I only hope American voters are smarter than Canadian voters

I always wonder about comments about these...why is every one else dumb because you don't like the way Canada voted...
Not to mention by telling everyone to vote Bush you are essentially being hypocritical...Bush lied to his country too...and went to war because of it. You being conservative is the reason why you think Liberal people are dumb, not because you thought the Liberals didn't deserve to be there because they lied...
Tackle the real issues!!!! If you are going to say why people should vote for Bush/Harper and not Kerry/Martin

You're right... I guess I expect people to not vote for parties that are corrupt and proven to be either completely financially inept or crooked.
Whether or not Bush lied is nothing but heresay unless you can provide real records that prove there was nothing and Bush still went for it... and don't say Michael Moore or Hans Blix because even he admitted he could be wrong and the Americans right.
I am fairly conservative, I won't hide it... but I'm also a political realist. Logically people are supposed to be outraged when a party is caught red-handed with its hand in the cookie jar... alledged corruption is always assumed with any party, but they got caught, period.
I can accept hardcore Liberals still voting Liberal, in fact, I expect and respect it. What I can't abide is the stumbling masses who are supposed to be the swing vote between us loyal Tories and loyal Grits who say just garbage as, "well, I would have voted Conservative if they had a better leader... you know, some one from Ontario or Quebec." (ignoring Harper is Ontarian by birth) Or, well, I didn't pay attention to the news, but I don't like Americans and Harper says he doesn't hate them... or, well, I still have a job, and get regular "pork" from the government, who cares about scandals, poor governance, or, the one I hate the most, I don't like change.

Well by this logic I am sure you won't be voting for Ralph Klein....
Ok who am I kidding you will. But our Conservatives our Alberta conservatives are pretty corrupt themselves, didn't 80mil just go missing for our Health Care...Why don't you say you vote the way you do because you are Conservative...rather than saying everyone else is dumb for voting Liberal
Edit - Actually I seem to remember you not being from Alberta, and if that is the case your point stands. However many other Albertans say the exact same thing as you and turn around and vote Conservative in Alberta. The person I vote for is the person who best represents my principals.
