Kick at the Darkness

Today the left threw in the towel.

Buzz Hargrove encouraged people to vote strategically, and vote Liberal where an NDP candidate cannot win.

Jack Layton encouraged people to vote NDP in Saskatchewan because the Liberals cannot win there. Strategic voting is the last hope of the hopeless. James Carville once said that a candidate that relies on new voters has a special name.......... loser. The same can be said for the party that relies strategic voting.

Vote for you who you want to vote for. Any party that asks you to vote against your will (as opposed to trying to change your will, which is just campaigning) is full of it. Don't vote for them.

The Greens have strong thoughts on this topic.

Stephen Harper has lead off with pandering much earlier than in most campaigns. Poorly thought-out ideas that work as quick-fixes are usually the realm of the NDP, but Harper has managed to bump them out of their wheelhouse for this one.

"Do you dislike taxes"

"YEAHHH"

"Do you dislike cold weather"

"YEAHHH"

Your good friends at the CPC will take care of you!!! Good idea or not.

Tax shifting is a good idea, but not the Tory way.
