Stephen Harper and the Great Con Debate Fiasco

As we all know Stephen Harper was hoping to torpedo the political leaders's debates, by boycotting the ones organized by the big three tv networks. The ones that millions of Canadians watch.

And replacing them with a series of smaller debates, with friendlier moderators, on channels that hardly anyone watches.

And hoping that the big three networks would cancel their debates, because he wouldn't be there.

But sadly for him his bluff has been called. 

Chicken Harper's Possibly Fatal Great Debate Miscalculation

I don't know  who came up with the idea to have Stephen Harper dress up as a chicken and boycott the debates organized by the three main television networks.

Whether it was Kory Teneycke, or one of the other incompetent stooges in the PMO.

Or whether Chicken Harper himself laid that egg.

But one thing is for sure, that decision is starting to look like an absolute political disaster.

Stephen Harper and the Great Con Debate Fiasco

Whatever Stephen Harper and his grotesque Con regime say about the way they have blown up the political leader debates. Or the stinking fish they are trying to sell us.

Nothing can change the fact that a fish is a fish.The process is now a fiasco. It is yet another assault on our electoral process.

And yet another attempt by Harper and his thuggish gang to bend or manipulate the rules. 

Why Stephen Harper's Great Con Debate Scam Could Backfire Badly

Well now we've heard it from the horse's mouth, or the horse's ass, or the scary puppet Stephen Harper himself. He will NOT take part in the biggest of the political leader debates. 

Prime Minister Stephen Harper reiterated Friday he will not take part in a national English debate that would be broadcast by the major TV networks.

He will not say why he would boycott a debate that is watched by more Canadians than any other. But he will try to suggest that this democratic demolition derby isn't really his idea. 

The Cowardly Dodger Stephen Harper and the Great Con Debate Scam

It's frustrating to see that even some of my readers think that Stephen Harper's crass attempt to fix the party leader's debates might be good for progressives.

And are sending me comments like this one, with lots of periods in it:

Anonymous 2:29 AM 

Let.the.other.Parties.Debate.without.him.and.it.will.be.HarperCons.Downfall...Good.for.Canadians!!!!!

So that I might read it slowly, and understand that hopeful belief better.

Even though I thought I had made it clear that Harper's plan, as might be expected, is just another grubby Con scam.

So. I. guess. I'm. going. to. have. to. be. even. clearer.
