As a Conservative - I am Mad as Hell

I know I should not express my thoughts about politics in my own personal blog but for some reason I am mad as hell and can't take it anymore. As I sit here within hurling distance of Parliament Hill, I just have to say something about how Stevie Harper is running our country. Its no wonder Canadians will not give Stevie a full mandate. Even with a half a mandate, he has managed to mess up enough stuff that Ottawa has basically ground to a halt.

Being in the communications business it's interesting to see how all of the governments' communications and marketing programs now need to go through the PMO's office. That means no movement at all. That also means that there are is little or no research being done by research firms since my brethren the conservatives don't want any bad news hitting the airwaves or creating the public perception on the job they are doing.

It also should be noted that most Senior Managers in government have now put most initiatives on hold or have realized that its senseless to even try doing anything since any initiative on their part will soon be sitting on someone's desk in the PMO for months on end waiting for the appropriate time to water it down and send it back to the department for more study. If Canadians only knew how their tax dollars were being spent by housing thousands of government employees and keeping them penned up with little or no guidance until King Stevie speaks, they would go crazy. There would be a revolt.

So,just for the record, the Prime Minister quite frankly does not deserve a full mandate and he was lucky in the past that he was fighting it out with a couple of light weights in Dion and Layton and a Block Party that is more concerned about the Montreal Canadians making the playoffs rather than getting any real Canadians across Canada upset. Did you know that your tax payer dollars fund French only Block web sites? Its OK, they are allowed. No inadequacies here. Unlike the Block, I don't get upset if someone can't speak my langugage, I just communicate anyway.

Its time for Stevie to take a long holiday and its time for the Conservatives, my party and for my conservative brethren to get a new leader. Our guy, Stevie has shown limited leadership or knowledge and has put this country in a holding pattern. This week he says the economic downturn is not that bad for Canada and we have better chance of getting out it than the U.S.

Who knows -- I sure as hell don't because there is no policy to give us confidence we have one that will make a difference. Stevie says our banks are more stable and they should be, with the bank fees they charge and the way they have blackmailed Canadians over the years through bank charges,even when they lose $5B they are still making $10B so sure, they are in good shape.

Canadians are losing their jobs, so what are we doing, providing more training, that's good but its some government run program that will churn out a few people and then be put on the shelf until the next bright idea comes along. No focus, part of no plan.

In the last budget we continued to put even more money into the Aboriginal file of over $8B and we still don't have clean or running water on some reserves and their was nothing given to the farmers to help them grow their businesses. Where's the plan Stevie?

Yes Stevie, you don't deserve a full mandate and I don't blame Canadians for not giving you one. As a conservative I have lost my faith in you too and have realized as you should, that being a small dictator is not about being a leader.

Leadership is about building unity, cooperation, having a strategy and a game plan for the nation and building on our strengths and moving our country forward. Stevie, you have some competition now, a liberal leader that is smart, educated, a politician and statesman.

You better beware Stevie, because the electorate is mad as hell and may not give you the mandate you want and soon they will allow you to live out your days writing your book called "The Steve" by the Steve and living within your large overblown government pension.

No leadership there either, perhaps you should give yourself a seat in the senate it may be cheaper than a pension of Canadians. So no majority for you Stevie, not even a minority, its time Stevie, time, to just fade away. Your hope of leadership is gone now anyway. With your record, from one conservative to another, you don't deserve it anyway.
