SDP = Same Dumb Policies

Stephen wrote in the comments of Kate's link to a prior post of hers:

Yowza! Kate has linked to a five-week old story about a four-month-old poll, bolding a clause including the phrase 'it now holds.'

Perhaps Stephen can take this up with The Star Phoenix. After all, on Friday October 27, Randy Jackson wrote about the last poll taken regarding the NDP, Sask Party, and the Liberals. Which poll was Randy Jackson (on page A2) talking about? The same one that Kate posted.

No wonder there has been a dearth of polls lately from the usually poll-obsessed Old Media.

I suggest they just go by their official name - SGEU.

Non-existent dysfunctional pretenders.....

Coalition Of Maoist Monkeys United Now In Socialistic Tragedy (COMMUNIST)....and they could have the following slogan...."Is the toilet paper to rough or should I continue wiping?".

I can hardly mention the NDP without my blood pressure spiking so it might be good for my health if the Socialist Bastards changed their name. I suggest changing the NDP (New Democratic Party) to NFG ( No Future Growth).

(Really my wish is that they are absolutely decimated in the next provincial election and never return to harm Saskatchewan as they have all these past years.)

It is so nice to live here in Alberta and never hear their name mentioned in any political conversation I've had since moving here. To be NDP free is wonderful!!

If they were any kind of a Democratic Party,wouldn't they allow or even encourage secret ballots for union certification?

Apparently not.

I guess the Communist Party is taken, right? I recommend a small change - to the Non Democratic Party. Or the National Dictatorial Party. No Damn Plan?

New Dhimmi Party

or maybe COMMIES ARE US

Vote YSP, the Yellow Sponge Party.

And if they were to become the Yellow Sponge Party the NDP might gain a member by convincing Scott Brison to cross over.

I'm afraid I don't understand the point of this comment.

The point of my original comment (in response to Kate's blog post) was that I thought she was representing as current some stale polling data.

How is my original point affected by Randy Jackson's decision to repeat Kate's mistake (as I saw it) on October 27?

Help me out here.

Surely the MSM is not being offered as some kind of standard of conduct to which bloggers should uncritically adhere?!

IAppeasement Dreamers Cooperative

Oh, and by the way...

While we're re-branding parties...

I think the Sask Party is wise to adopt Brad Wall's strategy of changing party names to pretend that they had nothing to do with Grant Devine and his crew of kickback criminals.

After all, who wants to be reminded of Wall's roots in the Devine PC party?

Far better instead that black cats should be able to dye their coats white than that the mice know what's what.

Randy Jackson noted in his column that that poll was the latest/last poll that he had seen. So, if Randy Jackson erred, and Kate erred, as you claim, then a letter to the editor with proof of your claim that there has been polls done since then would prove your claim.

Judging by emotional outbursts and delicate feelings forming important National policy, the handle could reflect an artistic sense.

National Dipstick Party.

For a Conservative majority = TG

(bring on) the "new depression party"

So the Party can keep using their existing stationary and the Comrade Members can keep wearing the same cufflinks, I propose a new name with the same initials:

No Democratic Propensities

D-P (Dead-period) That would also align with there brains.What little there is.Just think of them chanting D-p...D-P...D-p...in there pants.But Taliban Jack must involved as he is chief poo.. ba..baa.

I propose the LRU party - Leeches R Us.

No Damn Practicality.

Or,

National Dickweed Party

Or possibly,

Numbskulls Desperately Preening.

Abandoning the three letter acronym, we have

IIAPAKB - Idiotic Ideology Advanced by People Who Should Know Better.

Ok, let's review.

In mid-October, Kate drew attention to months-old polling data under this headline:

Yowza;

Support for the Saskatchewan Party has rebounded, and it now holds a 29-point lead over the governing NDP, who have seen their support drop sharply.

Having followed up on her links, I pointed out that the data were stale, and further claimed that they could not be relied upon to tell us anything about relative preferences in Kate's 'now' (i.e. in mid-October).

I don't believe I did claim, as you assert, 'that there has [sic] been polls done since then that would prove [my] claim.'

In fact, such a claim would be nonsensical, since it would not take a later poll (say, one done in September) to prove a summer poll was out of date by mid-October: the barest familiarity with modern polling would be enough to prove that.

If I, in fact, made such a nonsensical claim, I would be happy to retract it.

In the meantime, I will maintain that I don't think I ever claimed Randy Jackson and Kate erred in the way that you say.

Stephen,
Who gives a crap about a poll you and toontown kid should stick to the topic.

whilst living in the niagara region (very trendy at the time) t'was when the rae days goofiness beset us.

the region put a couple of them in including a rookie.

I was on a project for an organization that arranged training for new entrants in the employment market.

the director had the sad experience of dealing with said ndp rookie.

she likened the woman as putting on immense airs and pure prima donna royalty material. she had to be the centre of attention in the room and sponged up all the attention from the political groupie entourage.

no idea where the one hit wonder rookie is now.

it cemented my view that new democraps are the most hypocritical of the bunch.

SSSP same shit same pile

or how about SSDP same shit different pile

Hahaha!! I've never laughed so hard in my life.

Social Democratic Party?

Isn't SDP a bit too close to NSDAP?

Just saying is all..

How about simply:

"Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition?"

Ironic sidenote:

To Stephen a four month old poll is "stale", but "cat and mice" references are witty and relevant political discourse. Puleeze.

Yes, it's true.

Polls are 'snapshots' of public opinion: their shelf life is very, very short.

Ask any pollster.

Parables, on the other hand, speak to human nature and basic societal structures: they remain relevant even over hundreds of years.

Ask Jesus.

Dark Blue,

Thank god Halloween's past. Your NSDAP comment gave me the heebie jeebies.

I get the feeling that Calvert's converts are looking for a grand shot of historic legitimacy. Maybe they'd like a tried and true political abbreviation like GOP with an environmental slant - Grey Owls' Party.

The "No Democracy Party" should be renamed with the new acronym to "Saskatchewan's Demise Party".

Or (with apologies to Kate):

Small Dead Party

To quote the final sentance in one of the most vile documents ever written in Canada and still proudly linked to in the NDP's website

"No C.C.F. Government will rest content until it has eradicated capitalism and put into operation the full programme of socialized planning which will lead to the establishment in Canada of the Co-operative Commonwealth."

The new party should be named the NRC party - Now Resting Contented

Picture this: You have a stage with one person (the ventriliquist)- Brad Wally and a dummy (the dummy errr...I mean) Lorne Calvert. The audience is the people of Saskatchewan. Lorne is sitting on Brad's knee. Now in a normal such performance the dummy speaks at the same time as the ventriliquist but strangely in this scene, the dummy is on a three second delay. The other oddity is that whenever Brad mentions the Saskatchewan Party will do this or that - the dummy, for some unexplanable reason, substitutes it with "NDP".

The crowds roars with laughter. They can't believe what they are hearing. Brad says something like "the Sask Party will end manditory retirement. The dummy, three seconds - oh, sorry, in this case three hours later says the same thing except he says it about the NDP. The show is one continuous guffaw after another.

OK. Not true, but that is what it seems like to me. The NDP has just about run out of reasons to hold any more "policy" conventions. All they have to do is continue to copy the Sask Party agenda. It seems the only reason they now need a convention is to choose a new name for their flagging party. After the next election they will need a convention to choose a new leader who will instantly become the "Leader of the Opposition".

Never Deserve Power

Or as the BC Liberals themselves called the NDP in the last provincial election,

Negative. Destructive. Pessimistic.

I suppose that after so many years of indoctrination by the unions, the MSM and a public that is willing to accept the status quo it is the:

It will never change as long as people BELIEVE that there really is a free lunch and that the NDP'S philosophy is rooted in sound economic principles.

Stephen, you are so biased on your political opinions. Read up on the Douglas government; corruption ran wild. Tommy was sued for $100,000 for LYING about another politician and he LOST. Tommy Douglas, certified a liar by his own provincial court. He later settled the matter out of court for $5000.00, legal expenses and an apology for lying. Look it up.

Here's a stat for the blogosphere to immediately get on top of and deal with as expediently as possible.

An April 06 CP report (Vancouver Sun) revealed that internet child porn increases by 20,000 sites PER MONTH and represents a $2.6 billion industry. This would qualify as the 'first terrorism' to be dealt with and eradicated before any other gov't agenda goes forward. Keeping the issue front and centre along with supporting policing depts suffering burn out and tied up in red tape is the problem.

How will the blogosphere contribute and what are the IPs role? Thoughts anyone? Canada's in trouble folks on this one and it actually relegates every other discussion, initiative, issues to the trash can. We need results here and we need them yesterday.

How about the Sasquatch Party?

How about "Fundamentally Unstable Socialist Anti-Success Knuckleheads" or F U Sask. That Way Minister Klein could work Saskatchewan into the name and quit whining.

What an annoying peice of politics. I know politicians latch on to anything that can further their party, but this one just seems a little bit... trivial, especially considering the sask party changed their name at one time aswell. I mean, isn't this just kind of childish? Pretty-well Corrupt worked well for the PC party. But then if I were to have said that, I would be called childish. Oh how people attach themselves to their little peice of identity... All or nothing, all or nothing.
