Boo!
Betcha you thought that was Stephen Harper—that “scary” guy! But don’t worry, it wasn’t Stephen Harper. He’s not scary, as even remotely intelligent people all know very well.
What’s scary—and scared—is Liberal Paul Martin. But am I alone in thinking that they have so massively overplayed this “scary” ploy that it’s literally become a joke now? What’s this—year eight of the “scary” thing? Memo to Team Martin: Canadians aren’t scared of Stephen Harper, get over it, nice try (no not really), move on, or out, or over.
The tired Liberals and their total lack of any fresh ideas is starting to become as obvious as their desperation.
And the reliably good Greg Weston of Sun Media serves up a good analysis of the desperate Liberals’ situation, again today.
On this day, the topic that seems to have stirred the PM’s passion from so much sleep deprivation is clear: Paul Martin is wonderful. Stephen Harper is a menace to life as we know it.
How quaint. The prime minister who came to power promising to clean up politics is now seeking re-election as a walking negative-attack ad.
For the past five weeks, the Liberal strategy has been largely to sit on the sidelines in the smug hope that the more voters saw of Harper, the less they would like him and that the rest of the Conservative campaign would self-destruct in a hail of political stupidity and loose lips for which the party is notorious.
It didn’t happen.
[…] So far, the Conservative strategy seems to be working as planned and the Liberals are now clearly worried to the point of desperate measures.
[…] While most of Martin’s portrait of Harper is more a work of creative desperation than accurate description, far be it from the Liberals to let the facts get in the way of a good smear.
