Leadership.

During two national campaigns, leadership is paramount to the various parties future. I have a lot of respect for Senator McCain his ordeal in Vietnam, becoming a Senator and now only one man away from being President, (he should have won in 2000, darn Karl Rove) but ultimately the american election comes down to either a vote for the past, McCain or the future, Senator Obama. I would like for america to embrace the future. Then they should see to some electoral reform, more banking oversite, universal health care, real education support for starters. Mr. Dion is starting to grow on me, the debates will be interesting.

Bailout 2008.

The hypricrosy of the current administration in Washington knows no limits. Now that Bush's friends are going to lose millions of dollars its now a 'financial crisis'. The people in Ohio, California, Florida etc. who've lost their houses over the last year don't get a bailout but the greedy and incompentant will get one. Either bail everyone out or bail no one out.

Campaign 2008.

My feeling last time, was either we get rid of Martin or Harper. So, Harper wins a minority government and Martin resigns. This time its either Harper or Dion (and really how much longer do we have to deal with Layton?). My personal preference would be Harper. Harper is a bully and the new Conservatives are incredibly power hungry. Look how they used the RCMP at the rally in Surrey last night and this isn't the first time the Police have been used to control the media. Harper muzzles his cabinet ministers to control the message. They have revealed how callus they are when in the midst of the Listeria health crisis the person in charge the Minister of Agriculture is making jokes while people are dying!?! (If its me, I'm screaming down the phone and people are flying to Ottawa to explain to me whose responsible, charges being laid, heads rolling) The completely irrational statement concerning 'ordinary canadians' and the arts. They are ideologues who could only get so far. Now the biggest spending PM of all time puts on a sweater and breaking another campaign promise calls an election no one wanted--but him and his campign team. I wish the Liberals, NDP, and Greens would hammer him back. Harper is vulnerable in a couple of spots, maybe they can gang up on him at the debates.
