bleeding heart Posted June 11, 2012 Report Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) Is this gonna turn into an "I know you are but what am I" thing? Really? Did school just let out? Seems that Me and a Majority still love our Harper.. Facts are facts.. "Love," yes, a major part of the issue... However, you miss MCC's point: there are, seemingly, two distinct Harpers that you voted for, and they disagree violently with each other. Do you (and the "Majority") "love" the Harper of 2005, or do you "love" the Harper of 2012 that so disagrees with the first one? And how did you vote for these two different men simultaneously?

On every other file we were offside. Eventually we came onside on Haiti, so we got another arrow in our quiver." --Bill Graham, Former Canadian Foreign Minister, 2007

I'm glad someone got it. Thanks BH! Quote Ideology does not make good policy. Good policy comes from an analysis of options, comparison of options and selection of one option that works best in the current situation. This option is often a compromise between ideologies.
Fletch 27 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Posted June 12, 2012 Oh C'mon now boys.... That's a little tamer than both of your boys switching teams mid stride, No? NDP Rae jumping to Liberal and Mulcair jumping the other way? At least Harper has remained consistent.. I'm glad someone got it. Thanks BH! Quote

Harper was a Liberal but rejected his parents' politics as he wanted to be a radical, and he joined the U of Calgary's school of oil economics and became the one trick pony we see today. Quote

I think people mistake Feltch for a serious poster who will rationally think about what you pointed out. He's a brick wall user with a megaphone. Will never budge, just shouts idiocies without actually reading or thinking. Just trying to berate you into submission without actually conveying any sense of rational thought.

Those corporations sure are protecting the environment without regulations... May as well have no regulations at all. Quote Ideology does not make good policy.
