Vote Rob Anders Out: As Don at Revolutionary Moderation wrote a few days back, “Voters of Calgary West, do you want to help the ‘new’ Conservative Party ground itself as reasonable, reliable, moderate, and acceptable to voters in all parts of the country? The greatest favour you can do the ‘new’ Conservative Party is to vote against this buffoon.”
Yes, Rob Anders is the Conservative Party wingnut who said of Nelson Mandela …
“He’s the politically correct kind of ‘lib’ left poster-boy of today. I would say (RealPlayer required) that 30 years from now Nelson Mandela will not be lionized as much as he is today.”
Rob Anders. Just another reason not to vote Conservative.
And The Thuggery Just Keeps On Comin’

Is that a picture of Goofy to your right? Nope. It’s Canada’s next Prime Minister (if the polls are to be believed).
In this story from today’s Vancouver Sun, Stephen Harper’s campaign press secretary, Carolyn Stewart-Olsen, told a Canadian Press photographer to “shut up” and then slapped him twice across the face for publishing photos of Harper she didn’t like.
So, Canadians: take note. Stephen Harper is gonna be our next Prime Minister, and ya better not be doin’ anything he doesn’t like. Or one of his ‘staff’ will kick the shit out of you. Yes, the ‘new’ Conservatives are planning on building a ‘new’ Canada, where political dissent will no longer be a part of the political vocabulary. A punch here, a slap there. Before long, who knows where this kind of thing will escalate to?
At least the ‘new’ Conservatives aren’t using the Liberals tag line in this campaign, “That’s the Canada we choose. We hope you’ll choose it, too.” Because, you know what, Mr. Harper, the Canada that I choose doesn’t go around roughing up those people we don’t agree with.
In closing tonight, VanRamblings would direct you towards Loby’s Comment at the end of last night’s Decision Canada posting.
Koby also posted his comment on the Election Prediction Project message board.
The prospect of a Conservative government just gets scarier and scarier.
