this election is making me ill.

mostly because of...
Steve "the Sweater" Harper















i don't know what it is exactly, but stephen harper makes me want to projectile vomit. any sort of contact- a picture, the sound of his voice, anything - and the bile starts rising up in the back of my throat.

is it that ill-concealed contempt he seems to have for any and everyone who might disagree with him? the smugness with which he celebrates his breathtaking lack of literacy?

is it the lies?














or maybe it's the denials about the lies?

is it the cheap suits?
or is the pathetic warm fuzzy look that came out of his pre-election make-over?














maybe it's the appalling way he sucks up to anything american, pissing all over himself and this country in a pathetic effort to ingratiate himself with them in some small, sad way?
where would a guy learn something like that anyway?















lately, it's occurred to me it could be something darker... maybe he's an operative for some major american financial concerns, or a foreign government agency...
















maybe it's some animal thing, like somewhere in the back of my brain, sub-consciously i know him to be one of those infamous lizards living under the surface to the earth (the tar sands?), or maybe he's an advance scout for some distant civilization that needs a new source of protein and sees all of us as their soylent green in a good way.

mostly, i think it's the way he has reduced the political processes in this country to the level of a sociopathic bully - making ignorance a virtue and lying a daily event. in the process, he degrades everyone involved in canadian politics, including the voters.

anyway, i'm not sleeping too well. for the first time in my life, i don't feel good about the future of the true north. this guy would sell us all out for a chopper ride to george's ranch for a BBQ and an autographed cowboy hat...
later,
d

ps- for god's sake, for your children's sake, for your own self-respect.... please, get out there and vote!!!
bring this guy and his thugs down before we become the newest US protectorate, OK?


















if you feel this way too, we are not alone....
