Subliminal Depression

This is the photo of Dear Leader and his supporters that is currently featured on the liberal.ca main page.

They don’t have a mole in the Liberal Party.
They have a saboteur.
Maz2 notices something in the comments – the Liberal website has nothing listed as scheduled after after Jan 13th..
Not even a Towel Throwing Event.
Update
That didn’t take long. The photo’s been replaced. Now Martin just looks…. depressed and alone. Maybe they left after learning they can’t keep the t-shirts.

  1. Has Paul Martin said a single sentence in the past 6 weeks that didn’t contain the phrase “the fact is” and a reference to the Boogeyman, Stephen Harper?
    When the Liberals don’t even bother to convince you that they’ve done a good job and deserve a chance to continue, you know they’re dead men walking.
    I think I’m in bizarroworld…. aboriginals supporting the Conservatives? The friggin’ Globe & Mail telling Canadians it’s time to boot the Liberals?
    Near as I can tell, the only identifiable group supporting the Liberals are prison inmates.
    I never dreamed this election would go so well.

  2. A must read — Mike Duffy say’s read Chantel Herbert article Fri.13th.- Toronto Star. It is true she decimates Martin & basically say’s he is more scarier than Harper will ever be, say’s he is on a witch Hunt. I think she is endorsing Harper. Mike Duffy is right on the article is great.

  3. Remember this photo was taken at a rally today in Montreal. Maybe someone just announced there’s a run on steamies.

    ROFLAneurysm!
    Pity that they took the picture off their website though. Glad it’s immortalized here though. Of course John Duffy would claim it’s photoshopped. Or that the website picture was never actually released because they only put it on their website.
    I seriously think the round of sour look is simply the reality of the impending bankruptcy of the LPC setting in. It continually surprises me that they manage to splash so much red around in their communications. You’d think they’d be out of red ink after doing their books.

    Nice analogy: My own chickens are not laying too well – I’ve been thinking of the soup pot. Only difficulty is that the children have grown attached to them. But I have hopes – they pay for the feed.

    Nope. It’s not the JTF lads. My neighbours have more class (I am ~30 min stroll from their base).

  6. gwgm: “Has Paul Martin said a single sentence in the past 6 weeks that didn’t contain the phrase “the fact is” and a reference to the Boogeyman, Stephen Harper?”
    Prospero: “Some suggestion or marker that “here’s how it looks to me/I acknowledge that it looks differently to others/while accepting that I must nevertheless stand in the place of meaning, avow the ‘how it looks to me'” is what gives one’s thinking and discourse “ostensivity.” In which case, overwhelmingly or exclusively declarative language, declaratives “unhinged” from ostensivity, represents a pathological mode of discourse and I believe that a study of propaganda would bear this out–both Nazi and Communist discourse, to take the two most notorious examples, seem to depend very heavily upon claims like “the Jew is x” or “the petit-bourgeoisie is y” that depend, for their effects, upon the sense that they float authorless in the stream of discourse–the voice of “reality” itself. Such discourses rely upon the sacrality of the martyred scientist and take revenge upon ostensivity, or the scene itself, in his name.”

  7. Kind of remind’s you of the movie DAVE — In the scene near the end, where the guy trying to win show’s eveyone abandoning him & he is left alone?

  8. 5 minutes prior to this picture…
    “Hey Boss, we just ran some numbers and even with the $1.75 per vote we brought in, we’ll still be $20 million in the hole after the election”
    or…
    5 minutes prior to this picture…
    “Hey Boss, Bourque just posted the Calgary Sun story where we gave a million dollars to our ad buddies to come up with a logo we’ve had for 29 years”
    or…
    insert your line here.

  9. 5 minutes before the picture…
    “Hey Boss, Colin just told me we ran over someone’s dog with the campaign bus.”

  10. We must also root out those in the movement that enjoy porn. Porn is a liberal invention that leads to homosexual acts, which leads to gay marriage, which leads to beastially, which leads to a man marrying his pet, which leads to a man wearing a condom while having sex with his pet, which leads to a dead baby stephen harper.

  11. Desperately Seeking Schmoozing.
    That saboteur should be sent to Coventry. Martin was/is in Montreal today. Monsieur Martin says he spends a lot of time in Montreal. He is a Montrealer, essentially. Paul, get up the stairs at the Oratory; miracles happen.
    That’s it from your saboteur for today; except for this:
    Martin sounded an urgent tone as he worked six Montreal ridings, five of which have been in Liberal hands for generations. Harper, in contrast, was smiling and upbeat in north-central Ontario, painted Liberal red by voters in three straight federal elections.
    Despite polls that suggest the Bloc holds roughly half of the vote in Quebec and that the Tories are making inroads against the Liberals, Martin insisted his presence in the city wasn’t an indication the party’s once-powerful grip there is slipping.
    “Essentially, I am a Montrealer,” Martin said. “I spend a fair amount of time in Montreal.” >>

  12. Where is the screaming headline and photo?
    Paul Bernardo and Mom Boucher say, “Trust us. Vote for Paul Martin”

  13. Actually, the saboteurs should be given a Senate appointment.
    Seriously, though, I was at the rally yesterday that Stephen Harper, Michael Wilson (Finance Minister to Mulroney), Helena Guergis and Patrick Brown were holding. I am SUPER impressed with our future Prime Minister! He was polite, composed, professional…everything you want in a leader. And when he shook my hand, guess what, it was warm! Not ice cold like the Liberals would have us believe. Pfft. Blowhards. I hope they’re bracing for a whoopin’.
    The Liberal goose is cooked, FINALLY! I’d like to see the look on Paul Martin’s face during his concession speech. That’ll be classic.

  14. I am just dying to see more faces like that on the 23rd. Just to see that smug little tosser Pettigrew go down and screeching Annie looking at her results will make my year. I see today Dithers claims Harper will tarnish our international reputation. This from the man who bashes foreign allies to his own political end.

  15. The new liberal campaign strategy:
    Canadians will feel sorry for us and vote us back in.
    LOL.. it may bring a few votes back from the NDP

  16. Wow, Pettigrew looks like his boyfriend left him with all the furnature and silverware 😉
    The Librano sandbox kidz seem to be getting early indoctrination in misappropriating public proeprty for their own use.
    WowII: the new mug shot of Dithers looks like he just soiled his Dependz eewwww!

  17. Martin & the Liberals busted, charged with corruption & crime.
    Motion of Non-Confidence.
    “That the House condemns the government for its arrogance in refusing to compromise with the opposition parties over the timing of the next general election and for its `culture of entitlement,’ corruption, scandal, and gross abuse of public funds for political purposes and, consequently, the government no longer has the confidence of the House.’ Stephen Harper

  18. Pettigrew is constipated, too much lead in his Grecian Formula.
    Hey Pierre- two minutes for looking so sad.!!!

  19. I looked back and just as I was diving off the springboard— There was no one there. Deejay

  20. Hey, Maz2 Thanks for posting the motion.
    As a political junkie, I was watching Harper, it was truely wonderful. To hear those words said in the House of Commons it was BEAUTIFUL….

  21. Kate: You probably saw the comment in the Western Standard regarding your favourite UN-related Canadian (Mo) and the article by Peter Foster of the Financial Post entitled “Martin’s Secret Agents Agenda” http://tinyurl.com/bf57d

  22. Two quickies:
    1 – That looks like a “shit we need to announcement this since it was scheduled” appearence.
    2 – No party has where the leader is and the events listed beyond the day in question. It isn’t just the Liberals that aren’t telling where they are going to be.

  23. Two quickies:
    1 – That looks like a “damn we need to announcement this since it was scheduled” appearence.
    2 – No party has where the leader is and the events listed beyond the day in question. It isn’t just the Liberals that aren’t telling where they are going to be.

  24. This was a rally to promote youth work overseas. And it’s just dawning that Canada is a foreign country to them, that they are outsiders in their own land, that the Ottawa life is a sultry deceiver.

  25. Artemis either lives in Shawinigan Falls, or just up the street from 24 Sussex Drive- I’ll bet money there are more JTF2s at either of those places, than anywhere near Iraq. (SNC Lavelin has not finished installing the hot tubs for them in Iraq-yet)

  26. The Liberals are down, but not out yet.
    Keep pressing.
    http://www.theinfozone.net
    Also featured the sad Liberals with links to SDA.
    They have stories from all over Canada which show the big MO is shifting from the Liberals.
    The big bounce John Duffy was talking about was from off his chair down onto the floor.
    Tired.
    Tired.

  27. “A MUST READ — Mike Duffy said it on his show fri nite. He had Rona”
    The lucky bastard. Oh, wait… or did you mean he had Rona for dinner?
    Heh-heh… 🙂
    I’m so bad!
    Sorry, Kate. Couldn’t resist! //>silliness_off//>
    //>back_to_serious

  28. “The Liberals are down, but not out yet.”
    I agree, it ain’t over until the fat lady sings.

  29. Fact YOU, Mister Martin!
    Paul Martin says �in fact� approximately three to four kajillion times per day. It�s a fact! Just why it is that he thinks he needs to set us stupid Canoooks straight and explain the facts to us all the time is a mystery to me. But he thinks he does. So anyway….
    We invented a new game! The name of the new game (shipped-in by Canada Steamship Lines from factories in Bermuda!) is:
    �Fact YOU!�
    Click to watch! Watch the Promotional Video!
    Here�s how you play:
    1. Assemble anywhere from one to roughly 330 MILLION players. Can be Canadian or American. Since Americans are �morons� (�Liberal Party of Canada), they must double-up and help each other out.
    2. Turn on Canadian TV or radio (no other country knows there�s an election here). Stations can include any of the state-run media or any of the other liberalvision stations that have been approved by the state-censor.
    3. Immediately upon hearing the benevolent leader utter the words �in fact�, shout out
    �Fact YOU!�.
    The first person to yell it out wins a point.
    Suggestions: have a calculator handy�there�ll be so many instances of it happening that you�ll need something to help you along. Don�t forget….. you�re STUPID! You can�t do�or figure out�anything on your own, silly!
    Also, in the event of a tie, the female or minority among you wins. If you�re a socialist (most liberals and all NDP players), then nobody wins, you all lose equally, and that will make you happy.
    We�re also working on another version of the game for those sexy Sunday nights of wife-swapping, group sex, and watching-other-people-have-sex parties at the local bar, which liberals have officially made a new �Canadian value�. It�s tentatively called: �Anyone Wanna Fact Me?�

  30. Heard that about Paulie claiming he could still stay on as leader. Sure, but only ’till the members pick another “winner” out of their collective nostrils. Then Paulie’s outside the pub on his drunken ass.
    That’s how it works in the mob, folks.

  31. If only the mob would just leave you alone a drunken ass. It’s more likely they will keep him in the family and get him that Liberian appointment: ambassador to the first elected female president in Africa. Progressive; the fact is he couldn’t say no.

  32. 5 minutes earlier…….
    G. Dubya invites the entire Liberal Party down to the ranch for a post election Bar B Q…..

  33. Hey Kate,
    you know this picture of the Librano$ looks a little bit like some of the funeral scenes in the Sopranos.
    I think with a little creative ingenuity on your part, a few pairs of sunglasses and what have you, you could turn it into a Librano$ poster.
    Then at the bottom you could say,
    “THIS IS THE LIFE WE’VE CHOSEN.”

    “The new liberal campaign strategy:

    LOL.. it may bring a few votes back from the NDP”
    hehee… i was thinking the exact same thing….
    the scary thing is, you know that is exactly what is going to happen!!!
    you just know that there are going to be those bleeding heart lefties that don’t have the intestinal fortitude to pull out the tire iron and put the poor helpless wounded hit by car deer, that is the liberal party, out of its missery

  35. Mr. Martin, let me make this perfectly clear. Fact You, eh!
    ProudToBeCanadian.ca, your Fact You game is priceless, and that is a fact.

  36. Henry and others… thanks for taking on the trolls after I left. Had to play hockey this afternoon eh.
    In the sunshine
    In Canada
    There are no liberals on the hockey rink!!!

  37. [“I wonder if they are looking as if they are done or if they were just told or showen the next wave of attack ads. (which I think will be even more vicious than the worst they have already aired).”]
    Those adds backfired in more ways than one.
    How many responses to liberal BS have yu seen all over that end:
    “Here, in Canada, in our cities, we can’t make this up”

  38. [“Essentially, I am a Montrealer,” Martin said. “I spend a fair amount of time in Montreal.” “]

    We know, that’s why we don’t believe you when you say you had no knowlage of Adscam. Now you admit you spent alot of time in the centre of the crime scene? “Mr. Dithers” is just being too kind

  39. “Now it looks like he `s farting”
    Or sneezing. Maybe he has a cold. Not one of those deep in the chest colds, but a stuffed up sinus, ear blocking, head hurting cold. Like the cold of a steel rail in the middle of an Ontario winter before the train comes by. A train that carries fuel and cars and items from the Sears catalogue, destined for Mom and Pop Canada who sit by their fire, hoping against hope that this great nation will, in due time, finally free itself from the yoke of despair and disunity.
    But, taking another look, I think you’re right. He looks like he’s farting.

  40. The company I work for, which is national(no names no pack drill) has an online poll, the Tories at 47%, the Libs at 29% and the NDP at 13%.

  41. The guys and I are going to get together for a game of cards later. Instead of cards I think we might re-live some of our university days and try a new drinking game…..Not sure what to call it yet. Here are the rules….
    Everyone has a cocktail in front of them. We are going to sit in front of the computer while we pull up some of Paulie’s public speaking. Every time Paulie says “In Fact” or “The fact of the matter” everyone takes a drink. The winner is the last guy to have to run to the bathroom to relieve themself. I thought of making the winner the last one not to puke but I’m sure all of us will have to at some point after listening to Paulie for more than five minutes.
    Just me being a juvenile.
    Randy
    PS. Anyone have a name for this new game?

  42. I would love to see Stronach and Brison standing behind PMPM in this picture. I love it I love it, they deserve this.
    Maybe the Liberals for a last ditch attempt at getting votes could show an ad saying:
    “Vote Liberal…..or you’ll be sleeping with the fishes”. Maybe they can scare people into voting for them that way.

  43. Boy, that picture says it all about the mood of the LPC. Martin looks almost somber (which is an improvement on the manic frothing of foam act he shows when he is caught). In short, they looked like the guys in the Politiburo standing behind Brezhnev when he would make a speech…..about as honest about what they are about too.

  44. They’re all thinking of what they’ll all be doing
    on January 24. Maybe taking a trip to Florida.
    Saddddd. Allan. Toronto.
