This is a classic Conservitive line. If you aren't Con then you are a commie.
I am not a NDP supporter, nor will I vote for them. I have been Liberal for my entire life, and will vote Liberal. At least I can recognize that the 2 top parties have leadership issues that are causing non-NDP folks to vote for them in droves.
1. Iggy is a horrible leader of the Liberals, and no one trusts the Liberals after the sponsorship scandal.
2. I know this will come as a shock to Conservatives, but most Canadians do not like and/or trust Harper. That combined with the contempt of parliament, G8 summit costs, and fighter jets, and most Canadians see him as another corrupt arrogant leader, just like the Liberals.
So a lot of these votes are fed up people who have tried the 2 top dogs, and seen the results. They are not "socialists", but people who are sick of politics as usual over the last 20 years.
Cons and Libs both better do some soul searching after this election. Labeling the voters as something negative will not help them move forward.
