The “TrueBlueReformer” has a blog under http://www.stopjimmyford.blogspot.com/. He can’t understand why sending an Independent Conservative to Ottawa instead of the “official” Conservative candidate would send Harper a message. I recommended in an earlier post that Edmonton Sherwood Park elect Jim Ford, as an Independent Conservative for those very reasons.
Here is a link to that earlier post with my endorsement.
I have to wonder about these cloak-and-dagger Conservatives and their supporters. Why do they always hide behind anonymity in the blogosphere? Who are these people? Why should we believe anything they say? Why do they have to hide their identities? What are they afraid of – the truth? Who are they afraid of – the public?
I think these true believers of the Harper hypocrisy are guys who are set up to spout off but who are really afraid in their heart of hearts. They fear the political process in a free and open democracy. They fear their party henchmen and they fear their leader.
Hidden identities from party operatives trolling the Blogs means there is also a hidden agenda! Harper does not want power – he wants absolute power. We all know the truth that power corrupts. That is why the Liberals lost the last election and Canadians decided to give Harper a controlled and limited chance to govern by electing a Conservative minority.
That political experiment with Harper is our Prime Minister has proven to be a failure. The power has already corrupted Harper and the Conservative Party in just over 2 years. His record, his manipulation of the facts, the abuse and bullying, the command and control top-down centralization of political power exclusively in the PMO is proof he is not the right stuff to govern.
If he gets absolute power through a majority government one can expect it will corrupt him absolutely in less than 2 years. Harper is not worth this risk! He has shown that he is a risk to our freedoms as citizens by the way he uses power for personal political purposes, and not the greater good of the country.
A whole blog set up to discredit a candidate? And one that does not allow comments? Wow, what a complete loser is this "TrueBlueReformer". A true Prairie populist (sarcasm)
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with Ken much on this federal stuff, but he's got a point here. If the federal Conservatives don't want a bunch of "Jim Ford-s" they should reform their candidate nomination procedures.
I'm sure the other parties have similar issues (in desirable ridings, probably not in Alberta), but that's no excuse for not leading on the file. Tim Uppal, Devinder Shory, and Rob Anders - I am sure all of these individuals - should they win - would rather serve a term without the controversy of a messy nomination battle.
Ken, I agree with you. If someone dislikes Stephen Harper as strongly as you do, then voting for Jimmy Ford might make sense.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that Jimmy is trying to dupe people into thinking a vote for him is a vote FOR Stephen Harper. Not true.
A blog set up to discredit a candidate? I agree completely - the whole purpose of this blog is to discredit Stephen Harper.
