LotusLandLunatic Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 http://www.canada.com/vancouver/vancouvers...ad-e847689328f5 Carol Jamieson, vice-chair of the Greater Toronto Area Conservative Party Presidents Council, had this to say about Stephen Harper. Said she: "The Liberals are happy Stephen Harper is our leader. The only thing they fear is that we will change the game on him. No amount of burger flipping can fix the image problems of this leader. He can change his wardrobe, try more cornball commercials. But nobody can hear our message if they can't stop looking at the pitch man in disgust." Aren't these the same childish tactics that were successfully used against Preston Manning? Nerdy, high squeaky voice, funny haircut, clownish wardrobe, crooked teeth, etc.. Who's behind it? Reading a big bunch of excerpts from my Czech compatriet's new book on Mulroney I'd say Brian is a definite candidate. But then so is HO HO HO Joe Clark, if he is anything like the NPWBN's poster, Uncle Joe, used to discribe him. Who else could it be? Quote
August1991 Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 Brian Mulroney? The guy who dances with the girl who brought him? Try instead: Lucien Richard – 2004 election candidate Francis-Pierre Rémillard – 2004 election and current candidate Philippe Giguère, BAA – 2004 election organiser Payam Eslami-Manoucheri – 2004 election candidate You can read it all here. It's a story, but I don't know if it's a big story. I note that no one in Harper's caucus of some 98 people is complaining. If there were a serious problem, there would be caucus stories. Quote

If there were a serious problem, there would be caucus stories.He better handle this but quick so that it does not become a big issue during the campaign. As a New Democrat, I might have the most to lose if Harper is booted. Quote You will respect my authoritah!!

A small but growing number of Conservatives are calling for Stephen Harper to resign. Do you think the party needs a new leader?Yes - 72% No - 28 %. n=7992 Quote
tml12 Posted September 26, 2005 Report Posted September 26, 2005 People like politicians who kiss their kids, help old women cross the street, and who buy their suits at Value Village. In other words, behaving like the common, disenfranchised people they aren't. Regardless of how I view his policies, I honestly believe Stephen Harper is a decent guy. But he's a POLICY guy, not a feel-good guy. When Stephen Harper picks up your kids, it doesn't seem real. He's not intentionally being pretentious, but it comes across that way. Jack Layton is a feel-good guy, Martin plays like he's your grandfather, and Duceppe plays the nationalist card. For a Canadian Conservative politician who is not a feel-good guy with no sweet story, there is only one card he can play, and that is the American one. Unfortunately for Stephen Harper, the Liberals are more than happy to play this card for him. Quote "Those who stand for nothing fall for anything." -Alexander Hamilton
Whosoever Posted September 26, 2005 Report Posted September 26, 2005 there is only one card he can play, and that is the American one. Unfortunately for Stephen Harper, the Liberals are more than happy to play this card for him.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> So ... it'll be a race. And THAT'S the ace card Stephen's got up his sleeve! And THAT'S how is he going to win! I hope. That is the ONLY way he can win this time around, IMO. Quote
