Arguing politics on CP is basically a waste of time. The Harper apologists take every issue and basically say "Its not a big deal" or "(fill in opposition leader) is not a good alternative".
To me the worst comment though is "sponsorship scandal" or something else from years gone by. It makes it sound as though its OK that Harper and his cronies have committed some transgressions because the other major party screwed up a few years ago. Why voters should accept that as any sort of defence just boggles the mind.

actually, those of us who work for a living outside a union environment find spending policies and taxation policies of the NDP and Liberals to be distasteful. that is why they are not an appropriate alternative. I can't afford to live under their government plans.
