The Wiberals are simply playing the victimization card in order to make the Conservatives look ‘mean-spirited.’ This will drive more men into the Conservative camp because nobody wants limp-wristed wimps running anything. However, the same might not be true with the female vote, unfortunately.

Of course, the media pander to soft heads–another lethal combination.
