Stephen Harper is Delusional

Rob Ford is an absolute disgrace.
I voted for that guy. What an error in judgment....
I voted for him because I thought he was real, a real guy, a rarity in the Conservative ranks.
But it didn't take long for the real Rob Ford to emerge: a drunk crack addict who likes to grope and sexually harrass women in his office.

You know, you think you have a handle on what's going on and then shit goes down that makes you look like you weren't behind the 8-Ball......
It SUX.
Rob Ford has to go. You can't be a Mayor of a city as large and Globally important as Toronto and smoke crack as soon as the work days' done....

I think it's time for me to start believing completely in Carl Jung's Abraxas.
I need to find comfort in equal measure in Good and Evil.
The imbalance is killing me.
LOL

They mentioned on KPFA the Washington DC mayor, Marion Berry, who got caught smoking crack, did time, and then came back and got reelected. Know his story? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Barry

Well, Marion Barry's name was trotted out as soon as the crack scandal broke. "Rob Ford! Smoked Crack! Just like Marion Barry!"

Is it the same? This is 2013. Barry's crack scandal happened in 1990. Is there a difference?
I've heard everything from "Lawyers and Doctors smoke crack and they function normally!" to "Is smoking crack that bad? Rob Ford forms complete sentences, so he can't be that much of a crack addict!"

Right.
Lamar Odom forms complete sentences.
Charlie Sheen forms complete sentences.
Charlie even memorizes lines. LOL

Mike Duffy (and his lawyer) are UNLOADING the big trail of e-mails that will bring down Harper's joke government:

Thanks Mike!
You're not my Hero, but thanks for bringing down the worst government in Canadian history!

Canadians are starting to ask themselves: Is there a precedent for arresting a sitting Prime Minister?

The answer is NO.
We have never been in this situation in our nation's 146-year history.
We have never had crime and corruption (exposed) like this in our halls of power before.
Harper and Nigel Wright and all the Tory lickspittles didn't think for a minute that they would be brought down by one of their own- an UNELECTED one of their own.
Harper ran for office on Senate reform long ago. And now he is facing extermination by a Senator HE appointed.
This is what happens when you indulge lobbyists, who, I might add have infested our House of Commons public galleries.
I have been told a new practice has entered Parliament: you will be asked to leave the public galleries by HOC Security because lobbyists have petitioned their MP's for reserved seating in the public galleries. THEY RESERVE THE WHOLE GALLERY! To lobby the government!

THE PUBLIC SOUL OF CANADA HAS BEEN ERASED BY STEPHEN HARPER.
You won't get it back until you send him to prison.

Let's Be Clear: (to quote Harper, LOL):

It's Time to HEAVE STEVE!

And here's a message to the RCMP: Canadians are watching to see whose backs you have: OURS, or the PMO.
We suspect Harper's corruption may stretch right into the RCMP.
Please prove us dead wrong.

I didn't realize Canada as a nation was officially only 146 years old; I had to look it up. Of course you're right; it's complicated, though...

Yes. Officially a Nation in 1867. But very complicated to get to that point...

I watched Question Period yesterday, and Harper still refuses to answer any straight questions on who knew what and when in his own office about the deal with Mike Duffy to pay back his expenses. NDP Offical Opposition Leader Tom Mulcair fileted Harper like a fish, nailing him question after question, usually ending with a final "YES OR NO?" demand for an answer, which Harper refused to do at every turn.
Mulcair each time said "Canadians are noting that the Prime Minister is not answering the question".
Harper at one point said that Mulcair was "casting aspersions" about who was involved in the Duffy deal.
To which Mulcair incinerated Harper: "Only a Conservative would find looking for the truth as "CASTING ASPERSIONS"

Boo-Yah Ke-shah!
I even heard My Man Charlie Angus shout out to Harper when he stood up: WALK AN HONEST ROAD FOR ONCE!!!!!
It fell on deaf ears.
I also heard Defence Minister Rob Nicholson tell a whopper of a lie in the House when he stood up and said Harper's joke government has done more for Veterans than any other government. What a serious crock of horseshit. The Tories are closing every single Veterans Affairs support office!
In fact, in Sydney Nova Scotia this weekend there is huge rally and march and protest at the closing of their support office.
I can't remember what NDP MP it was, but he stood up and THUNDERED at the Tories:
"AN NDP GOVERNMENT WILL MAKE SURE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE OFFICES ARE RE-OPENED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
To huge applause, from the floor and from the galleries.
Harper is balancing his books on the backs of our Heroes.

Make no mistake: Harper's government is Fucked.

They cling to their bad behavior and false claims with bloody claws. Bad politician behavior is very like addict behavior, which the Toronto mayor's simply is.

Ain't that the ironclad truth.

Rob Ford is just a huge bag of hammers.
Finance Minister Jim "THE FLEECER" Flaherty is a long-time family friend of the Ford's, and he was crying on TV yesterday about Ford.
Literally getting misty-eyed over his fat friend's tragic political demise.
Or was it his own governments' tragic political demise? It's hard to know. Tories are so secretive...

Ford's mother and sister went on TV yesterday, saying that "Robbie was attacked. He's not an addict" and on and on...
Tell your fat disgrace of a brother/son that what he has done for Toronto is drag it's reputation through a sick pigsty!
And he wants forgiveness?
Gimme a fucking break!
You don't become Mayor and behave like this idiot has behaved!
Sweet Jesus, we need to rid the earth of Conservative scum.
You never hear of scandals like this from any other party. ONLY TORIES.
Time to tell them to fuck off forever.
Enough is Enough dammit.

Ford is a disgusting fat messy slob. I wouldn't want him as mayor of my big city even if he was a teetotaler.

:D

I know. Hindsight is 20/20. I can't believe I voted for him in 2010.
I'm utterly ashamed I voted for a Tory. NEVER again. For some reason I thought Ford was "real".

City Council is petitioning the Ontario provincial government to take unprecedented action and remove Ford from office and order him to get help.

By the way, PMW, if you're still reading this massive thread at all, you can lock this thread as soon as Harper is gone.

I want this thread over more than anyone who reads it. TRUST ME.
But given how long it takes to get Justice, I'd say we have at least 6 months before the actual hammer comes down.
It's all dependent on the RCMP.
If they want to restore Canadians' faith in such a flawed institution, I can't think of a more ripe moment.

Something else I'd like to highlight about this DEATH OF HARPER'S GOVERNMENT situation we are witnessing:

Many people have come out in defence of Nigel Wright, Harper's former Chief-of-Staff.
They say he's a highly ethical man, he is beyond reproach, he is a saint. Impeccable Dude, Dude...get with it....blah blah blah.
All these "defenders of the faith" (pardon me Judas Priest- I mean no harm, Metal Gods!) forget one crucial thing:

Nigel reached into his own bank account to pay Duffy off.

How would he do that on his own? Why would he do that on his own?
How did that idea ever even enter his head?
How did he not know how it would look?
And if he did, I want him to say under oath that his job as Chief-of-Staff was always on the chopping block. That it's dirty politics, and everybody under the sun knows that the COS is expendable. Canadians need to know this for the future.

WHO LET IT LEAK OUT THAT A CHECK WAS CUT? That's the question.
