Bob Rae was one of the worst Premiers in the history of Canada, and his leadership is politically toxic in the vote rich Province of Ontario. So when Bobby muses that the NDP and Liberals should form a coalition like the one he participated in 25 years ago and people respond with concern; his response is "the Harperites have one way of practicing politics: it’s called ‘demonize and smear.’ It’s all a little silly". Mr. Rae, there were millions of people who strongly opposed your leadership long before they ever knew who Stephen Harper was. Just because millions of Canadians are fearful of Rae's ways, I hardly think that qualifies as "hysteria from the dark side."
And yet that was Bobby's retort in Taber's words today. I suppose the dark side reference should energize Bob's base who view Prime Minister Stephen Harper as being Chancellor Palpatine just waiting for a majority government to execute "order 66". I'm curious what qualifies someone as a "Harperite"? I support the Prime Minister and I think Bob Rae was the worst Premier in the history of Canada, so I suppose that makes me a Harperite? Where Bobby and I would disagree the most is what constitutes "the dark side". I lived in Bob Rae's Ontario. It was pretty f**king dark...
"the Harperites have one way of practicing politics: it’s called ‘demonize and smear"
ReplyDeleteHmmmm - that's a bit rich, Bobby - accusing the Tories of demonization and smear when that is ALL that the Liberals (and their MSM toadies) have been doing for more than 4 years.
Hidden Agenda

Harperites
I am sure that more of your readers can add to this list.
If Bob wants to talk about demonizing and smears he should look no further than the closest mirror.
LibDippers have never accepted that Canadians rejected the coalition of losers because it stinks of party self interest.
ReplyDeleteJack and Gilles parachute Dion (the weakest link) into 24 Sussex, and serve themselves up cabinet and Senate seats.
It stinks (even without the BLOC).
Rae's accord was a 'working majority' (as Wherry says), there were no cabinet seats in the offering, no coalition of losers.
Harper has a 'working majority' right now,
he works issue by issue to win a majority vote.
And do Liberals think Jack's Dippers are going to parachute Iffy into the PMs chair, for just a handshake in return....lol
Both Iffy and Bob and every Liberal MP signed onto a coalition agreement to put Dippers in cabinet. Why would Dippers accept any less next time?
Sorry, I couldn't hear what Rae said because there are too many knuckles dragging on the floor over here.
ReplyDeleteCould you get him to repeat his smear again please.
'Could you get him to repeat his smear again please. '
ReplyDeleteEasy AA,
"ALL YOU NEOCONS ARE KNUCKLE DRAGGERING NEANDERTHOLS"
How does that sound(lol)
Oooooooooh, a week of coaltion talk from the Libs and their media,
ReplyDeleteand another poll:
Tories increase lead over Liberals
The Tories lead by 12 percentage points across the country, holding steady at 37% - nearly the same percentage of vote share that delivered a minority government in October 2008.
Liberals obtained 25% of respondents’ support while the NDP received 17%, a three percentage drop from a similar Leger survey last month.
