Attack of the Liberals

This is hardly surprising, the new Liberal attack ad is trying to connect Bush and Harper. This is the same strategy that the Liberals have used for several elections. What is scary is that it always works.



I hope it fails this time, I really do.

In other Liberal attacks, what is (now) old news is the plagiarism charge leveled by the dishonourable Bob Rae. What a sad state of affairs. The staffer responsible has now resigned, but, my theory is that it was never about the actual plagiarism.

The plagiarism was simply the burning drink going down the throat rotting the gut out of the Conservative campaign, the media attention grabber. Really, the Liberals are more interested in the bitter aftertaste they are hoping to plant by stealth.

This bitter aftertaste is the linking of Harper to Bush and the "coalition of the willing", and the bringing up of old wounds over Iraq. I think this was the real goal of this whole episode.

Link this attack with the new Liberal attack ad and it all comes together. Bereft of any actual policies that Canadians can buy into, the Liberals simply resort to their old pathetic smears. Using the leader of our greatest ally and largest trading partner to smear a good and honest man, a politician that puts country before the polls, something the Liberals will never do.

The Liberals are pathetic, down in the polls, their chance at power slipping through their slimy green fingers they return to their old stomping grounds, smearing Harper with Bush.

We're better off with Harper.
