Michael Bluth Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 So you admit that much of what we are currently seeing in Harper may be nothing but a ploy to get a majority and that once he achieves his task he may change his policies 180 degrees? LOL I agree btw... I just didn't think too many Harper supporters would admit it. No, what we are seeing Harper do now is quite similar to what he will do with a majority. Social conservatives only count for a small percentage of the current party. A 180 degree change in policies would guarantee the party would be decimated in the first election after gaining a majority. Harper has made sure the Conservatives are built to last. All the talk of *scary* *scary* *scary* if Harper ever became Prime Minister was patently false. The new line of *scary* *scary* *scary* if Harper wins a majority it equally false. Sorry to disappoint. Were you one of those who thought Harper would be scarier as Prime Minister than he has been?

jbg Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 Harper is eating your children: In the kitchen; At 24 Sussex Drive; In Ottawa; In Ontario; In Canada I'm not making this up. I couldn't possibly make it up. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
weaponeer Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 I agree with you 1000%, however there is a part of me that wants to believe that Harper did what he did to get the majority. A Harper majority would not give in to QB, I want to believe that. Minority gov't work differently, as I am sure you know. So you admit that much of what we are currently seeing in Harper may be nothing but a ploy to get a majority and that once he achieves his task he may change his policies 180 degrees? LOL I agree btw... I just didn't think too many Harper supporters would admit it. I just think regardless of political party, you have to "tiptoe" softly with a minority gov't. No I do not think Harper will turn into Dracula with a majority, altough it would make the next G8 meeting more interesting... Is it not the goal of EVERY party to get a majority........ Quote
