What I’m not getting is that folks would prefer somebody who shares the same church as the likes of Kirk Cameron, Jim and Tammy-Faye Baker, Benny Hinn, than somebody who, well, isn’t. Why is that? No one answers me, ast least, not an answer I can be satisfied with.

I’m not getting the diviseness on our side neither. I would like to throttle our side sometimes after reading their blogs. I don’t think some are getting the bigger picture. When I hear things like Iggy is ‘Harperlite’ and that he would be similar so let’s keep the real one instaed…I get pissed with that too, not because I”m an Iggy fan, but they don’t realize that Harper’s religion makes him far more dangerous than Iggy could ever be. For example, it’s not likely that Iggy would criminalize abortion, or repeal same sex marriage a guy from his own party started (Martin Cauchon). There I already illustrated reasons why I would feel safer under Iggy. I”m not a fan, but he’s certainly the lesser of the evils.

It seems that there are gripes from those who expect much much better. So, if we don’t get the best leader, or if there are no major changes, we keep St-Stevie and his religious extemism and totalitarian regime? And why?

I have a sneaking suspiciion that ST-Stevie can once again get his majority with 37%. That’s all it took for Chretien, even with Bloc. I read a commenter from a supposed progressive who thinks it’s best for St-Stevie to get his majority, let him rule for 4 years so the Liberals can get their shit together. I asked him/her, if they were basically off their tree? I’m terrified of what a Harpercon majority can do inside a year; let alone 4. Plus, it is naive of anyone to think there would be an elecion in 4 years; I remembered that by-election Harpercon sign in Hochelaga last November; “De l’action; pas d’election.”. I too thought it was stupidity on the part of some copywriter at first, now I’m not so sure. it might well mean something on the way to having no elections at all. It’s something to consider.

No, it’s time to wake up and for progressives to unite and put their differences aside. Let’s think of the immediate danger to remedy and the greater good. We’ll put up with iggy (better than Bob Rae who could never win in both key battleground provinces of Ontario and Quebec and does shitty interviews). Iggy is all we got for the time being. Let’s try to unite and attempt to make the best of him.

Those who are still hanging on to the NDP; reality: they will never ever govern. A coalition is the closest thing to that happening. If they were to ever have governed, it would have happened under Ed Broadbent when Trudeaumania was over and John Turner had a disaster. Mulroney and the Progressive Conservatives won 2 massive majorities instead. And that was when Canadian society was more left winged than it is today.

Are we alone my friend?
