Opposition Hungry!

Hungry for any news coverage they can get, it's been a long dry summer for the lefties. Dion's ratings as best PM, have gone up because no one has seen him all summer, not a good thing, because once Parliament gets back into gear, he can't hide anymore.

I always gauge what the public is thinking politically by my husband, who might vote Conservative (I will send my youngest son in as a spy next election). If he is reacting to the political news, I pay attention.

This summer our big argument has been about global warming, he has heard from his work buddies that the Gore movie is good, I told him to rent both a "A Very Convenient Untruth" and "The Great Global Warming Swindle" so we could both form our own opinions. Okay, maybe my opinion is already set, but his isn't. He could not find the Great Global Warming Swindle to rent, and I refused to watch only one side, so the issue has been stalled.

Meanwhile, our MP dropped by our neighbourhood block party, what a wonderful surprise! He knew that only about 30 people would be there, but he still made the time to drop by, you can bet that all people there will vote for him next election. What those 30 people will do is talk to their co-workers about how nice he is, how approachable, how much like them he is, so take those 30 people, and start to multiply that by everyone they talk to, and you have maybe 200 to 300 people voting for him, not bad for one very personal appearance, to one small gathering. One smart politician, good for him!

So, the opposition was singing the same old tune yesterday, they didn't like the cabinet changes, because, well, uhmmm, well, no lefties got into cabinet. Dion was especially stupid, he hated the changes before they had even been announced, just like the budget, duh. Dion the supposedly great intellectual, is a dud. At University we always shrugged at the art majors, they were the bottom feeders, not able to get into engineering or business, they took sociology courses. We took sociology courses to help raise our grade points, because without even attending you could get a 7 or 8, while the core courses we were taking took hours of labs or research. Dion got his PHd in France, lived with his girlfriend/now wife there for years, wonder why he came back here?

Layton was on Duffy spouting off about nothing, but looking well put together. He's so phony, it's actually sad. Is he still living in subsidized housing?

Dawn Black and Coderre, what a pair of idiots spouting their lines, Conservatives bad, lefties good. Hezbollah Coderre is too funny, called PM Harper, the President, kind of like Williams, the Screamer, calling him Steve, both whiners, both should be given more air time, they only help the Conservatives.

Opposition hungry, yup, but it's making them look and sound stupid, but that's fine with me. That's my politically uninterested husbands opinion too.
