The whole "respect for democracy" argument is specious, especially from anyone that has ever voted Liberal. Politics is a sleazy business; some are sleazier than others (Chretien), but some amount of dirt is a given no matter who is in charge. I'm not a big fan of Harper (or the CPC) - I still hold a grudge for the income trust back-stab
- but I am confident that Harper would be MUCH less harmful to the country and myself personally than any of the other alternatives. Very confident.
