Have Conservatives Run Out of Gas?

[Michael Bluth]

This video goes over the reasons why the Tories have run out of gas.

Don't know if I agree with all of it but it certainly emphasizes the problems they had the last several weeks.

Not that anybody will be shocked, but it is Liberal Party of Canada video.

Nice unbiased source there.

I can't believe you don't see through your own bias, do you really believe that you aren't biased? It seems to me that you wait for whoever, JDobbin, WDW, BC Chick or anyone else who doesn't share your views about the CPC to post and then immediately call out their "hatred" or "bias" or accuse them of belonging to the hateocracy or whatever... I just don't get your indignation just to get the talking points out.

to attempt to get this back on track, it looks like the slow down and coming summer break (don't quite get the need for that) are creating some havoc in the general momentum of things happening, what can the CPC do or do they have anything else? I'm thinking they weren't expecting things to last this long...

I think Greg said some people are going to be turfed for this type of behaviour. We'll see if some control can't be exercised.

As far as Harper losing the agenda, the budget seems to be latest problem with publicity they have to deal with.

According to Rick Mercer, Deceivin' Stephen has 5 new priorities and has not run out of ideas, no sir-re. http://www.rickmercer.com/blog/index.cfm

1. Aboriginal issues – Canada's new government recognizes that Canada's aboriginal peoples have legitimate land claims that should be dealt with in a timely manner. To this end we promise that we will increase the number of attack ads featuring Stephane Dion by 50 percent in the next three months. In the words of great Canadian actor Joe Two Rivers – me like-em Stephen Harper.

2. The Environment – This was always a priority of Canada's new government but a government employee, a bureaucrat, accidentally spilled white-out on our platform and as a result the word "environment" was lost. This bureaucrat is an incompetent. This was not our fault this was the public services fault. We care about the environment so much we fired a slew of people in the department of the environment and are running a new Stephane Dion attack during the season finale of Canada's next top fashion Model.

3. Northern Sovereignty – The future is in Canada's north. In an effort to ensure that resources in Northern Canada are developed in a responsible way Canada's new government has instructed the department of finance to audit Julie Van Duesen and Mike Duffy's tax returns for the last 11 years. The Mike Duffy's of this world will not stop progress in the North. This must and will stop.

4. Open and Accountable government. Yes the catch phrase open and accountable will not go away. We are prepared to use it every day and every night. To ensure an even more open government communications director Sandra Buckler will now assume her new position as head of the RCMP and Canada's spy agency CSIS. Also we will cut funding to more museums.

5. This fifth priority is a secret. Any suggestion that we couldn't come up with a fifth priority is scurrilous and unfounded. Any individual, group, media outlet, political party or church group who suggests we have run out of ideas supports the Taliban.

I especially like this one.

Maybe surprise party for his big 5-0, which should be soon?
