So Much For Being A "Progressive Party"

Scott Reid in today's Globe:
Liberals must counter immediately. That begins by positioning themselves in the sensible centre rather than as the best of the left. They must emphasize their fiscal credentials, sharpen their critique of Mr. Harper and begin now with a blatant appeal to NDP and Green voters that the Liberals alone can keep the Conservatives from a majority.
Mr. Sinister translates: We're the Liberals and we are a centre-right party, not a nasty leftist party. But progressives, just shut off your brains and vote for us anyway. Remember, Harper is a very, very, bad man. Booga booga.

    What happened to "Psycho Steve," Fester? Will he be rolled out of your closet of anxieties again after Harper is re-elected? The Globe has him proposing life sentences for 14-year-olds--except in Quebec where the cut-off is 16. Two-tier justice predicated on voter sensibilities! That sounds scary enough to me.

  2. A. Steven Harper is a bad man
    B. We need to vote to get rid of him.

    However to say C."Voting Liberal is the only option, even though we fully admit we do not share your values." does not sway me. Liberals have to offer me more than vote for us because we aren't Stephen Harper's party.

  3. "Wooly bully!"

    Fester, the only difference between your blog during this election and your blog during the last one is that you had more conservative enablers the last time.

    Yes, I guess all that Psycho Steve stuff turned some of them off.
