I have the same concerns. I thin...Nice post Joan. I have the same concerns. I think all we can do is keep hammering away at them until someone (media, Joe Public) start hearing the "news"...<BR/><BR/>We have a lot of work ahead of us. I do still think Flaherty is just building a "landing pad" for himself. It it isn't to protect against electoral defeat, then he's doing it in case Harper "outs" him, and he becomes a "has been" with the FedCons...WesternGrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658358114507615351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28423454.post-69136963917094554182008-03-20T10:55:00.000-07:002008-03-20T10:55:00.000-07:00I believe that Flaherty feels he should be leader ...I believe that Flaherty feels he should be leader (of everything).<BR/><BR/>I believe Flaherty feels that he is the only one who could lead the provincial Conservatives.<BR/><BR/>I believe Flaherty feels that he is probably God's gift to Canada (maybe even women).<BR/><BR/>I believe that Flaherty feels a little too much about himself.<BR/><BR/>However, I do not believe that Harper would allow Flaherty to continue with this self-serving behaviour if it did not also benefit his (Harper's) self-serving interests. There is something up, and I doubt that it will actually result in any fewer Conservative seats across Canada in the next election.<BR/><BR/>As Liberals lets face it. The Conservative War Room has made very, very few mistakes the past two years. It's only failure has been to get the super-good polling numbers that they need to guarantee a majority. As Liberals we must face the fact they are always ahead of us on every national poll and have been able to absorb all controversial behaviour (Cadman affair, Naftagate, centralized power in the PMO). Something is up, and at the end of the day, anyone thinking that it will hurt the Conservatives overall is wrong.MississaugaJoanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302396652312132141noreply@blogger.com
