Tories campaign ads

[Topaz]

While watching the TV today I saw Harper's ad, you know the one were he is sitting by the fire, dressed in a blue shirt and blue vest, talking all nicey. One dealt with the troops, of course, another about his son Ben, who rather be with his friends than his dad etc. I saw then 4X's in a matter of 5 minutes!! Are any other ads out there besides that one??? Please GG say no to Harper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've seen about 40 to 50 of his ads.

Claiming that Canada has to "stand for something" is a little absurd. Canada had no identity before Harper and the Cons came along?

I thought it was a god ad. It shows him as a family man. I can relat.

Yes, I think Harper considers himself to be a god.

I agree.

If Dion came on with his ad I would have trouble understanding what he says.

[cybercoma]

I'm particularly fond of the commercial where the young girl at the end says, "this will be the first time I vote and I'm voting for Stephen Harper," or something along those lines.

[capricorn]

I'm still waiting for the ad with the kittens.

[DanInOttawa]

He may not be a god but he sure is a heck of a political strategist. He seems to be above all of the other leaders in strategy.

[NDP4Montreal]

Ugh...these are the worst political ads ever. Have you been to the Cons' website? They have about 6 ads that all have him sitting in that chair with that annoying "We're better off with Harper..." at the end.

Just wait until those start playing nonstop. This entire nation will want that chair engulfed in fire. Maybe it's that annoying...."this is an interview, but not really"...that's getting to me...

Don't you remember "Beep! Beep!"???

If this isn't nonstop, I don't know what is... Every time I flip through the channels there always seems to be one.

Ugh, beep beep. That one just gave me a headache. These ads are almost designed to be annoying through the campaign.

Oh it's started already? I'm off at school in Arizona (ugh) so I can't watch any Canadian ads (I would say that I'm lucky, but then again I just have the US ads to deal with )

I'm particularly fond of the commercial where the young girl at the end says, "this will be the first time I vote and I'm voting for Stephen Harper," or something along those lines.

Which reminds me of a conversation with two young people at work who'd be voting for the first time. I adviced them to go out and vote. One says he doesn't know anything at all about politics. I said, well how do you describe your views?

In the long run he said, "I like the way it is right now." I said, "Then, vote Conservative. Vote for Harper!"

I laugh evet time I hear that.....my wife tells me it's okay that they are targetting youth...but I think I don't give a damn about the opinion of an 18 year first time voter.

A socialist going to a privately funded school in the Evil USA?

How.... Ironic?

[Fortunata]

I agree.

Are you that slow?

He may not be a god but he sure is a heck of a political strategist. He seems to be above all of the other leaders in strategy.

I don't want a good strategist, I want a good Prime Minister.

I thought it was a god ad. It shows him as a family man. I can relat.

Yes, doesn't it just make you feel warm and fuzzy inside to see the "real" Harper instead of the one we have seen in Question Period for the last couple of years? I guess leopards can immediately change their spots (and we are supposed to buy it) once an election is called.

[DogOnPorch]

I'm still waiting for the ad with the kittens.

Already happened. On more than one occasion...more than one cat.

Thanks DOP.

The first link won't open for me. The second is fine. That cat sure isn't camera shy. Looks like tabby taught the PM a thing or two over the last while.

Yeah..the University of Arizona....totally private funded.

It's also called Grad School. I went to McGill for my undergrad, and UA has an excellent program for what I'm interested in. I don't really care that it is in the US...I'm not an uptight jackass.

Just who the hell is he suppose to be talking to? And which war is he talking about? I haven't figured out how this ad makes him a good PM.

[nbguyca]

Unless she lives in his riding, she can't vote for him. This is an example of how "Americanized" our election process has become. If the person you elect is no good, what good will any of the leaders be?

[thermo]

God, these ads are brutal. With that sappy piano music playing and Harper pimped out like Mr. Rogers!

I also don't understand this "i'm a family man" crap. it has literally nothing to do with running a nation! like if he was single he'd be unfit for the job (or more so depending on your views). also: i don't really give a f__k about his kid either.

Yes, almost totally privately funded.

Odd that an NDP supporter would avail themselves of that which, intrinsically, you don't believe in.

Are you beliefs always this maleable?

[DrGreenthumb]

He is NOT a good PM, he is an authoritarian paternalistic dictator with a fundmentalist christian belief system. He's not even a good BM.

citation that he's an "authoritarian paternalistic dictator with a fundmentalist christian belief system"

[Topaz]

Harper is pulling one of the ads about a bird that drops it droppings on Dion shoulder. Harper thought that was in bad taste. I thought Harper oks all the ads put out there. Harper said he thought things would heat up and get dirty and he was right, he always starts things off that way. He hasn't changed he's still the same guy that stands up in Parliament when asked that first question and get his personal attack in!
