Michael Hardner Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 I don't think that these types of ad are a good idea. There is a lot of divisiveness and to continually focus on that makes things even more divisive. The previous government (and the one before that, I think) had similar charges. What does the "not Harper" party have to offer ? Quote Looks like someone has a new patronizing catch phrase ! Michael Hardner
noahbody Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 I think the Liberals trying to paint themselves as the party of ethics is incredibly weak, even laughable. Basically, their message is "Look, they're just as corrupt as we are!" Problem is that's not believable. Nothing the conservatives have done even remotely compares to the Sponsorship Scandal. Quote
Shady Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 What does the "not Harper" party have to offer ? That's what I've been trying to figure out. I know they don't think Harphitler should be PM anymore. But I'm really wondering exactly what their political platform is for the upcoming election, and how they plan to govern if elected. So far they're just the party of no. Quote

Yet time and time again the common refrain among conservative supporters is "But the liberals are just as bad." I think its funny that a party that touts itself as transparent and accountable has been anything but and their excuse is always, "the liberals did it." Hypocrisy abounds.

It's hypocrisy for the Liberals to attack the Tories on minor scandals when Adscam is still hanging over their shoulders. Only a moron would pretend that politics isn't purely a game of comparison.

Scotty Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 This ad looks like it will be effective. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzoLVNs1eGI Might be effective with stupid people. It sounds like it has the same soundtrack as "guns, in the streets" thing they did last time around. "A top adviser"? I guess that sounds better than "A guy who was a top adviser a couple of years ago". The senators that could face jail? Uh, yeah, technically, I guess, but no one has EVER faced jail for what they did. It's all pretty piddling stuff. This is the worst they can do in the way of insinuating corruption? I guess that's why I'm voting for Harper and not the Liberals.

Scotty Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 Yet time and time again the common refrain among conservative supporters is "But the liberals are just as bad." On a number of issues that is the refrain. But when the talk turns to corruption and ethics I think it fairer to say "But the Liberals were ten times worse!" Like I said before, get back to me when Harper takes a quarter of a million in public funds and gives them to an ex-con business partner of his.

kimmy Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 Bringing the escort into it forfeits their claim to the "high road". Sure to be a big hit with what I like to call "the Jack Weber demographic", however. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)
