Whenever election time pollsters call me I swear at them before I hang up (also do that to friends and clients, it's a general policy of mine), but according to recent polls, it's starting to look like Harper's natural down-home charm is working on more voters. (and no, this isn't a call for strategic voting)
The fact that no one is hearing a peep out of any other conservatives or their support organizations seems to help. (no gay bashing, no stomping on Quebec flags, no chaining themselves to abortion clinics, it's like they've all been tied up and locked in some basement, with promises that they'll be released once there is a conservative government)
Back in mid December, this wee bit of obsequious ankle licking, from a 1997 speech to the Council for National Policy, an American think tank, rose up to bite him in the butt, but Harper's pals assured us that he was really just doing a parody himself, like a performance art thingy ...really.
my golly but that's an entertaining–if nerve-wracking–good read! I like "...the NDP is kind of proof that the Devil lives and interferes in the affairs of men." yeeeee-haw.
this one's good too: "That's not to say – and I would never be quoted as saying – we're headed to a civil war."
