How about Preston Manning? Harper stabbed the best politician that this country has seen in decades in the back so many times that I'm surprised that he still has any knives left in his kitchen drawer to eat dinner with. He got what he wanted over several corpses. Those types don't last long, because they just don't know when to stop stabbing...this is going to be fun to watch. Maybe Stock will actually decide to speak up at last.

Not dis Liberal! Go Bush! Get 'em!

They said on CBC yesterday that Conservatives traditionally have a very low turnout. I don't understand why someone would go to the trouble of taking out a membership in a party & not bother to vote once every few years. Ah...maybe they don't KNOW they have a membership. Hmmm..those nice young fellows who knocked on the door a few years ago & translated a few things then had them sign some paper...NOW it all comes back. What OTHER possible scenario can you think of that would result in such a low turnout?

Sorry...wishful thinking on your part. Harper has backstabbed his way to the top of this party...but I don't believe he'll be able to backstab to the very top job. But hell...at least you guys didn't vote in Belinda!

My thoughts? Shut the hell up you idiot. What absolute bullshit. 1. Belinda had a lot of appeal. She earned all of her votes. 2. You try to memorize a 20 minute speech. He didn't "read it", he had notes. 3. ...The Liberals are our opponents... 4. Is being patriotic a crime now a days? We would have more than 1 helicopter if we were in government. 5. I saw hundreds of non-Caucasian individuals. East Indians, Asians, African-Canadians. This is a pan-Canadian party, multi-cultural party. Invest in a pair of glasses. 1/ And exactly WHAT was Belinda's appeal? I find my friend's Yorkie damned appealing, but I wouldn't vote for it. 2/So Stephen hasn't got the mental stamina of Charles Bronson ,Pamela Anderson and every waiter in Vancouver who is an actor wannabe? 3/My point exactly...the LIBERALS. The uncalled for rants against Paul Martin personally were tacky. "Criticize a man's policies...never the man". But then Harper is no intellect like Trudeau...so I guess he just doesn't get that one. 4/ No I'm all for patriotism...I love the Yanks because of theirs. But couldn't he come up with something new instead of stealing Bush's signature ending? Isn't he the "bright" one? 5/I was watching CBC. They must have been avoiding filming those Indians Asian & African folks you mentioned. You know how the CBC is! They ABHOR bringing multi-culturalism to the forefront.

A few observations: 1/Wow! There are a whole lot more people who think that Harper is bad news than I was led to believe. It's stunning that an absolute neophyte, with hardly any platform, can jump into the race & in a few weeks garner SO many votes. Those Belinda votes weren't FOR Belinda...they were AGAINST Harper. 2/Why is the man who had to read his bloody speech known as a brainiac? He had 5 months to memorize a few stirring lines. 3/It sure didn't take him long to get down & dirty. A few jabs at the Liberals were called for in his speech...but a 10 minute rant on Paul Martin? Not kosher. 4/Is he trying to take a page out of Bush's book with the "God bless Canada" ending? What's he planning to do? Invade somewhere with our one helicopter? 5/Pretty damned caucasian convention there. I saw one Indian fellow in the audience. Were the rest of the non white people hiding? If not...don't even THINK about getting elected. Canada isn't a British outpost anymore. What are your thoughts?

My Uncle Joe wrote this just the other day: "- I've spent the past ten minutes considering what presidents Bush and Clinton have in common. There are actually a surprising number of similarities. Just to name a few: 10/ Bush - carpet bombing in Afghanistan and Iraq Clinton - carpet munching in the governor's and president's offices 9/ Bush - in the 1970s, liked to blow a little dope Clinton - likes to get blown by a little dope 8/ Bush - in 1986, gave up drugs and booze and became a born again christian with Billy Graham as his spiritual advisor Clinton - in 1998, gave up Monica Lewinsky and became a born again horndog with Jesse Jackson as his spiritual advisor and pimp 7/ Bush - not afraid to take a firm stand with terrorists and tyrrants Clinton - not afraid to take a "firm stand" with new White House interns 6/ Bush - runs three miles in 21 minutes every day Clinton - eats three Big Macs in 21 minutes every day 5/ Bush - knows how to deploy US heat seeking missiles to defend national security Clinton - knows how to deploy the heat seeking missile in his pants 4/ Bush - wants every american child to get a head start in life so as to get ahead Clinton - wants every american to get head 3/ Bush - in Texas put many murderous bastards to death Clinton - in Arkansa gave many bastards life 2/ Bush - brother Jeb wears the chains of office as governor of Florida Clinton - dope dealer, fraud artist, trailer trash brother Roger was all set to wear chains of penitentiary until Slime Bucket Billy pardoned him 1/ Bush - has spent much of his adult life working in oil Clinton - has spent as much of his adult life as he could get away with playing around using KY Jelly and numerous other lubricants ANY OTHER SIMILARITIES THAT I HAVE SOMEHOW MISSED???"

No, but you can tell a lot about a man by the friends he keeps. And these guys think Kerry is their kind of guy. Ann Coulter is fabulous! The female version of Mark Steyn.

They are REALLY hoping it's a VERY BIG fish they're about to catch in those mud huts in the tribal area of Pakistan. How do I know this? CNN has dispatched Aaron Brown over there. Colin was just in Islamabad & is hanging around the area ( in Baghdad now). Don Rumsfeld is going on Larry King tonight. Al-Zawahiri? Probably. But we all know who they are hoping like hell is in there... Cross your fingers someone comes out with his head on a stick & gets the big Bin Laden bucks!

John Kerry is getting quite an elite following in the International community. Ann Coulter's column today in the NP points out a few of his admirers: So far it's an impressive list! If he can get Robert Mugabe & Yassir Arafat onside...the man's a shoo-in for the job of President of the USA!

Yes. If my pig were going to fly I would announce it in advance.

Less wide. The party Paul Martin is running right now. More than half. Like I said, go pester Don Martin.

Galahad, can we see your numbers? Where are they going to get the seats to form a majority? Why don't you ask Don Martin? In todays NP he decided to jump on my bandwagon by predicting a "narrowed Liberal majority" as the most probable outcome. Why don't you go pester him for the damn numbers? There Don also said: "Harper believes, correctly, that the electorate never snaps to impression-forming attention until the writ drops. Only then will his strengths be noted." Well Don isn't ALWAYS right.

In the run up to the election Kerry appears prepared to do just about anything to differentiate his views from that of George W. Bush's. How long do you think it will be before he tries to foist a burka onto his wife, Teresa? My prediction is that he'll be sporting a shiner after that one.

Ho ho.. But Kerry doesn't need comedians to put hilarious material in his mouth. He has actual direct quotes.

Easier said than done. Just ask Fritz Kohn. Remember Fritz, John Kerry's grandfather? That was the guy who Bata ran out of the shoemaking business in Europe .... Fritz goes to America to ply his craft, but with Tomas Bata hot on his heels Fritz calls it quits. And I mean quits, ending his life, literally, in 1921. Poor Fritz.

...... BINGO !!! ......

No. Can't think of anyone either, can you?

What did I tell you? WHAT DID I TELL YOU ??? I TOLD you that none of the right wing heavyweights would touch Harper with a ten foot pole. Didn't I? DIDN'T I ???

Another good line for the Mapleleafweb Bush headquarters. Yesterday Kerry said that he wanted to start monthly debates with Bush beginning in the spring. The reply from the Bush camp? "Kerry should finish up the debate with himself first before he tries to take on Bush". Fantastic! PS - I hear that George W. Bush & Vladimir Putin have a personal bet going on who's going to score more popularity votes in this year's elections. If this is true I'd put my money on Bush if I were you.

Because BCers like Paul Martin's style of wanting to go gentle into that good right. Because, unlike the last time around, Gordon Campbell's Liberals will lend a hand to their federal counterparts . Because the BC's Liberals, regardless of polls, still enjoy an overwhelming support.

This reminds me ... wasn't it the NNWN (Nattering Night Watchman Nickstar) who claimed to have a Jamaican doctor's certificate? Or was it an Afghani commercial jet pilot's licence? Which reminds me ... wasn't there a newspaper story a while back discussing the foreign commercial pilots who are now forced to eke out a living by driving a taxi instead of a 747? Will this group now demand equality with their doctor brethern? Like I said...God help us, everyone!

Reading today's editorial in The Vancouver Sun entitled " Foreign-trained doctors finally get some help" I think the report is being put into action. It states that ... "Ottawa has just commited money to ease the way into Canadian practice for these physicians" .... i.e. those who presently "work in taxicabs, or in security, or in construction." God help us all.

Looks like I was bang on. Charles Krauthammer writes in yesterday's National Post: "It's not John Kerry's fault that he is endorsed by a Frenchman. ( Or by Kim Jong Il of North Korea, whose media have been running some of Kerry's speeches verbatim!)" ( Ok...so I said Kim "SUNG" Il & spelled Mubarak with two R's....give me a little break here). Now how does that saying go? The friend of my enemy is an enemy of mine too?

Forget the Lord. He probably doesn't even exist. But please answer me this ... ARE you betting that Preston Manning, Ralph Klein and Mike Harris will be clapping for Harper come election time? Is THAT why you took the CPC to win?? You will lose. I just thought I'd tell you.
