Helena Guergis, Didn’t Your Mother Ever Tell You It’s Rude to go Where You’re Not Wanted? I Got a Challenge For You!–Update

Indeed. You and your people claim the good folks of Simcoe-Grey want you to continue representing their interests in Ottawa.  Andy Beaudoin, the riding association’s riding secretary appears to be confidant of that. Ok, then, how  does CTV (Remember, the C stands for Conservative) get all kinds of video footage showing folks wanting to run you and your hubby out of town? I had read articles from your riding saying that folks were tired of you and your hubby’s antics.

Plus, your not wanted in Harpercon caucus; clearly.

Didn’t your mother teach you not to go where you’re not wanted? The question is, who doesn’t want you? The good folks of Simcoe-Gray? Conservative Caucus? Or both?

It’s clear to this day, Master Stevie and his Harpercons no longer want you around. My next question is, with the horrible way he treats even his female MPs in Caucus; why would you even want to subject yourself to that?

Maybe it’s just Master Stevie contolling his agenda yet again. Ooops! What do you know? Free speech from Harpercon detractors appears to be obstructed yet again. Oh dear.  Folks, you sure you don’t believe Master Stevie is not attempting to be a totalitarian; perhaps even a facist dictator? But I digress.

But riding officials also accused the Conservative Party of using heavy-handed tactics to replace Guergis with well-known Conservative activist Kellie Leitch, an orthopedic surgeon at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto and director of the Health Sector MBA program at the University of Western Ontario’s Richard Ivey School of Business.

In a lengthy letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the Conservative electoral district association in Simcoe-Grey complained of repeated interference, obstruction and gag orders by Conservative headquarters.

“We don’t want to lose this seat in the next election. But head office personnel have deliberately interfered with, obstructed and circumvented our autonomy as an association, and our right to freely express our opinions,” the executive members wrote.

Some seem to argue that you were a fighter for women’s organizations. I personally don’t believe it, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt for the sake of the challenge I am about to launch.

Question is, are you up for it? Perhaps it’s time to put your political career to the ultimate test.

You have your own contacts in the riding of Simcoe-Grey who seem to be ready to support you.  Raising money is difficult, but again, if the riding still thinks you’re best suited to represent their interests in parliament, then it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.  If Folks working for   Conservative electoral district association in Simcoe-Grey, perhaps they can send some folks your way.   Run as an independent. Yes indeed that would be the ultimate test of the Harpercons, their new doctor star, Kellie Leitch and of course, yourself.

Simcoe-Grey isn’t Calgary West. It’s not what one could consider a ‘safe’ Harpercon riding. Liberals had it before you did.

What’s the worst that can happen? You lose? Well, if you didn’t run as an independent, you’re out of parliament anyway. In the words of Janis Joplin, my idol, “freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose”.  If you were to win, well,  I see it this way, with Steve’s numbers on the rise yet again,  one less seat for Harpercons is always a good thing. Plus, you can vote  against all of his confidence motions.  Yes, they say success is the bet revenge.  Well, for those who take the high road anyway. If you’re like me, revenge is a bitch best served cold.  If you  were to beat out the good doctor, Perhaps you should warn the good doctor exactly how Master Steve deals with his female MPs and support staff, particularly if they don’t behave like  good little girls.

A prominent doctor who looks after kids. Hmmm! Pediatric orthopedics (or any specialty) joining Harpercons as ‘star’ candidate = (no, not health minister; remember health not important enough for Steve to waste a star candidate on; it’s ditzs like Agluquack with not post-secondary education) Furthering the agenda to further Americanize Canadian health care. Oh Lawdy!

As for you Helena, my dear, the smartest thing you can do toward any end for your career is to dump Rahim. He just ain’t worth the trouble.

Update: Apparently the latest over at BCL is that it looks more and more like Helena Guergis will indeed run as an independent. More about that here. Notice that she still really wants to come back to the Harpercons. I’m not getting that. Why would anyone want to rejoin a party whose leader threw under the bus so publicly?

Anyhow, as I commented over at BCL,  I think the Liberals have a shot of taking Simcoe-Grey whether or not Guergis runs as an independent, depending what you hear and read.  Remember, as mentioned above, the riding association may claim Guergis’ constituents really want her back, but I remember CTV Question Period ‘randomly’ questioning folks on the streets of Simcoe-Grey, all claiming they were fed up of her scandals and the antics of Rahim Jaffer.

There is, of course, another factor at play here. It all depends on who Steve the master tactician plans to nominate for Simcoe-Grey. Rumour has it that he wants to run prominent Harpercon activist,  Dr Kellie Leitch as their ‘star’ candidate.  From all that I’ve read about her, she’s a very well respected doctor and academic. She could well take the riding back for the Harpercons with more than Guergis’ 2008 vote.

Thus far, Leitch has denied the rumour, although, as time goes on, she doesn’t seem to deny that it’s a possibility neither. We all know that sometimes rumours of this kind do have a way of coming out true.
