Will I Take Harper At His Word?

Let's say I buy into Harper's paranoia about an evil coalition. Then is he encouraging me to vote Liberal in order to strengthen the number of potential coalition members in the House? That is the rational response to his message, since the Liberal finished second by 17 votes, in my riding last time. However, I would have thought he would rather have me vote NDP, out of principle, and allow the current Conservative MP to get in on the split vote. Am I missing something, or is the Vulcan chess master as crazy as he seems?

Shorter Harper

What we did in 2004 was not a coalition. It was an agreement to cooperate on an ongoing basis with socialists and separatists. Now you have known me long enough now to know that when I say "cooperate", I mean "Do what I want". So, the socialists and separatists were, in effect, agreeing to make me a majority Prime Minister without endangering the economy with an unnecessary election. Check and Mate. Now if you excuse me, mommy says I can go play with my dollies.
