Well, to really go wrong, those need to be retweeted...

Sorry Kate. Don't do tweet (can whistle a tune, tho). If it don't have gears and diesel, I'll pass.

NDP in BC stole bingo money from little old ladies.

The NDP are the reason why we can't have nice things.

But seriously, does their paranoia get them anywhere? If Harper was in any way, shape or form a fascist dictator, would they be bad-mouthing him lest they find themselves on the wrong end of a car battery?

NDP want to know when we're out of Afghanistan.

So do the Taliban.

An NDP supporter tweeted this on the subject:
Josie Meleca
#HarperHistory is trending & Stephen Harper is the biggest laughing stock in the country. Pathetic. Silver lining = entertaining tweets!

And I'm not making this up, this is from Josie Meleca's bio:
"I love colouring hair, practicing yoga, and living in Toronto."

That's seemingly quite a sophisticated supporter of an equally sophisticated party.

The NDP have a lock on 'Moral Hazard'.

Recorded history? Sure, the NDP uses a 24 hr self eraser.

I don't know how you're able to stand twitter Kate.

It's this big leftist cesspool where young leftists drink each other's bathwater.

I jumped on during the Alberta election, but it just seems pointless. Everybody talks and nobody is listening.

Encouraging the left to use Twitter is very useful. It keeps them from actually getting anything done.

I thought everybody had forgotten Jim Layton already. Er, I mean Joe ...

So, have we seen the end of candle-light vigils then?

While we're on the topic of history: the NDP thinks socialism actually works.

Good one, Ellie!

Kate,

Perhaps you can tweet something to the effect of:

If the Reform Party is the same as the Conservative Party, but the CCF isn't the same as the NDP, you might be a Dipper.

Thanks for the reminder of what a powerful tool humour is.
Its effect is exponentially related to how serious the opposition takes themselves.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
