The Conspirators!

It starts small, with whispers, rumours and hushed talking. It is started by those who have a purpose and a goal that they know people will not like, and they slowly, create a worm of doubt, a hint of a problem, a smell of something not right in the air.

They are the conspirators.

They start small, then they get bolder, thinking that we must agree, because we have not protested (a decidedly lefty thing). They are sneaky and underhanded, pretending to be something that they are not, they are the weaklings hoping to rise to power.

They are the conspirators.

Who might they be? You might be thinking it's the lefties, but for once, they are not the problem, those within are the ones I am talking about. Remember it starts small, with a whisper...

One day, Prime Minister Stephen Harper will step down as leader of the Conservative party. And when that day comes, it will be a dark time for the Conservatives.

Let's face it; the Conservative party is not exactly one big happy family. Rather, it's a fragile grouping of two hostile political tribes which in the name of electoral convenience have managed to forge a successful yet uneasy alliance.

This is the way of the conspirators, create division hoping to gain from the very fact that you are the one creating that division. Attack the party that you supposedly support, while fracturing a fragile alliance with your weasel words. Give ammunition to your enemies as long as it elevates your position in your own eyes.

Three times in recent weeks, for no apparent reason, we have been pleasantly entertained by senior Conservatives who, one suspects, would otherwise wish us no ill that wasn't slow, painful and terminal.

This suggests that either spring delirium has come early to the nation's capital, or Stephen Harper's party of the bound and gagged is starting to break loose for reasons worth risking the boss's wrath.

Ammunition that allows reporters to pretend that they are only reporting what they have heard from "annoy-mouse" sources. These senior "conservatives" are being laughed at and used for the PLEASURE of the MSM. They allow the media to make real Conservatives look like fools, because it is coming from conservatives.

Speculation on Harper's demise should come as no surprise.

Last fall's federal election was his third kick at the electoral can that failed to produce a majority Conservative government.

Who are these senior conservatives? We are not told. We just get the old "senior conservative" whisper. We can not question them on their conservative credentials, because we do not know who they might be. Are they just entrepreneurs trying to sell their book? Or are they individuals that have an axe to grind, and do it by stealth, withholding their names from publication? Are they David Orchards, Keith Martins, Scott Brisons or Belinda Stronach type conservatives of convenience? We do not know.

Who are these conspirators?

Why do they constantly attack their own party, and not the Liberals who appointed a foreigner by intimidation?

Current polls show the Conservatives leading the Liberals by only a small margin nationally, while the popularity of Harper and his party in seat-rich Quebec have gone into the toilet.

Vote rich Quebec?? HA, that's funny! 75 seats, of which 35 to 40 are guaranteed separatist Bloq seats, that leaves maybe 40 open seats of which the Conservatives have 10. Is the Liberal Party of Toronto hoping to pick up 75 seats in Quebec? Remember Alberta/BC/Ont are due for some new seats.

That leaves only one obvious Conservative campaign spoiler from Quebec -- the current Liberal premier and former federal PC party leader, Jean Charest.

Sources close to Charest say he is not giving any thought to anything but running his province "for now," in part because his government is getting killed in the polls by the separatist Parti Quebecois.

But all that could change in a year.

Still only 50, Charest is into a record third term as premier, and likely wouldn't risk going for a fourth.

Charest versus Iggy for the keys to 24 Sussex -- now that would be a fun election.

DREAM on Weston, that will never happen, if it does you might be surprised how FUN the after election results just might be. Do you really take Canadians for idiots?

The conspirators...

...making up stuff about real Conservatives without really understanding what a Conservative is. I might be a fiscal and social Conservative (so I have been told), but that does not mean that I expect all my desires to be fulfilled by my party.

I am sick and tired of the SELF promoters with an agenda making trouble in my party. PM Harper is working with a minority government and all the sad little insecure people would rather slag him then support him and our party.

The conspirators....little people with little goals that do nothing to build the Conservative party. I have more respect for the Stronachs of politics then I do for these anony-mouse conspirators, at least the Stronach types crossed the floor, maybe these pretenders should as well. If you can not support PM Harper and the party, fine. Do not expect me to support you tearing down a party that I and many others have worked so hard to build. Get over yourselves. You are with us or against us, and slinking around pretending to be a conservative is demeaning to you and the party you pretend to support!
