As long as I can remember the most corrupt machine was always the liberal one. The Pequistes were no angels, and Levesque admitted to sleazy tactics because he had to compete with the Duplessis machine. Two bads make one win. The mind set of the liberalis was anything goes as long as we get elected. The most transparent evidence of their corruption is their secret red book for getting elected. They tell their candidates to just make promises, lots of them, as once they are elected they don't have to keep them. The liberals were always arrogant about winning and ruling, not stooping to let the people have any say. Parliamentary votes and plebiscites were done away with, as was individual power of the back bencher to question the ruling party on budgetary insufficiencies. The liberals always ruled by order in council.40,000 of them since the late 60's. A virtual nazi-type dictatorship of which Adolph would have been proud. The sum total of all liberal election promises kept since 1968? Zero. That is right. They have not kept a single promise since that age. Perhaps before that too.

I don't know what we get if we vote conservative, but one thing refreshing about Harper is that he seems honest. That would be a change. A politician with a conscience. I am not sure I trust Martin.

You will never get perfection when you vote. The best sounding candidate I heard from the last election, who I will tell you I probably would not vote for, was the Communist candidate for Mississauga. He actually sounded intelligent and had a good grasp of well thought-out relevant issues. All the other candidates were just posturing.

Before the liberals we had a good standard of living and led the world in many ways. Today we have an expensive government that we cannot afford and our cities are overcrowded and falling apart. We have no more manufacturing industry. We are swiftly becoming a third world country. We need an injection of leadership that knows how to trim unecessary government and to promote a healthy economy.

But I would have voted for Adlai Stevenson.
