God bless the Albertans. The next big purge has begun…
The surging Wildrose Alliance party would form the next provincial government in Alberta if an election were held tomorrow, according to a new poll of decided voters that gives the right-of-centre party a double-digit lead in popular support over the long-ruling Tories.
The Wildrose Alliance leads in all areas of the province. Their stronghold is Southern Alberta (outside of Calgary) where they twice the support of the PCs (46% to 23%). In Calgary, the Liberals are in second place (30%) and the PCs are ranked third (23%) as their support flows to both the Liberals and Wildrose Alliance (38%). The Wildrose Alliance is ahead in Edmonton (36%) and Northern Alberta (39%) as well.
Again , with respect i will stand by my scriptural beleifs and align myself with the party that best represent’s my and my childrens best intres’s and for someone who can reason in there head that abortion is good right and just and at the very least o.k. …as well someone who would stand by and support gay marrige and parades goes against my moral beleif’s ….Harper did it and i was very angry …..But i also can understand why he did it like i said before his hands are tied ….
I know very well there are probly several gay right’s ,pro abortionist’s in the conservative parry but they are not leading the party , so i draw the line there …and personaly i think alot of people will as soon as this fact is put out there by the cons you will see the wild rose lose it’s momentum …that is not to say that they can’t or won’t win but you will see us bible thumpers align ourselves with the party that best aligns itself with scripture …I have been wanting to vote for the C.H.P. but it is a wasted vote they will not get anywhere ….
Again i really like the WRA party platform and juts about everything in it …however i do not want someone who has a complteley different set of morals than i do representing me and /or speaking for me ..and alot of christians feel that way ..if you don’t mind me asking you what denomination are you knacker ?
do you attend every sunday ? where do you stand on abortion ,gay right’s , and all of the anti church /family stuff ….just to make a quick point anyone who is pro gay right’s ,and pro choice …IS anti family and anti church by default i don’t need to explain do i?

I’m Christian Paul. I do not agree with denominations I just go to a church that my family feels comfortable with. That includes a church that is welcoming and also teaches the bible the way it was written. I have grown up in very ultra charismatic/cult-ish churches and I can honestly say I have grown very wise to the destruction of the church by Christians. I am not anti-church but I certainly understand why some are, and they have every right to be critical by the way a lot of Christians act. Do I attend every Sunday? no. I attend on a regular basis and I offer some of my musical talents.
I do not agree with abortion and I do not agree with homosexuality, that being said I do not get the right to bash gays and condemn those who have abortions, nor does it give you the right. As a family man I can assure you I am not anti-family. I find it humorous that I am even explaining this but you did ask.
Listen, I am a firm believer in the separation of church and state. Can a Christian be a politician? sure but I do not believe it is the church that should be the podium for a political party. My pastor said it was alright to sell memberships in the church, but I agreed with him that the microphone was off limits. You see I asked first, it is a sign of my respect to the church.
I would like to know what you would do if the PC’s stay in but a non-Christian was given leadership of the party? Would you just not vote?, or would you then find a better option?
You see, rather than waiting for something to happen I decided to be proactive and make the steps. The PC party is old and tired. Their arrogance is well in the forefront. I do not mix well with arrogance. It is something I do not tolerate from anybody, Christian or not.
I am not going to speak further on this matter because I feel it is irrelevant, but I am open to discussing further on why the WAP has risen to the popularity they have and on policy issues.

Here is an article Danielle wrote for the City Light news.
If someone knows HTML and can shorten that link, I would be grateful. Thanks.
you make a good point knacker but i am at work right now i will respond later!!
Dear Paul
Your an idiot, a stark raving loony moron. Please learn how our electoral system works. It’s called Social Studies 10.
Provincial Party is not the same as Federal Party.
Provincial Seats is not the same as Federal Seats.
Wildrose Alliance is a provincial registered party
-People vote for them in provincial elections
Conservative Party of Canada is a federal party.
-People vote for them in federal elections.
Paul = Dumbass, get it?
Not to sound as harsh,
-MP(Member of Parliament)-Federal
-MLA(Member of the Legislative Assembly)-Provincial
Ridings have MP’s and constituencies have MLA’s, they do not affect each other. Everyone in each province has one for both representing them.
“Higher education is linked to voting for the Liberals. In fact, people with university degrees are one of the few segments in which the Liberals are ahead (38% to 30% for the Wildrose Alliance).”
It doesn’t surprise me, but then the social views indoctrinated by students at most universities is old hat. I would be curious to know the age group percentages of the higher educated people in this poll and also to see how they answered.
Well thank you for the insult .
Truth be told if you looked over the whole post you would see that i actually asked about that ,because i was unsure thank you again for being so rude for nothing .
I alway’s thought your provincial govornment was directly related to the number of seat’s in the house and the more seat’s you had the majority would form the federal govornment …guess i was wrong .
thank you knacker i appreaciate your kindness, I am not extreme and i do not judge and if i gave you that impression i am sorry .”hate the sin not the sinner” that is how i feel. i tolorate i do not accept .

I came to the conclusion a number of years ago that the world is divided into leaders and followers. The trick is having an effective instrument for making the leaders accountable to those motivated enough to want change. Grass roots movements are the bane of the entrenched forces who want to maintain their status within the ruling minority. Some of us who have supported the WRP from inception think it is the provincial child of the Reform Party. If Preston had not gone East as he thought he had to, where would we be today? Many of us thought that a federal Reform Party with provincial affiliates would have achieved the change we wanted.
