..Win on your record!
There it is folks, in all it's glory!
Now, this is not acceptable to lefties, they don't want the Conservatives releasing a policy a day. They want everything out in the open right now, so that they can steal the platform and make it theirs. They can't stand the suspense of what the Conservatives might have up their sleeves. You see, they do not understand that good governance doesn't need a new and improved platform, good governance can stand on it's own record.
I'm sure the Conservatives have a "blue book" all ready to go, probably after the debates. When playing cards do you reveal your hand right away, like the Liberals green shift, or do you get the opposition to give you their platform, and then wait for the debates to comment/destroy their position?
Seems the Globe and Mail can't wait. Three weeks into the campaign, the Conservatives have not yet released a platform. Do they need to release one soon? Could they go the entire campaign without doing so?
Read the comments of Gerald Caplan (former NDP campaign manager), he is so far out to lunch that he thinks he's making sense, even Scott (beer and popcorn) Reid makes more sense than this guy.
First off, he is childish with his name calling:
The other was whatever the Bush neo-cons wanted it to be....
The Bushies who run the John McCain campaign - Steve Schmidt et al - have had no trouble bringing him over to the dark side....
Then, he spews pure lefty fear mongering garbage:
Do you think Stephen Harper and some of his more reprehensible henchmen aren't fully aware of what their soul-brothers down south have added to the dignity of the democratic process?
War and peace, national unity, the entire economy, child porn - all are grist for his political wiles.
How old is this guy? Well here is his picture.
Obviously he's old enough to get his point across without using slick innuendo, but not mature enough to write honestly. No wonder he has sad defeated looking eyes and his age lines are deeply ingrained frown lines. This person seems disappointed with life and blames it not on his own distorted world view, but on Conservatives, and particularly on Stephen Harper.
His last line reveals his complete lack of respect for any "reality" but his own.
Mr. Harper should beware: Sometimes real reality actually wins out.
Not your "real reality" Caplan, your reality is bashing Harper and trying to make him look like Bush, when the question was about releasing a political platform. Well, we see what the NDP platform is, through your eyes, and it isn't pretty, it is petty and mean. Your face outlines the NDP platform better than any words from used car salesman Layton!
