Easy, he simply uses and has ever since elected using tax dollars on a regular basis as if it were his private bank account to do and yet his con supporters are still promoting his radial behavior<br /><br />RR<br /><br />.<br />Yup.. Can’t you tell that we bribed all the CBC talking heads also? They were saying “The Harper government” long before we asked them to.<br /><br />Radin, a lone match in the box which actually promotes into smaller brain power. But I suppose sticking with the man who accumulates more money and has more seats really appeals to him even thought he will eventually be just as screwed as real Canadians are. It doesn’t seem to click in his dimmed scull that what Harper is doing is illegal and bogus(fraud) and facing criminal charges still doesn’t ring a bell in his world. That is typical of an immature child always cheering for the leader because he is leading. Take Tiger Woods as an example, he could do no wrong in peoples mind until he screwed up in his private life and that transferred to his golf skills. He has been losing sponsors ever since as well as public support daily, his golf game appears amateurish and others have taken up viewers support as will Harper while the Media still keeps calling him the best golfer in the world. He once was but no more but yet they still repeat those lines. Actually it makes the Media bias even if the past 2 years results say differently. Same goes for Harper but you could say the past 5 + years as his character has never changed but in actuality has become more radical bordering on physiologic behavior .Raiden rain really does not have enough to do while sitting around his CP daily and must sit around 24/7 with a totally blank look on his face as to match his lack of common sense and symptoms of being totally brain washed to the very core. <br /><br /> I take that back comparing RR to an immature child. At least children seem to at least have some sort of common sense which is obviously missing with RR and Harpers core supporters.<br /><br /><br />.. Can’t you tell that we bribed all the CBC talking heads also? They were saying “The Harper government” long before we asked them to<br /><br />OH!!! RR which positions do you hold with Harpers party? Obviously cheer leader only and I could say a lot more but I think you can get the general drift or do generally simply donate every dollar allowable in his government or possibly more than legal. <br /><br /> <br />This is my rant for the day.<br /><br />Happy Saint Patrick Day to all and yes, even you RR.mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07878825121729826425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-41758352691930210142011-03-17T00:20:22.726-04:002011-03-17T00:20:22.726-04:00Yup..

They simply 'white collar' stole it from *all* Canadian citizens via cooking the books and using Government departments as their personal advertising house.<br /><br />If the Conservatives had to pay for all the free airplay they have granted themselves, how deep would their pockets be again? If that's not the point gotten through to people, what *is* going to impinge on them?<br /><br />PS: I'd like to see some costing genius actually figure out how much all the 'free' advertising should have cost the Cons out of their own party pocket.Nileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04096047389811381098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-52096752278316028382011-03-16T18:43:30.340-04:002011-03-16T18:43:30.340-04:00It could be argued that Conservative supporters ar...It could be argued that Conservative supporters are more ideological and thus more fervent in their support of their political party.. which means they're far more willing to donate to their chief cause.<br /><br />Liberals, being a moderate/centrist party, that has a party of moderates, seems to have more difficulty in whipping up their supporters into a passion, whether they dislike Harper or not. The LPC, if I'm not mistaken, is the party with the most party members. If all party members could be persuaded to donate what they are able.. they'd give their party more of a fighting chance in between elections. The problem is to spur them on to do so.Oxford County Liberalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12181314055142726735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-2505645358609455902011-03-16T18:00:13.255-04:002011-03-16T18:00:13.255-04:00When the donation limit was $5k and corporations a...When the donation limit was $5k and corporations and union donations were allowed, the Liberals relied on fewer but larger donations from businesses and wealthy individuals. The Reform/Alliance parties cultivated a system of many more donors donating smaller amounts. When corporate and union donations were banned (Chretien), and the limit was lowered from $5k to $1k (Harper)(think it's about $1100 or so now) the Conservative system was still good to go, but the Liberals had to abandon their strategy and adjust to the new model. Years later, despite much effort and many struggles, they still haven't.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971310821484459106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-2386009632628256712011-03-16T17:55:42.314-04:002011-03-16T17:55:42.314-04:00Is there a particular reason for the fundraising g...Is there a particular reason for the fundraising gap?

The Conservatives are disintegrating. It should be like shooting ducks at an arcade.<br /><br />I have yet to see a Liberal ad on TV. I've seen hundreds of Conservative ads, mostly wildly effective attack ones. I doubt these new Liberal attempts will be any different than the past.<br /><br />What will it take for the Liberals to understand the 21st century demands messaging, emotion and slogans? We need to give up higher aspirations and fight back.Jim Parretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15331887342292476909noreply@blogger.com
