The right need their shots

First it was Rush Limbaugh who declared that he hopes that Obama fails as President in the US.  Now Dick Morris, a conservative mouthpiece with less brain than hair, has declared that democrats are trying to steal the last election and that the Republican National Lawyers Association needs money to fight the ungodly.  With Fox News seeking sleaze in what ever form they can dig up and, in Canada, right wing loonies fabricating allegations if none can be substantiated, it is time for the rabid right to take a pill.

Obama is the anti-Christ, says one loonie.  Ignatieff is really a foreigner in disguise states another.

Let's get some facts straight, shall we?

First, the past 10 years has shown us the the Liberal Party is the party of restraint and fiscal responsibility.  The Cons/Reformers/CA are the party of spend and spend some more.  The best thing that happened to Harper and Flaherty was this recession.  It hides the fact that Canada would have had a $17 billion deficit in January due to the Cons fiscal mismanagement.

While we are at it let's talk about John Tory, the Con leader in Ontario, who is finally getting a crack at being elected to the provincial parliament.  Between he and Howie Hampton, the also ran from the Ont NDP, it is politics as usual.  If McGuinty says good morning at 9AM, Tory responds with," Wrong.  It's afternoon."  Tory defines what Charlie Farquarson used to call the "Opposite Position"!
