Conservatives and stupidity

       Someone once said that " it is not true that all conservatives are stupid, What is true is most of those who are conservatives are stupid ". The campaign in both Canada and U.S.A by the Ref/Cons and the Republicans have revealed the depth of that styupidity.

      Here in Canada, we have had the " poop ", then the Agriculture Minister and " cold cuts " and wishing for the death of his Liberal critic, followed by the reference to drunken "natives " and now Julie's book on the buffoon Bernier and revealations that even when her $ 1000 cheque bounced, the Ref/ Cons still wanted her as a candidate for their party. Is it any wonder that Harper has put a muzzle on all his candidates and that he appears so listless in the debates? He looks more like a wax doll. This is not helped by his droll statemants nor by the fact that he is afraid to publish his platform. Now his statement that most Canadians are conservatives (it is that stupid factor ), can be understood. Canadians are not stupid or even ignorant. They are aware of the issues of the economy, the environment, the war in Afghanistan and his social agenda.

      With a week to go, you can begin to see the drip, drip of collapsing support. They will not form a majority govt. As a matter of fact they will not even win as many seats as in the last election. Their Quebec gamble has failed, and even in Ontario and B.C. , they are losing supoport.

       The attack on Obama will get dirtier. The Republicans are desperate. Palin has been a disaster except among the diehards, who are not noted for their grasp of reality. The stupid factor is even more apparent here. Folksiness and joe six- pack, rule the roost with them . Spying Russia from a small hamlet in Alaska, which Palin has not even visited and having breakfast at the International House of Pancakes, or meeting Karzai ( who controls a few streets in Kabul ) or Talabani, the token symbol of unity in Iraq ( not eeraq ) or Uribe ( whose party members are implicated in the drug cartels, or visitig Kissinger, who prolonged the war in Vietnam ,so Nixon could win the 1972 election or Mr. 10% Zardari ( the gusher whom she captivated with her leering smile ), or setting foot in the U.N. does not constitute foreign policy expertise, except amongst the stupids.

      McCAIN IS DESPERATE. He has given up in Michigan, is losing in Ohio and is trailing in Pennsylvannia and Florida and is being outspent in the toss-up states of N. Carolina. New Mexico, Nevada etc. Expect the attacks to be more vicious....questioning Obama's patriotism, attacks on his relationships real or imagined and of course the race issue . The gloves are off and " Bully " McCain and " Barracuda Palin " are going for broke.
