I suppose it's also possible that the HST objectors have researched the issue, and are just intellectually deficient, but I think uninformed is more likely.

I had someone try to explain to me that it was hurting their business, since they had to pay HST on inputs now. But they were paying PST on inputs before, and now they're going to get the HST on inputs refunded to them on their HST return. They're better off but are too uninformed or too stupid to get it.
It has bugger all to do with the HST as a tax, it has everything to do with the fact that they ran on a policy of not bringing it in and then a month later brought it in, just as they ran on a policy of not privitising BC rail and then a few months later privitised them and promised not to tear up contracts and then once elected tore up the hospital workers contract.

On three major policies the liberals have explicitly run on one position only to do the complete opposite once elected. It doesn't really matter whether the policy was good or bad, people don't like getting bs'd.
