Ego ... I agree ... although good discussions, debate and sharing of ideas are a crucial part of the political process. However ... that being said, maybe you missed this part of the post:
| quote: | If any of this text confuses you, I highly encourage you to do some research of your own as everyone who votes should be responsible and inform themselves of all the issues before voting!
REMEMBER: You should not be voting for the party that promises you the most ... instead, you should be voting for the party that you think will be able to deliver the most and adjust best to the uncertainties of the future while never losing focus of the values you hold as important. After doing much research, to me, the choice is clear! But again, please take the time to inform yourself on as many issues as posible before deciding on how to vote!

Fir3 .. I wasn't refering to you in reading .. I was refering to the 2 people who posted within 3-4 minutes of the post!
Speaking of garbage though:
Who ever said Conservatives aren't Canadian? All I said is that they don't represent the most socialized leftist views which over 2/3rds of Canadians value.
Canadian conservatives couldn't be US Republicans if they tried ... although both are right-wing conservative ideology based parties. But I don't know anyone who thinks the two are the same?
I'm personally very pro-American and agree they shuold be viewed as our friends to the south. I think it was a mistake when Martin didn't forewarn the Americans that we were pulling out of missle defence ... but that does not mean that I'm going to support a right wing government. I'd rather have a government that makes a few mistakes but runs the country based on my ideologies than a faultless government that doesn't share my concerns for the environment, the economy, education, Medicare and other institutions that Canadians like to see run in a more center-left manner!
That being said .. even you'll have to agree ... anyone who expects a government to be 100% faultless is delutional .. lol
Do you actually think people are not voting for the conservatives because they are affraid of getting annexed by the States? lol .. seriously bud .. it's all about the fact Canadians are proud of our more sociallised stance towards Medicare and education who aren't ignorant enough to believe that tax cuts is the solution to everything?!
You don't think conservatives will kill Canadian values? I doubt it will ever come to that ... but conservative/right-wing ideology is based on tax cuts and the dis-empowerment of federal institutions. It's nice to cut taxes, but most Canadians don't think cutting taxes is more important than maintaining funding to education and Medicare and environmental programs and the hundreds of other things the government runs/maintains. I'll admit the Liberals never came close to perfection on any of these issues (mostly because of the massive debt the Mulrouny conservative government left us with), but a right wing party by its very definition and ideology would minimalize such institutions as much as posible!
Note that I'm not saying they would get rid of such things ... but to me, just moving in a more right-wing direction is not what I value personally!
Again though ... it's definately a choice. Different people have different values!
