Obviously that last statement says different things to different people.
Thanks. Harper is a weird cat. He doesn't behave like a conservative. He's not decisive in his spending. He's afraid to cut. He builds an immigration policy where the influx of new workers isn't supported by full time job creation. He's easily sold on foreign military equipment, and then doesn't buy any. Generally bad with money. Supports (like all 4 parties) giving funds to parents to increase childbirth rate.

If he ran on a platform of acting like a grumpy old conservative, death grip on the checkbook, desperate to build roads, I might vote for him. He's the new type of Conservative, where everyone (us) is a criminal and the stock market indicates standard of living. Not cool, man. Not cool. Be Dwight Eisenhower, Harper, and I'll vote for you.
