We've gone Conservative!

[CheffoJeffo]

To be honest, we're not sure where Harper sits.  His track record is nonexistent, so we'll just have to wait and see. 

And we're not sure WHICH Harper will show up to Sussex Drive ... I think that Mr. Harper personally can be seen as Ultra-Conservative. His early mailings when he sought leadership of the combined party caused me to turn in my membership card (I know that some folks here will find it surprising that I was actually a member of a conservative party ... I've actually never voted for another party, despite those who have recently called me an elitist liberal ... elitist, certainly, but liberal ?).

The Steven Harper that campaigned for and won the spot of Prime Minister was not the same man who hammered on the evils of same sex marriage and how he would stop it at any cost. Hey, I almost like the new guy.

As I see it, there are two questions:

1) Which Harper is going to show up as PM ?
2) Can he maintain one "personal" viewpoint and one "party" viewpoint when the two diverge ?

It will be interesting.

Cheers.

Dammit, I've become Ultra Conservative! 

Oh boy, can I call you a fascist pig now?

Just plain pessimistic will do.
I mean this guy just sees evil doers on every corner with rocket launchers sticking out their pockets. China is after him also, and he's saying he's just taking all this gun courses for what ?

Strike "pessimistic".

 A Pessimistic paranoid will be better.

Oh, I'm sorry, did I ignore you the first time, so you thought you'd fire a few more volleys?  How about GET OVER IT.  So I picked on your stupid post...what was it..."duh, does bleach make girls stupid?".  Let it go.  Go open a window and look outside or something. 

Look. We can continue on like 2 8 year old's if you'd like.  Why not be a man and PM if you've got water in your panties instead of airing it out here in the public.  Or, you could take some advice and GET OVER IT (there's an echo in here).

Zakk, he was just funnin' ya. Don't get so worked up over it.

After all, it's Canadian politics. I mean who really cares? It's not like it has any impact to anyone

[Zakk]

Eh, I ignored the first couple of barbs.  I just wanted to put a stop to it.  However I guess a guy with 400+ posts in one month is bound to irk some people the wrong way.  I don't mind a conversation or even an argument, but when it gets to name calling, well stand up and be counted.  (I call it 'poking at the bees nest) Next he'll be making fun of this tinfoil hat I wear, or the fact that I can't sleep in a bed that isn't facing 'true north'. 

Oh...wait...hey!  I just caught that!  Canadian politics are very impactful!  Yes, you look up impact in the dictionary, and you'll see a picture of Canadian politics!  What?  Sure impactful is a word! Oh I can't win!

LOL.

He's still just trying to joke with you.

It doesn't matter who is in charge, after a while the whole thing gets into a "good ol boy" system and you have to sweep them out from time to time.

I hope it works out.  Canada is a good partner to everyone it allies with.

I was just joking too.

I think this thread was about a Canadian who believes in the ideals of the liberals, but understands the practicality of the conservatives.

c64rulez is just steps away from the spot you are at now, and he's just as confused about the realization as you were.

You know, I'll actually take that at face value, and agree.  Yes, that is exactly the point.  At this point in time anyway.

[c64rulez]

Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death.

[Dartful Dodger]

Too many people are thinking

That's all you needed to say, because that's all you're actually saying.
