GWiz Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 I noticed a big "uptick" here on MLW of anti-Liberal threads by both Harper Regime supporters and NDPers...

Shakeyhands Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 meh, I also noticed that threads like the Trudeau semantics thread tend to generate much more replies than most of the CPC scheme/scandal/anti democracy threads. Not sure if that has more to do with the booster clubs posting habits or what. Quote "They muddy the water, to make it seem deep." - Friedrich Nietzsche

If the amount of posts is indicative of how scared you are of an election, you must be TERRIFIED GWIZ. You've posted over 1400 times in less than 2 months. You're averaging 27 posts a day. You seem to be fussing, thrashing and wetting your pants over the idea! LoL! Nice thread topic! Keep it up you're making yourself look smrt!

GWiz Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Posted March 19, 2011 <my comment copied from another thread and appropriate here> Gotta love how the NDPers on MLW follow the same old script every TIME no matter what the thread's actually about... "Hammer the Liberals at all costs no matter what the Harper Regime does"! "It's our only hope of maybe gaining another meaningless seat for the NDP even if it means putting the CONS back in power or selling out any 'values' the NDP claim to have." - Jack Layton & the NDP's philosophical imperitive. ....................................................................................... What's even more funny is that with every anti-Liberal post made by NDPers here on MLW it confirms what all politically knowledgeable people already know about how the NDP operate... The NDP have no principles what-so-ever... On the other hand the Harperites here are naturally dragging up every questionable thing any Liberal has ever done to obscure their own obvious, plentiful and significant shortcomings, which is almost as laughable... But then who can blame them when they both have nothing to offer... Quote There are none so blind, deaf and dumb as those that fail to recognize, understand, and promote TRUTH...- GWiz
Saipan Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 I noticed a big "uptick" here on MLW of anti-Liberal threads by both Harper Regime supporters and NDPers... So why are most of them about Harper? Quote
scribblet Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 So why are most of them about Harper? My thoughts actually, I thought the uptick was on anti Harper and CPC rants Quote Hey Ho - Ontario Liberals Have to Go - Fight Wynne - save our province
madmax Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 My thoughts actually, I thought the uptick was on anti Harper and CPC rants There are more CPC/Harper threads right now , because the Government has a number of scandals front and centre. Alot of bad government, poor spending habits, lack of accountability and a disdain for parliment. I haven't seen many anti liberl thread except those created by the Usual suspects, like Mr. Canda and Saipan and they have no traction, because they are grabbing for straws. Other then that, any discussions of the CPC misadventures are guarranteed to bring out the CPC apologists and the "But the Liberals" whine/cheese and violin defence. However, I have no idea what GWhiz is trying to say. Quote
Saipan Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Other then that, any discussions of the CPC misadventures Like getting more seats in every federal election? Quote
madmax Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Like getting more seats in every federal election? I have no idea if the Public will award the CPC more seats because of their scandals. Right now, it looks like its 6 t0 12 seats either way. Campaigns take on a life of their own. I don't know why the Prime Minister surrounded himself with such sleazy people. I watch as reformists eat crow. Quote
Moonbox Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 It is really hard to watch/support Harper lately. I can't really find a lot of good to say about him. We have a long list of him borking things up and I can't say he's done a lot of good. Starting with Maxime Bernier, we've seen a long list of crooks and snakes slinking around in shame after they've been discovered. We've seen him blow his load on anything and everything people beg for (particularly Quebec). With all of his spending increases and his total lack of fiscal restraint, the nail in the coffin for him as far as I'm concerned is his corporate tax cuts. I have no idea why the opposition isn't coalescing behind this because if presented properly he could literally be crucified for it. There is no reason for corporate tax cuts right now whatsoever. I wish there was someone with a shred of political sense that could oppose him.

If the Liberals must govern Canada, can we have a leader that is really Canadian, and a party that doesn't lay awake at night worrying that somebody will tell them they "aren't politically correct"? That is something EVERY Liberal MP worries about. Quote I have captured the rare duct taped platypus.

That is something EVERY Liberal MP worries about. That, except for the "really Canadian" part, is fair comment... Is Ignatieff the best "leader" the Liberals have had, my answer at this point in TIME would be no... However having said that, Ignatieff has no record as a Government Leader, he therefore has the opportunity to surprise us all and rise to the occasion should he get that chance... Are some Liberal MPs (some Canadians in general actually) too worried about being "politically correct", overall I'd say no, not at all... The reason I say that is because the facts are that there are a lot of people that misinterprete things, rightly or wrongly, that are totally against the fundamental principles of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and should be pointed out as being so... If you're inclined to have political ads and the media dictate your decisions for you then that's your perogative... As for me I ignore all that hype and BS provided by the parties, media hype and polls, as well as political ads and concentrate solely on the facts I garner to make my dicisions... To each their own is the way I look at it... Quote There are none so blind, deaf and dumb as those that fail to recognize, understand, and promote TRUTH...- GWiz

The prisons are something that are easier to justify and explain. The 'tough on crime' stance is something that wins a lot of politicians elections. That's the last issue you'd want to make a campaign about. The aircraft...yeah you could spin it...but the fact is that the CF-18's need to be replaced and the fact that there wasn't a bidding process isn't going to win over a lot of minds. The corporate tax cuts, however, that IS something that every Canadian really understands and can relate to. With the largest deficits in history, what possible justification is there for corporate tax reductions when our rates are already considered pretty low?? I'm sure you can come up with BS reasons, but are there any that actually make sense? The income disparity in Canada is higher than ever. The middle and upper middle class are vanishing and we're considering corporate tax cuts? Wtf are they thinking?

Its good politics. Besides, its not like the Liberals are going to do anything different. This is typical Campaign from the Left Politics. And it gets the Cons defending or advocating (take your pick) on the need (or lack thereof) for Private Corporately driven prisons. I guess the idea is the Tax Payer Funded Private Prisons will get a tax break. Meanwhile the LPC can lay blame at the Process of 30Billion dollar planes. I Think they are smart this time around. Just don't believe a word of it though. Quote
