Here we go again...

You always know there is another federal election on the way when the political attack ads start up.

I f#%king HATE politicians!!!

I'm sure there must have been a time where people went to the ballot to cast their vote and actually voted for the person/people who they thought would best represent them in the government. Now it seems like the politicians want us to vote for the person who is less "scary" or who is perceived as less corrupt.

Thus far only the Conservatives have started to mud sling (although I am quite sure that the Liberals will follow suit), so I have to start with them.

Here are some questions that I would love to ask Stephen "Big Hair" Harper...

1. How long are you going to ride the Sponsorship Scandal bandwagon? This is the 3rd election that it has been brought up in attacks on the Liberals. When can we just move on?

2. How can you be critical of the Liberal's environmental policies when you have none of your own? It is funny that Stephen Harper can go from saying...

"We will oppose ratification of the Kyoto Accord and its targets. We will work with the provinces and others to discourage implementation of those targets. And we will rescind the targets when we have the opportunity to do so." -- Stephen Harper 2002

to

"We do need to work internationally, and we are working through the Kyoto process to try and get international action, to try and get action that will involve all the world's major emitters, ... These are efforts that are important and that we will continue to work on." -- Stephen Harper 2007

Some people would say that this is a flip-flop by the Prime-Minister (something that he has also accused Dion of doing in Conservative attack ads against the Liberals). I say that it is not. If you look at the quote the same way I do, it seems to me that Harper wants the international community to worry about greenhouse gas emissions so Canada doesn't have to worry about them. The old do as I say, not as I do syndrome...

3. On a similar note, I saw an ad in which the Conservative party criticizes the Liberal party for not abolishing the GST. Hmmmm... that's a thinker... How can you criticize a political party for not abolishing a tax that your political party implemented? That really doesn't make a hell of alot of sense does it?

4. Why is it that you look like a corpse wearing lipstick in many of your photos? (maybe good ole' "You can call me Steve" Harper is putting on the lipstick so he is ready to pucker up when Georgie comes to town)

5. Is that a wig or are you and "The Donald" going to the same barber?

Boy, it sure feels good to have those questions off my back.

now I think I'll have to address the Liberals. I am happy to say that I have yet to see a Liberal attack ad (although it may be just a matter of time). What I don't understand is that the Liberals don't seem to be making any effort to promote Dion. I, personally know nothing about the man, and in all of the footage and pictures I have seen of him, he seems very confused or intoxicated/insane.

Now, don't get me wrong, I like an intoxicated/insane person as much as the next guy...but cummon, after 12 years Cretchien, intoxicated/insane/confused French Canadian Prime Minister gets a little old.

Maybe after I get to know more about Dion, I'll have more to say about him and the Liberals... Until then...
