16:40:00.000-06:00Bingo.Question: What do Canadians need two center ...Bingo.<BR/><BR/>Question: What do Canadians need <I>two</I> center right parties for?<BR/><BR/>Answer: We really <I>don't.</I>Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03487395482670731681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23680463.post-63511992467519601572008-03-31T16:26:00.000-06:002008-03-31T16:26:00.000-06:00The Liberal Party is incredibly sensitive to being...The Liberal Party is incredibly sensitive to being attacked by the NDP. Even the slightest of slights rings in their ears 100 times louder than being attacked by Harper. That's why they cry victim.<BR/><BR/>The reason? It's the same as being called overweight. If you think you are, it stings more than when you know you aren't.<BR/><BR/>Liberals know they haven't delivered for progressive Canadians, so being called on thier failures on child care and not standing up to polluters, and now helping Harper get his way, hurts a lot.<BR/><BR/>Their supporters aren't quite as insecure about it. They, like Francois Boivin, have just gone to the NDP instead.Blogging Horsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07814673326602261801noreply@blogger.com
