Looks like the tide is turning with regards to our leftist coup d'etat.

I thought they just HAD an election?............

Whew. Although I usually don’t look at polls, this one is very reassuring. LET THE VOTING BEGIN!!! GO HARPER!

Excellent. Bet if we were fortunate enough to be able to hold another election in the US today, with Gov Palin as our candidate, we'd smoke Comrade Obama easy.

You can keep your oil, the artic circle (if it ever defrosts and you keep the Russkies out), Shania, and the French.

BUT WE WILL BECOMING FOR HARPER.

Incredible. This whole episode is incredible, it has me mesmerized. American politics is like watching paint dry in comparison.

But I honestly feel bad for the Liberal Party. Forest Dion Gump brought this on, and it shows - in a lineup of political party leaders, he is being beaten out in public support by a FUTURE leadership CANDIDATE who nominally "supports" him. The Liberal Party got stuck with possibly the worst candidate that ran (Rae makes me hesitate in saying that). He and his insiders have inflicted a serious wound upon the body of the party - linking them to the unpopular NDP and Bloc, cementing connotations that first sprang up with Dion's "Green Shift" scam. Are the Liberals going to be the European equivalent of a "socialist democrat" party? That won't fly in more than a handful of area codes. It will destroy the party, and that is not good for Canada (as it brings that country one step closer to making the NDP and Greens politically relevant).

If Harper pulls a majority out of this, he will cement his reputation as the most adept political leader in North America in a century. I would have never advised such a reckless approach, and was enraged when I saw the budget that was proposed (not that I disagree with any of the items - I just did not think that an important budget was the right place to antagonize the political opposition and give the public an image of childish antics). I'm impressed by the public's reaction. There has been a lot of rage leveled at the Liberals by their supporters...and to think that Harper calculatingly backed Dion into that corner, just wow.

Should Harper make all this work out with a sensible budget in January, and an opposition in disarray, he will be PM for another decade, and may preside over the reconstitution of the best darn Dominion on the planet!

Seriously, this is truly good news.

At 51% it would be a landslide win for the Conservatives. They would easily get two thirds of the seats in the House Of Commons. Do Stephane Dion, Jack Layton and Gilles Duceppe really want to tempt fate?

The hippies fled to Canada during the Vietnam War, I’m thinking fleeing to Canada during the Obama administration. Funny how things work out eh?

[Heatseeker]

Even the Ipsos and Ekos polls have the Conservatives well into majority territory.
