Vote swapping liberals and greens want to swap votes in close ridings to “strategically” vote. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canadavotes/story/2008/09/12/facebook-vote-swap.html
Time to enlist your ranks SDA and get your democracy loving Conservatives to sign up for this facebook group and promise “wink” to vote green or liberal for some silly bastard that thinks this will work.
No sense in wasting Elections Canada’s time and money on shutting this ‘vote swap” crap.
Feminist Army Aims Its Canons at Palin
Because womanhood is a state of mind.
By Jonah Goldberg
Whether or not Sarah Palin helps John McCain win the election, her greatest work may already be behind her. She’s exposed the feminist con job.
Don’t take my word for it. Feminists have been screaming like stuck pigs 24/7 since Palin was announced as McCain’s running mate. (Are pig metaphors completely verboten now?)
Feminist author Cintra Wilson writes in Salon (a house organ of the angry left) that the notion of Palin as vice president is “akin to ideological brain rape.” Presumably just before the nurse upped the dosage on her medication, Wilson continued, “Sarah Palin and her virtual burqa have me and my friends retching into our handbags. She’s such a power-mad, backwater beauty-pageant casualty, it’s easy to write her off and make fun of her. But in reality I feel as horrified as a ghetto Jew watching the rise of National Socialism.”
And that’s one of the nicer things she had to say. Really.

HARPER WEATHERS STORM OF SANDWICHGATE
OTTAWA – (CP) Prime Minister Harper endured a third day of criticism over claims that he intended to eat a sandwich last week. “The Bush-style rhetoric and uninclusive gastronomic choices are reminiscent of Nazi Germany” said NDP leader Jack Layton.
York University political scientist Millicent Hyphenated-Lastname speculated that the prime minister could face sanctions under international law. “Canada is a signatory to several treaties on this matter. He could be put on trial in the Hague.”
Members of the Blogging Tory blogroll were unsparing in their criticism. “What kind of idiot tells the media he’s going to eat a sandwich?” asked prominent blogger Kate McMillan. “As XYZ in the comments points out, he didn’t even release this information in braille”. Damian Penny of the blog Damnaition expressed “shock and outrage” for a third consecutive day.
Tory director of communications Kory Tenycke issued a terse email to the media: “You’re not serious. You’re still on about the sandwich bit? Yo, Kafka called, wants his schtick back”
Polls released by Ekos and Harris/Ekos showed that Conservative support in the wake of Sandwichgate has increased to historically high levels.
“In Quebec, when you hate someone, you really hate them.”
“”People don’t think he’s honest. They don’t like the guy,”
Who is hated? >>>> Ad$Cam Liberal Citoyen Dion.
Who is seen as dishonest? >>>> Ad$Cam Liberal Citoyen Dion.
“When Leger Marketing asked Quebecers a week before the election call to choose the most honest of the four main party leaders, Mr. Dion came fourth.”

“His time as “national unity” minister under Jean Chretien and the Clarity Act he championed had left too bitter a taste in Quebecers’ mouths, they warned.”

Lizzy May says she has no deals with the Dion Liberals beyond them not running a Liberal candidate against her in Central Nova.
Key here is she may not have any deals now, that doesn’t mean there won’t be any when the chips are down and extreme desperation sets in.
We already know she thinks Canadians are stupid so she probably thinks we won’t notice.
Since Lizzy is studying to become a woman of the cloth, an Anglican Priest, she surely wouldn’t tell a lie now would she?

“Website error on gun policy leaves Green leader feeling blue”
“May was shocked. She insisted the Greens also want to ban them everywhere. And then she checked the website.”
“The Vision Green document was revised for by-elections that were never called because the Oct. 14 election was triggered.
It had been on the website for at least several days.
At least one shadow minister, Michael Oddy, was convinced the partial ban was indeed party policy.”

“McCain’s Web Explosion
By Jacob Weisberg
CHARLESTON, S.C.—In the first “Net Election” column back in September, I made the prediction that the Internet probably would not have a decisive impact on the 2000 presidential race. The best shot at proving me wrong now belongs to John McCain. If McCain survives South Carolina and goes on to defeat George W. Bush for the Republican nomination—still a very big if—the Internet may eventually be judged not just a contributing factor, but an essential, enabling condition of his victory.
Six months ago, no one would have pegged McCain as the most cybersavvy of this year’s crop of candidates. At 63, he is the oldest of the bunch and because of his war injuries, he is limited in his ability to wield a keyboard. But”

I think it is very astute of the Liberal Party to elect a guy who is disliked in his own province, and foreign to the rest of the country.
Reminds me of their governance.

I think David Warren is missing the point. Harper realizes he has to win the war, not individual battles.
Why can’t Conservatives understand that?
Harper has stated change will be incremental. When your base is around a third of the population, how can you argue with that argument?
“According to the search warrant, Mr. Brault told RCMP investigators that his main link with the Liberal Party was Mr. Corriveau, a friend of then-prime-minister Jean Chrétien, and an influential party organizer. The warrant said Mr. Brault pointed out that Mr. Corriveau had a number of contacts in government, and that Groupaction made payments of $495,000 to Mr. Corriveau’s firm from 1996 to 2000.
“Jacques Corriveau informed Jean Brault that he could intervene directly with the Prime Minister’s Office. Corriveau also said he could intervene with and obtain information from [then-bureaucrat] Charles Guité on the status of sponsorship requests,” the search warrant said. The document says Mr. Brault added that he first met Mr. Corriveau at a restaurant in Montreal along with two other Liberal supporters, former organizer Alain Renaud and current Liberal MP Denis Coderre.
Mr. Corriveau frequently asked for money on behalf of the Liberal Party, according to Mr. Brault, the document said.
“Corriveau told him: ‘It doesn’t go in my pockets, it goes to our cause,’” the document said. Mr. Brault told the RCMP that in order to get the money, Mr. Corriveau submitted “fake invoices … for services not rendered.”
The search warrant also says there were extensive dealings over the years between Groupaction and Groupe Polygone, a company that received $30-million under the sponsorship program. According to the search warrant, $6.7-million of those funds were given in subcontracts to Mr. Corriveau’s firm. Mr. Corriveau’s house was raided last year by the RCMP’s proceeds-of-crime unit, while Groupe Polygone’s offices were raided in June, 2005, on the same day that owner Luc Lemay was arrested and released.
Apparently, trials have been scheduled for Sept. 2008.
Fortuitous, eh wot?
(Via SWJ) Tim Rutten, An Afghan ‘October surprise’?
Friday, The Times’ Greg Miller and Julian E. Barnes reported that the United States has escalated its war against Al Qaeda and its Taliban allies by “deploying Predator aircraft equipped with sophisticated new surveillance systems that were instrumental in crippling the insurgency in Iraq.”
It’s a story whose significance may extend well beyond the benighted hills and valleys of Pakistan’s violent Pashtun hinterlands and onto the hustings of our current presidential campaign. Coupled with Thursday’s report in the New York Times that President Bush has signed a secret order permitting Afghanistan-based U.S. special operations forces to cross into Pakistan without Islamabad’s permission, the odds of an “October surprise” that could influence the general election have risen appreciably…
I notice the name Hezzy Coderre comes up in the G&M article mentioned above….great timing….i am sure the Conservative war room will take notice!

Here is a Sarah:
“Sarah, Abraham’s Wife – A Quote
“I am a young lady who is so thankful that her parents took the time and made the many sacrifices to homeschool her from the time … well, from the time she was born. I have a burden for reaching the young ladies of today, communicating the beauty and greatness of biblical womanhood and godly girlhood, discovering, studying, and sharing the secrets of how to become a woman of the Most High God. I am a sinner saved by God’s grace, and my prayer is that my Lord will perfect the work He has begun in me until the day of Christ (Philippians 1:6). Currently, I am living at home, helping to keep our household running at least fairly smoothly. : ) I have a 10-month-old baby sister who has Down syndrome and other health complications, so things are extremely busy and … well, complicated! This explains any drought in posts you may observe. I am engaged to be married in May to a wonderful young man from Alaska (quite a distance from my southeastern home!), and look forward to what the Lord has in store for us. To God be the glory, and thank you for reading my blog.”

From the bloke who coined the phrase “Bush Doctrine,” and presumably knows what it means:
(Via Contentions) Charles Krauthammer, Charlie Gibson’s Gaffe
The New York Times got it wrong. And Charlie Gibson got it wrong.
There is no single meaning of the Bush doctrine. In fact, there have been four distinct meanings, each one succeeding another over the eight years of this administration — and the one Charlie Gibson cited is not the one in common usage today. It is utterly different…
charles macdonald – thanks for the link to Krauthammer’s column. He’s right and as he says, Gibson’s interview with Sarah Palin “captured perfectly the establishment snobbery and intellectual condescension that has characterized the chattering classes’ reaction to the mother of five who presumes to play on their stage”.
The Democrat/Liberal political structure is a two-class structure. The elite class governs and rules the lower class – and no member of that lower class has any right to consider they have the right to govern.
Contrast that with McCain’s insistence that the power to rule rests with the people. The ordinary people – not that elite professional class of the Democrats/Liberals.
ET, I thoroughly enjoyed having the Washington Post sniping at the NYT and ABC. Let’s hope the whole MSM pro-Obama conspiracy collapses in an orgy of recriminations and internecine warfare among the media dinosaurs.

Wow! This is what journalism looks like. This is the best explanation of Harper’s views on policy and governance in months. NP interviews Harper:
http://www.nationalpost.com/todays_paper/story.html?id=787999
BTW, you will see that my standards are not high. Feel free to draw your own conclusions about that “best in months” comment.
This is a quote from the document for which RW posted a link (thanks for posting) — very enlightening.
“Was there a medieval warm period? Yes. Was that period warmer worldwide than the present? Yes.
Are today’s global temperatures exceptional? No. Have the past ten thousand years been generally
warmer than the present? Yes: much warmer. Is there, therefore, the slightest reason for the childish panic that the environmental extremist movement and its servant the IPCC have attempted to whip up?
No. Should any government devote a single further penny to the climate scare? No. Even if humankind
is contributing significantly to warmer weather (which is highly unlikely), adaptation to warmer
weather as and if necessary would be orders of magnitude cheaper than the measures to reduce carbon
emissions that the world’s extremist politicians are now so eagerly but purposelessly advocating.”
