Im glad you see my point. I am still totaly anti-NDP. If they had a Majority Government, they would probably... 1. Raise the GST from 7% to 9% 2. Take the GST off of Childrens Clothes and school supplies 3. Enforce a new tax that will be 5% for things that pollute ect. 4. Increase spending by 49% (we saw Bob Rae do it) 5. Bring Canada into a deficit of $10 billion right away, and then $100 billion after 4 years. No tax cuts for the Middle Class or Rich... no way they would ever do something to help us.

Stephen Harper was an economist right... Most economists are very rich, why is he middle class?? Anyone know the "REAL" reason?

Do you atleast agree that society needs rich people to keep it running? If so... then the rich should also get tax relief. I believe the Middle Class should dtrive to be rich, and the rich should remain rich. The poor have to rethink their decisions.

I will:The actual quote is: Leviticus 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. Nothing is said about women with woman. 1) If you look read the various translations of the Bible you will notice the prohibition refers to only the sexual act of sodomy. It does not say anything about having long term commited relationships that don't involve that particular sex act. 2) Contrary to popular belief not all gays engage in the sex act prohibited (neither do most lesbians). So Christians that say the Bible prohibits gay marriage are stretching the truth. What bible are you reading? My wifes King James version does not quote what you said. It is exsactly what I said. Also... think about it... you think God, the creator of all, is happy when he sees 2 of his sons bum rushing? Men and Women pro-create together for a reason, because thats what God intended. If you were God and you created Males and Females to be together, and then you saw them boinking eachother, would u be a happy God or a vengefal God?? Ever hear of Sodom and Gamora... God destroyed the city because of all the sins, including Homo-sexuality. Prove me Wrong.

I heard that Brampton-Springdale candidate Sam Hundal might be the foreign affairs minister.

Holy crap we got a saint on our hands!!! Common people... we dont all have to be "mini popes". You think an NDP government would help the economy? Jack Layton reminds me of Robin Hood "Steal from the rich and give to the needy". Does that help the economy? If their are no rich people, then their will be no trading, nationally or internationally... would that help us? Taxing the middle and high class to death to build houses for the poor... does that help us?? Think before you talk next time...

I agree that Jack Layton needs to go, but your remarks are way off base when talking about affordable housing units for a large percentage of people in this country. Maybe you do own your own home but those that own their own homes in this country are certainly not in the majority. Most working people in Canada rent, and with the current trend of employers to hire more part-time or Term employees that trend is not likely to change anytime soon. The reality is that a very large number of people in Canada are not able to afford housing, clothing, and food without having to resort to food banks or soup kitchen's but obviously you could care less about these people since you are do not worry about where your next meal is coming from. Just remember one thing, we can all be jolted out of our comfortable lifestyle by something as simple as the business one works for suddenly closes their doors, and the employees suddenly find themselves at the local food bank because you have no food to put on your table. Don't think it can't happen to you, because it has happened to people likely far more comfortable than you think you are. I sit on the Board of my province's food bank association, and we are hearing stories all the time of people who once donated to the food banks are suddenly finding themselves as clients requiring assistance. This supposed healthy global economy has created many casualities right here in good old Canada. I owned my own home that is until a series of circumstances intervened that were beyond my control, and I lost my house. I had a heart attack and could no longer work, and although my insurance company paid me long-term disability for 2 years, they finally deemed me able to work even though Canada Pension had already deemed me totally disabled. The end result was that the insurance company cut me off they said because their definition of what constitutes a total disability differs from that of Canada Pension. My mortgage was not insured because when I bought the property I had Diabetes which deemed me uninsurable. Don't think for a minute that life cannot intervene and spoil your well laid plans for how the universe is to unfold. You may someday find yourself needing one of those affordable housing units yourself. Alright, u made a few good points but your missing the big picture. The NDP ONLY (I repeat ONLY) helps the Poorest Canadians, and the minorities. He does not have any proposals that will benifit the Middle and High Class Canadians. Ill give you an example. Between me and my wife, our "take home" income after taxes is around $1600.00 a week. When you have 4 kids between the ages of 12-21 that doesnt go very far. Anyways... under Jack Laytons platform he would take my tax dollars and put into programs I DO NOT use. Such as Afordable Housing. Now... under Prime Minister Harpers plan, I will get tax relief up the wazoo. The GST cut will save me well over a few thousand a year... actually Im buying a new car soon so Ill save around a thousand their aswell. Not to mention Tax credits for Tradespeople like myself, Ill get $500 to buy some more tools I need. Their are many other things that they do that will help me. In conclusion its quite simple. The NDP has NOTHING to offer me or my wife, or anyone between the income bracket of $45,000+ a year.

I'm sorry, but that is just a dumb statement. I don't like Jack Layton at all myself, but I know several individuals who earn more than that who voted NDP. Then their stupid, becuase the Tories are the only party who wants to give tax cuts that will eft middle and high class people. Low class people will never see a tax cut that will break them into the middle calss range,, so its not worth it. They should just get better jobs.

I hate jack laytons attitude. he thinks the governemnt should take all your money and do things with it. I dont think so jack. A result to me is a TAX CUT. NDP is scared of tax cuts because they bring money back into our pockets, not into social programs that only help 15% of the polulation. $9 billion dollars for affordabel housing... that doesnt help me, I own my home. Does that help anyone on this site?? I doubt it. it only helps poor people, which is only a very small percentage of the population. that 9 billion should have went back into our pockets threw a TAX CUT. I say HIT THE ROAD JACK. jack layton speaks for 15% of the poluation, if that... He does not speak for anyone earning $45,000 a year or more... which is the vast majority of our population.

Hey... no need for insults. Thats not me at all. I said I was NOT a religious nut. I just heard that from one of those TV pastors. No need for personal insults Black Dog.

I cant stand religious gays who say that God doesnt care if your gay. Im not a religious nut, but does it not say in the Bible that "man shall not lay down with man, and women shall not lay down with women" Prove me wrong.

You guys are missing the point. Under the Liberal plan parents get NOTHING if they dont use daycare. Under the Prime Minister Harper's plan you will get $1200 bucks for each kid under 6...in addition to Provincial help you may be getting. I have some low imcome friends who are currently getting around $300 a month for their kids--- so this $1200 will be in addition to that $300 they get every month.

No one likes the $1200 a year for each kid under 6??? If I had kids under 6 that money would be great to get, it beats nothing.

Harpers 5 Priorities, which is most important to you?

I apologize to all the gays, lesbians, trans, or bi's out their... but I am soooo against SSM that its not even funny. Aparently Paul Martin went to a confession booth at a Catholic Church in Montreal and begged for forgiveness for changing the traditional definition of marriage. Hypo-f**king-crit eh?

Assuming that the Conservatives win... The first thing is to pass the federal accountability act. But... how long will it take before the GST goes from 7% to 6%??? Will it be within a month, 2 months, or even a year?

4 days left... whats it gonna be?

Are you guys insane!!! For God's sake... are you people civilians like me, or beaurocrats!?? Praising the GST!!! Actually supporting it!!!?? What happened to Mulrooney being the most hated Prime Minister because of the GSt then Mr. Cretien comming to the rescue 'we will get rid of the GST!' and then never did it... and you idiots want to keep it!!!.... You guys are amoung the most retarted people Ive ever talked too. Income Taxes shouldnt even exsist... they were introduced for finacial support during the great War. And the GST certainly should not exsist, and the Tories will get rid of it... Ironic as that sounds, its still reality. Please tell me you were kidding...??? Praising the GSt... when I buy a car I pay 2 grand or more in taxes... you guys enjoy that???

If the Conservatives win on January 23rd, they will bring the GST from 7% to 6% right away. Then, Id say... around 2008 it will go down to 5%. If Harper runs for a second term in 2010, apart of his plan will be to eliminate the GST completely. The Conservatives (Ironically) are the only party with intent to get rid of it. The Liberals and the NDP love the GST, thats why they will never touch it. 2% in the next 4 years may seem minimal, but rest assured that it will be completely gone by 2010, or the next election-- only If the Conservatives Win. :

Hmmm.... Very Interesting. I dont think anything at this point will change the outcome of the election. Stephen Harper has enough momentum to continue campagning after he wins! Let the Liberals "Drop a Bomb" because its gonna blow up over themselves.

Layton loves to smear the Tories and Liberals on their history. I agree with comments towaards the Liberals because their true. I dont appreciate him always calling the Conservatives the "do nothing Tories". Lets look back. 1990-1995 a little man known as Bob (Robert) Rae... the NDP Premier of Ontario. He ran the largest deficeits in Ontario History, and it took Mr.Harris a long time to clean it up. Not to mention how much Bob Rae raised taxes. Their was also a premier in B.C who was NDP, ran a defeicit too. Jack Layton thinks his party is the greatest, when in fact their are NO TAX CUTS... just the same old garbage. Tax Cuts are very important to us Mr.Layton, were not all rich like you... We need the Tories to Lower Taxes, clean up government, get tough on crime... and you can put that in Your pipe and smoke it, Jack! Stop looking at the Tories record Layton, look at your own--- its much worst.

I dont know too much about polls. I know how their done and what they mean, but I dont know the history of them and if they are usually correct. The Strategic Council is predicting a Majority Conservative Government with a win of 166 seats. Do you think that will happen? Were the polls correct last year? Fill me in please...

Is their a website with expert seat Projections? If so, tell me a few. Also feel free to give yours... heres mine. Con 162 Lib 78 Ndp 18 Bloc 50 I admit my numbers of Conservative might be a little too high... but bet your bottom dollar they will hit the 155 mark for sure.

Anyone here who supports "River God's" theory is... how do I put this? Paranoid, retarted, Liberal Idiot?? Sounds about right, eh? Conspiricies have NO place here... this is a place of politics. i assume you also support Green martians living in the white house?
