My long dead father, survivor of the Great Depression, had one favorite phrase. "Tory times, are tough times."
Repeating it about once a month in all sorts of conversational twists, it became the solid capstone of his formidable debating skills. Such a phrase hangs with some truth. Canadian Finance Minister, Jim Flaherty, proved that this week when he grimly stated that next year the federal government will post a $50 Billion dollar deficit.
Laminated on this Conservative announcement lies the foundation of political policy, which is that only they, not the tax and spend Liberals, are best suited to run the country. The problem lies again not in the honest intention of Conservatives but in their genetic inability to improvise, emphathize, and innovate.
Human species divide inherently into two basic and equal divisions one with a Conservative in attitude and the other Liberal. Yet a lot of the higher thinking species also divide into those same two divisions. Sound purpose clasps this natural observation and its all based on hard wired genetics. These species also have the same divisions. Understanding this one can see how this serves the entire species.
The cowardly conservatives maintain those natural activities that work. They maintain the position on the escalator of genetic progress. Liberal thinking beasts explore and improvise to allow the species to expand into new areas of environment and adaptations. Flaherty while trumpeting the Conservative values, champions this philosophical view by proving it.
In both the USA and Canada and Britain Liberals in power lead a breathing, dynamic self sustaining economy. The Conservatives constantly post high deficits and economic declines. Yet, the business community and military community insists on supporting Conservative governments.
Stephen Harper Conservatives fully aware of their failings decided to launch a serious media campaign bent on discrediting Michael Ignatief. This campaign of hate advertising is meant to discredit Ignatief. The secondary goal of the ads aims at deflecting the attention of voters away from the patently obvious. Conservatives employ ineffective economic policies.
Conservatives don't know anything about business economics. Liberals do.

Let's see. Conservatives cling to the same old, stupid catch phrases while doing the exact opposite of what they preach, while they're preaching it?
Ain't nuthin' new there, Gord! You forgot to mention a certain percentage of voters aren't too bright and fall for the same lies every few years, over and over and over again - for a century or so, anyway.
Still, you gotta kick the Liberals out of power every now and then or they'd steal everything in sight, man!
By the way, that moron Flaherty? He said the deficit would be more than fifty billion dollars. 'More than' is a close relative of 'up to'.
You know how Bell and Shaw and Rogers say they're selling us 'up to' 5 Mbps or 'up to' 7.5 Mbps (what's the difference, really?) and deliver 1 Mbps and they're still telling the truth... supposedly... according to the politicians they bought, anyway?
Beware the phrase 'more than' when it comes out of that particular moron's lying mouth!
