I think it is rather funny how in recent memory the Liberals have come closer to practising what the Conservatives preach yet they are still a 'tax and spend' party unworthy of electing.

How are the cross burnings in Hedy Fry's neighborhood going?

Ha ha that's hilarious and of course bound to be completely authentic.
Can't wait for the one showing Iffy wearing tattered jeans and patched shirts because his family was just a poor immigrant family, and his quote being about how he likes the soup from the soup kitchen on Wednesdays better than Sundays.

What about guys like me who are undecided?
I have no idea what Hedy Fry did or said actually? I don't even know what riding she's in...never really gave it a second thought.

Edit: Actually Ignatieff looks more like an aristocrat than a geek. Makes snese.

I just love that Stephen Harper's pet peeve is reality... after all, it has a liberal bias.

You're about as undecided as Iffy is when it comes to who to vote for. As has been pointed out repeatedly in this thread, you have slagged every single party save one, whom you have vigorously defended at every turn.

The funniest thing is that before the campaign I took an Ekos poll and was undecided and leaning CPC.
I've laid out some comments about the Liberals here though and nobody seems to care. Who can I argue with if I just say I'm voting for Harper? I think debate and disagreement are awesome and really the healthiest part of a democracy.

I want to know what a "cross-country 'bus driver'" is.
Sounds like either a drug thing or a kinky sex thing. Either way, go Steve.

Who is saying that you should ignore it? People are just saying that it isn't something to be read into. Heck, even if it is true and a Conservative majority would see federal funding for Planned Parenthood come to an end, so what? That should probably be funded provincially anyway and it's not like this would have any affect on abortion laws, so what would you like to see Conservative supporters do? Disown the party because of something that is so inconsequential even if it is true? I think the appropriate response is not to blow this out of proportion.

I would love to see the full weight of the law come down on these people.
(My apologies to the Pot Party......just picked a group at random.....figured they'd be too disinterested to get pissed at me)
