Default How will CalgaryPuck vote?

One week from today we will have a new government. Let's see what it would look like if it was up to the CP community.

Green

I don't like the Liberals enough right now to vote for them, but I don't hate the Conservatives enough to vote against them.

Ideologically, I have more in common with the Green than the NDP. If the Liberals can get their act together, maybe I'll vote for them next time.

Agreed. I think most people here know what side of the spectrum the majority of posters on here sit on.

It could have been a lint ball under the Conservative flag and I would have voted for it. Party before the person

Please... explain why...

I hate to beat a dead mule but Anders...
"the time that someone proposed that Nelson Mandela be given honorary Canadian citizenship. Now, this doesn't happen often, in fact it had only happened once before. One reason it doesn't happen is that it requires a unanimous vote in the house of commons, and likely the senate as well. Rob Anders, however, was the only MP to vote against the motion, justifying his actions by claiming that Mandela is a "communist and a terrorist". When Mandela tried phoning Anders to talk things out, Anders refused to even take the call."

by the way, Mr. Anders won Calgary West in the last election by over 14000 votes

Sorry, gotta go Green. Paul Martin is the Turd Sandwich and Harper is a Giant ######. Layton looks more like a highschool guidance counsellor rather than a PM. Between the big 2, I guess I would only like to smack Martin in the face only once, while I would enjoy to repeatedly kick Harper in the junk. So I guess I'd be lessed choked with a Liberal minority, and kinda freaked with a Tory government.

Green. As for Rob Anders and the 14000 voters, so what? The Liberals got more votes than your Cons last several elections, is that some sort of validation?
Chumps like Anders almost make me wish the Liberals get in again just to see you as infuriated as me by the likes of him.

Unfortunetly my area has Anders... and I ain't voting for the Canadian Action Party, (fools!) so I'll probably default to green, even if I disagree with some of their platform

I actually like my Conservative MP (Jim Prentice - if they had more candidates like him I'd likely be a supporter) but I'm sticking with the Green Party.
