Even gluttony from time to time, judging by his photos. Arrogance, meanness and ideology are his prime motivators though, and that's why he is in the soup he is in.Darryl Raymakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905569596318855617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38400867.post-20921289528943396752008-12-02T22:46:00.000-08:002008-12-02T22:46:00.000-08:00Utterly, utterly delicious.

People miss it because they are too busy trying to survive to be analytical. As a result they are too trusting of cool appearances. See the movies 'Bob Roberts' and 'A Face in the Crowd' and you will see what I mean. But now I think the Canadian people are going to get Stevie boy's number big time!Darryl Raymakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905569596318855617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38400867.post-16765886660686831932008-12-02T21:05:00.000-08:002008-12-02T21:05:00.000-08:00Early on when Harper was in the opposition, my men...Early on when Harper was in the opposition, my mental impression was that he was a political punk a#s who did nothing but throw daggers. Nothing constructive. My deep gut feeling from his comments was that he was somehow dangerous, and I quietly dreaded the day he might become PM.<BR/>Looks like my fears were well-founded. I think Marta's assessment of Harper as a pathological creature is an understatement. For the life of me I cannot understand how so many people are blind to his behaviour patterns, and support him as if they were cheering for their favorite hockey team.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02932023167869175429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38400867.post-63646660374061901722008-12-01T23:37:00.000-08:002008-12-01T23:37:00.000-08:00Thanks Marta.

I believe it will because Harper tried to destroy all of them. In addition, given that he is a true right-wing zealot, the constituencies of the Bloc and NDP will not tolerate a deal with the Harperites. Certainly neither will the Grits, because they have always been Harper's major target. I agree with Chantal Hebert who tonight said, the Harper government is 100% finished either this year (this month) or next year (next month), when the House resits. Note today that Stockwell Day and one other Tory Minister did not participatein the Conservative standing ovation for Harper.Darryl Raymakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905569596318855617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38400867.post-65275256687673603212008-12-01T20:06:00.000-08:002008-12-01T20:06:00.000-08:00very well said ...as always...

"<BR/>But Harper was trying to destroy democratic government as we know it. His penalty must be so severe that he will not try it again. Make no mistake, if he is able to try it again, he will, because he is a true zealot. Therefore he should be rendered politically disabled. The Opposition does that by defeating him, forming a coalition government, and let the Conservative do the rest - which they will very gladly as a result of what has happened.Darryl Raymakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905569596318855617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38400867.post-37628002751249317682008-12-01T10:43:00.000-08:002008-12-01T10:43:00.000-08:00With respect, Darryl, for an excellent and well-wr...With respect, Darryl, for an excellent and well-written post - I disagree with Macchiavelli. The reality is that you should never leave a man or especially, a woman, with nothing left to lose. Some people are wolves in sheep's clothing - do them a grave wrong - and they will do whatever it takes to get even.<BR/>The reason I emphasized the case of women, is, that the saying "Hell hath no fury" didn't pop out of a vacumn.Fakirs Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12194254351555848321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38400867.post-13985385001948026332008-11-30T21:41:00.000-08:002008-11-30T21:41:00.000-08:00You got that right Stevie Boy.
