and that article just shows what im saying even more. I dont care what a politician looks like or how he talks. It's all about policies and what is said.
Alan Greenspan is one of the most brilliant economists on the planet for example but to see and hear this guy speak is about as entertaining as watching astro turf grow. It doesn't matter though because he gets the job done. |

Alan Greenspan is not a leader of a federal political party. |

| my point was that you dont need to have an image to know what you are doing. If canadians are voting based on who is skinnier or whose moustache they like then no wonder we are in trouble. |

Jay,just because you don't get a "piece of cake" that most of the "big guys" are getting doesnt mean that goverment is bad or wrong :rolleyes:
politics this days are made on capitals,not yours but big corporations who spend billions on different things so you can enjoy them ,believe me its not your tax money that matters... |

if my tax money doesnt matter then why are our taxes continuously going up? I want some of it back
If you dont think theft of 100 million dollars matters when part of it came from your wallet then i feel sorry for you. |

And my point is that for one to be the leader of a national party, and to be seriously considered as potential leader of the government, one must exude the qualities of a stateman.
One must be able to paint a full and accurate picture of what one stands for, what one will not stand for... one must be able to do so confidently, under duress, amongst any group gathered... Ultimately, one must be able to ignite the spark across a large group of one's countrymen that will fuel one's victory.
My point is that Mr. Harper, for all his victories and defeats, has not made too much progress in this department. |

As do I... However, most people do not. Whether or not most people have the time to read beyond the headlines or the television news soundbites is really not the issue. Statesmanship trascends making one's position known, as I wrote.
While I do agree that it is a shame that people aren't interested, I personally feel that despite my knowledge of Stephen Harper's background I still have an issue with confidence in him as a leader... |

if you knew how many other programs that goverment spends money on ,i'd say those 100 million dollars just nothing compared to other amounts of money. |
