Just what we need........more cut and run defeatists.....now all of a sudden because conservatives are running the country we are helping the U.S. fight in Iraq by sending more troops to Afganistan....lets just forget that we were there before the Iraq war when Afganistan was the "good" war.
As for this whole Emerson thing, the NDP and Liberals are raising more of a stink in Ottawa than the people here in Vancouver.....Facts to a liberal is like Kryptonite to Superman.

Originally posted by Prairie CanuckGo figure, PM Harper finally emerges from hiding and it's in Afghanistan no less....First foregn trip and it's to the troops.
Remember....before Iraq Afganistan was "the good war". Jack Layton wants to have a debate on a commitment we have already made and Harper....god love em....said too late we made the commitment. Nothing but pure politics on Laytons part and this visit by Harper was to shut the critics up.Facts to a liberal is like Kryptonite to Superman.

Harper's confession of amorous awkwardness draws guffaws from wife
OTTAWA (CP) - Call Stephen Harper what you will, but don't call him a Conservative Casanova.
The prime minister was quick to correct a New Democrat MP who accused him today of "seducing" former Liberal David Emerson into switching parties. Harper reminded the House of Commons that his reputation is that of a bookish loner rather than a hot-blooded lothario.
"I don't think I've ever been accused of seducing anyone, even my wife," he told chortling MPs.
The observation brought howls of laughter from his wife, Laureen, who was watching her husband's first question period as prime minister.
Her reaction did not escape the eye of her husband, who commented: "I see there's some agreement in the gallery there."
---------------------------------------
Even though he was obviously trying to get out of the whole Emerson thing, it's still pretty funny. I'm getting to like Harper, whereas before I just liked his party (and not all of it either). He seems to be a real person, while Martin and Chretien were clearly just professional politicians (and not all that professional).Last edited by ZFBoxcar; 07 Apr 06,, 04:40.

Personally I had some reservations about Harper, but the Liberals clearly were not up to the task of governing any longer and I'd never vote NDP while I'm still sane. The conseravtives presented a more appealing platform IMO and so far they are living up to the bits I liked.
Harper certainly gets the media's scorn for insignificant issues like his pot belly and other unnessassary personal attacks that Martin and Chretien never got, but as you said he comes across as a human being rather than strictly a politician.Facts to a liberal is like Kryptonite to Superman.
