There are still a lot of people out there who think he still has a "hidden agenda" or just plain don't like him, as one person put it to me, "because I can see the evil in his eyes". I mean ... WTF? How can you argue against that?

Well, I'm still waiting for him to unleash his Sith Powers, bring down the Confederation, and raise and empire that will last a thousand thousand years, all while naming me as his highly paid apprentice.

The Liberal stance on the Conservative attack strategies are faily hypocritical, they have basically tried to paint Harper as an agent of Satan with a Military slant since day one. When Martin was running for re-election, I remember that he continually had a plan that he never released, however Harper in government would destroy everything that we as Canadian's hold dear. Its a lazy tactic on both sides, and its tiring to the voters who just for once would like to see a debate on the issues instead of a smear fest. Both sides are equally rotten though.

Tactically, Harper has played the Liberal's fairly well since day one, and he knows that he has them over the barrel in terms of leadership and finance, and the opportunity to plunge that knife into them was just way to powerfull. The smart thing would have been to get the budget passed, then introduce the election funding reform bill as an individual item in the house and not as a confidence motion. If the combined Libs, NDP and Bloc vote it down, then you have a ton of ammo for the next election.
