But to go charging off half cocked, and risk giving Harper a majority, is simply insane.<br />There is no other word for it. Both the Liberals and the NDP can use the time to prepare, as well as using it to soften up the Cons a bit.<br />And then, when the time is right, bring down the government and defeat it.<br />But sadly I can't even influence my friends so all I can do is hold my head in my hands, and just hope that the madness will end.<br />My only consolation? When I'm sitting in my rocking chair, in the ruins of Canada, I'll be able to say "I told them that would happen but they didn't listen to me. And at least that'll be something... :)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-82169228089166194482009-10-04T02:03:34.068-04:002009-10-04T02:03:34.068-04:00Hi Robert...in an ideal world, when faced with a t...Hi Robert...in an ideal world, when faced with a threat of this magnitude, I wish the Liberals and the NDP would come up with some agreement to block the Cons and get as many progressive seats as possible.<br />But although I try to be optimistic and hope for the best, I'm afraid it's going to take a Con majority to bring us to our senses.<br />And it's going to be a very very hard lesson...for us and for Canada...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-11142050242817305552009-10-04T01:59:52.062-04:002009-10-04T01:59:52.062-04:00Hi Annie S...you do realize that if we did form an...Hi Annie S...you do realize that if we did form an ABC Party we'd win by a landslide.

I wouldn't look forward to seeing Lib bloggers lay off their ill concieved strategy of a full frontal assault against Layton and the New Democrats.

The by-election for Dawn Black's vacated seat in BC will be a tough battle between the NDP and Conservatives who finished just a couple percentage points short of a victory in `08. With help from liberal bloggers we could keep it out of Harper's grubby hands.Robert McClellandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441059623685149683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-45190953270584929542009-10-03T11:41:58.810-04:002009-10-03T11:41:58.810-04:00I'm an ABC too.
