It Must Be Tough to Be a Liberal...

January 11th, 2006

Well, where have the Liberal's gone? Usually, the Liberal bloggers on this particular blog are raring for a fight, yet lately, the fight has left them, and the sense of defeat has overcome the Liberal campaign. I would like, if I may, to give some facts that may interest our Liberal readers:

• Paul Martin may try to promote his "written-on-a-napkin" plan to eliminate the notwithstanding clause. What he failed to mention was that just last year he threatened to use the notwithstanding clause if certain rights of churches were taken away by the courts.
• Paul Martin may try to accuse the Conservative Party of having lobbyists working on the campaign. What he won't say is that David Herle, a partner in The Gandalf Group, is also the co-chair of the Liberal campaign. Herle had a contract with the Finance Department during the same time of the income trust consultation and decision making period.

It's funny how these things work, isn't it? I'd love to hear the Liberals try and rebutt these points- the thing is, they can't. It's clear, especially after the despicable attack ads the now desperate Liberals have released. Soldiers with guns in cities? Well, I must say that for the Liberals, this is a new low. We knew they'd get dirty, and here are the results that Canadians predicted. We have John Duffy, getting angry over journalists questioning the ad on the military in cities, we have Susan Murray on "Politics with Don Newman" saying that the notion of the sinking Liberal campaign is "bullshit."

I'm damn proud to be a Canadian, and just as proud to be a Conservative- a party that is taking the high road. This governing party is sinking, and it's sinking fast. I wish I could say the Titanic was as bad of a disaster as this campaign, but that would paint the Liberals in a good light.

Paul Martin once called the GST a "regressive, and un-fair tax on living." My, isn't it astounding how the times change? Now, it's wrong to cut the GST! The flip-flops continue...

I must admit, I have a small inkling of sympathy for the Liberals- it must be frustrating to have to suffer through a sinking campaign that looks to send them to the Opposition benches. Candidates try, but they cannot distance themselves from the floundering national campaign, a desperate leader, and a sense of defeat. After twelve years of lies, flip-flops, broken promises, and scandal, it's about time. I am a Conservative- I bleed blue, and will until the day I die. The Liberals do not represent my beliefs- I don't stand for thievery and lies. I am a responsible citizen, I will pay my taxes, and play by the rules, and the party I choose does the same. For me, the choice is Bev Oda, Stephen Harper, and the Conservative Team; not Doug Moffatt, Paul Martin and the arrogant, corrupt Liberal cronies.

Standing Up for Canada,
