Congratulations, Canada

Will the liberals never learn. Another one bites the dust. Didn't work for
Kerry either.

It was a choice between Dumb and Dumber. This time we went with the
Cconservatives. You tell me which one is Dumber. Within 2 years there
will be an outcry to oust the Cconservatives so we can enjoy all the
lies/promises from the Lliberals.

Actually it is the left wing liberals who have gone off the bar and
continue to move left. The right wing conservatives help bring them
back where they are almost on the chart

Neither of them had any real agenda other than whoring for votes.. had
to be one of the most disappointing elections we've had in a while.

The long term outcome may turn out OK if the "Conservative" party can
stay out of everyones personal lives then we may have a viable choice..

Funny, I could have sworn the article said that one of the platforms the guy
that lost was running on was a ban on handguns. From what you guys have
been saying, he should not have been able to lose. After all, all the law
abiding citizens up there are pro ban, right?

I'm not sure the word "normal" can be applied to anyone these days who
describes themselves as politically liberal or conservative. It has to
be an oxymoron at best.
