Liberal ads

I have decided that I am going to keep writing about the election. It's not as if my opinions are anything new to most of you, but I enjoy writing and this is clearly the main news item right now. Feel free to email me with your comments/complaints/criticisms/insults.

I was watching Newsworld earlier this afternoon and saw a new Liberal attack ad. It was truly appalling. It was all about how a "Harper victory would put a smile on George W Bush's face." It was the most contemptible political ad I've ever seen. So much for repairing Canada-US relations. It's amazing the depths they well sink to save their butts.

So I went to the Liberal website to see the rest of the new ads and they were all pretty bad. The 'best' was the one talking about the contributions to his leadership campaign. "We do know he's very popular with right-wingers in the US. They have money. Maybe they helped." SCARY!!! Misinformation: Harper has revealed his donors from the Conservative leadership campaign. He hasn't revealed all the donors to his Canadian Alliance leadership campaign because some donors don't want their names revealed. I suppose you could argue that this is evidence that he's hiding something, but donnez moi un break. This was years ago, with a totally different party.

The Grits are really going for broke. This new series of ads is truly appalling and I think it will backfire. I wonder how much lower they can go. Dig up, stupid.
