Real Republicanism, and Dion

.....and Dion's magic mystery tour is nowhere in the news because of the PM's big Ontario announcement. Not that I really enjoy the Federal government tossing around 1.5 billion here and there like candy, but damn, they know how to play politics. Amazing to see a Prime Minister act instead of just talk. Yet, the best that Goodale and Ignatieff (who seem to be running things) can come up with "Stephen Harper's mean!" Which....really worked well in 2006.

Life's a bitch for you, Monsieur, as it is for LOs. Still, the least you could do is learn reasonable English. As well, learn from the PM's latest electoral experiences. Instead of saying "I like social justice!" as if there's a lot of folk opposed to social justice, tell us what you're going to do, specifically, to combat social injustice in this nation. This is basic political stuff that any damn 18 year old news junkie could figure out. Complain all you want about lack of money and time, but your party gave the exact, I mean exact, treatment to the PM before 2004. They're not good excuses if you're serious at stopping a CPC majority. But, I'd be perfectly happy if you continued dithering around, so keep at it, eh? What has befallen the famed Big Red Machine?

Two amazing speeches. First is Ronald Reagan's 1964 A Time for Choosing and second is Barry Goldwater's 1964 Acceptance Speech.
