I may not agree with died in the wool Liberals or NDP'ers or staunch Green Party supporters but I at least admire them for the courage of their convictions and their willingness to support their party through the bad years as well as the good.
You on the other hand appear to only support the tumbleweed party.

This isn't sports. Loyalty is not something to be admired. It's actually the opposite. Continuing to support the CPC in the face of all the terrible things they've done is something I find inconceivable. The anti-science attitude of the party alone should be enough to convince someone not to vote for them. I suppose it comes down to what you value. If you value number one and the almighty buck, then the CPC is for you. If you care about the welfare of others and of the country as a whole, then there are three other choices for you. Simplistic maybe, but judging by the number of Albertans around here who trumpet the interests of Albertans and their tax dollars, I think in this case the simplistic determination is pretty much correct.
For the record, in 2008 I voted Liberal, because all other things being equal, I vote Liberal. In 2011 I voted NDP, because I liked what the candidate had done as MP in the previous three years, and I felt she was better qualified than the Liberal candidate. In the 2012 by-election, I voted Green, because the Green candidate was the only one who had spoken out against the billion dollar sewage boondoggle, which was going to waste hundreds of millions of Canadian taxpayer dollars, hundreds of millions of British Columbian taxpayer dollars, and be far more harmful than the status quo to the environment.
My candidates won 1/3 of those races. Hardly bandwagon jumping.
