You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through.” – Rosalynn Carter
Every night and every weekend I keep telling myself that tomorrow, or after the weekend, things at work will be a little different. Or that I will have a new job. I develop these grandiose plans to improve my life, my workplace and, yes, the world. And so when the next day arrives I do what I can but it is never as big or elaborate as I had planned in those beautiful, self-righteous, self-absorbed moments just before I fall asleep. It is in those few moments between wake and sleep that I am King, but once I wake up I become subject to all the other forces around me.
And that is the case for the ConservaShits and the other lack-lustre opposition parties. The Liberals are at least waking up, going to work, making it look like they are busy but everyone knows this facade cannot last forever. But the Opposition parties are doing what they can to make it look like they are going to do something or that they are forcing someone else to do something. But then nobody does or actually is forced to do anything. It is rather a boring game when everyone calls everyone else’s bluff.
Yesterday, CBC reported that the Liberals were going to table some economic update that the Conservatives were going to block. This is what Gary Lunn, some sort of ass Critic for Public Works, said. Its seems the Tories played a cruel joke on old Gary because today Monte Solberg said that he had prepared a motion, but that he won’t use it. I guess no one had the balls to do it.
“We don’t want to say on the one hand that we’re allowing them to do their business and then allow the perception that we’re standing in the way of doing that,” Solberg told CBC.
Let me get this straight they don’t want to say one thing and then “allow the perception”? There has been nothing going on in the past year that you have been doing to stop that perception. You idiot. We are supposed to thank you for being so very kind and not getting in the way of government?
Everyday you ass-clowns are on the news making puppy-dog eyes at us and you are telling us your devious plans to take this unethical government down. “They no long have the moral authority.” “They are making deals with the devil.” “The NDP is dealing with the devil.” Vote of non-confidence here. Yelling and screaming there. But we are to believe that you, Mr Stephen Harper, are not trying to stand in the way of progress?
After re-reading one of the news articles I noticed something though. Harper’s Tories are saying they don’t want to be perceived as standing in the way of government doing its job even though they are. Jack Layton, on the other hand, I believe is misquoted or made a slip of the tongue.
“The New Democratic party can not express confidence in a government that isn’t doing things for people and we can’t condone the Liberals’ ethical conduct.”
The NDP can’t condone the “ethical conduct” of the Liberals? Ethical conduct is, in my mind at least, a good thing. Un-ethical conduct should not be excused, dismissed or condoned. But the NDP is standing with the conservatives who will say anything and do nothing. The Tories are not doing anything for the Canadian people either. They say the government is illegitimate but they don’t bring it down. They say the government is electioneering but they don’t want to be perceived as standing in the way of the government doing business. Yet they say the government is not doing anything except doing business with Liberal friendly companies.
The Conservatives say one thing and then do nothing. They don’t want to be perceived in the wrong light and that is why they keep telling other people how to go about doing their dirty work for them. Yet they are constantly on the news making appearances and saying the things that would have them look like they are standing in the way of the government.
The NDP says they no longer have confidence in the Liberals, it seems that confidence is something you have when people play nice with you but once those people stop playing as nicely then you lose confidence. I don’t think that politicians use the word confidence the same way real people do.
Politicians are stupid animals. They claim to know what the people of Canada want but they are too much of a chicken-shit to do anything about it because I don’t think they actually know what Canadians want.
