They neither care about actual small-government policy nor, in all likelihood, know what a 'eunuch'is. Worse yet, they flog the troika horse anytime they need to so as to avoid thinking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859678.post-49898008836098015672009-10-13T15:26:35.010-04:002009-10-13T15:26:35.010-04:00And the alternative would be what Gerry?
Would a ...And the alternative would be what Gerry?<br /><br />Would a coalition of crooks, socialists and separatists be more to your liking?<br /><br />Would they run this country closer to your ideals?<br /><br />Didn’t think so! Or am I wrong?<br /><br />The Conservative Party is the government and must take into consideration all Canadians opinions, whether they voted for them or not. That’s why they act like they do. They are as good as it gets for the time being.<br /><br />But you can cheer up Gerry, the way things are going, the Conservatives will get a strong majority and besides that, the Conservatives are doing an excellent job, all things considered.Blame Crashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03736137844334640019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859678.post-60524807175378467622009-10-13T13:37:42.036-04:002009-10-13T13:37:42.036-04:00What deferral to the future?

Then he brought in a carbon "charge" (read: tax). Now he's planning to hike unemployment insurance premiums by $15.5 <b>billion</b> which was called a tax when Chretien/Martin did it and Harper/Kenney were conservatives. And now Say Anything is also going to raise taxes in BC and Ontario through the HST.<br /><br />All this, as we learn that Say Anything's record breaking spending actually did put us into deficit in 2008. And he won't release the numbers to Kevin Page so we have no idea if his predictions about the budget now, unlike his last 6 major budget predictions, are anywhere close to reality.<br /><br />To put Anonymous 12:33's comments a bit differently, being a "tax and spend" liberal is bad enough, but being a "borrow and tax and spend" conservative is worse.Ted Bettshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06223729391428982448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859678.post-84579710674612923452009-10-13T12:33:54.208-04:002009-10-13T12:33:54.208-04:00Borrowing money to give tax cuts is just dumb publ...Borrowing money to give tax cuts is just dumb public policy and not in the least conservative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859678.post-4551191225355384562009-10-13T11:24:16.686-04:002009-10-13T11:24:16.686-04:00It's not about cutting taxes Jason, it's a...It's not about cutting taxes Jason, it's about cutting government. Its size, intrusion and mission creep as our nanny. Once trimming this back to rational levels the tax savings are self evident as we keep more of our productivity in our jeans pocket that was previously stolen for the greater glory of bloated government hegemony.<br /><br />Kenny is a good MP and plain spoken most days but we see he isn't beyond apologizing for government bloat.Bill Eldernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859678.post-51521350141004703192009-10-13T10:52:03.021-04:002009-10-13T10:52:03.021-04:00Kenny is another one of the great conservative dis...Kenny is another one of the great conservative disappointments.
