It is about the OPPOSITE of Harper, instead everything being "dont", we will DO.<br />SAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1794543501422517253.post-2813762245039083662009-09-05T09:11:39.316-07:002009-09-05T09:11:39.316-07:00I agree that it's a referendum on Harper. Thes...I agree that it's a referendum on Harper. These are some things we can point out Harper has done wrong, especially our slow recovery rate. And we need an alternative to propose when we attack Harper.<br /><br />And of course don't make it sound like the last election, but there would be similarities in some of the principles. These after all are all things Harper has failed to deliver.YLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07889907981358261904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1794543501422517253.post-14590461515422897952009-09-04T22:28:29.084-07:002009-09-04T22:28:29.084-07:00I wouldn't do anything that "sounds"...I wouldn't do anything that "sounds" (literally) like the previous election campaign, even in rhythm. Bad, bad idea.<br /><br />But the concept you've outlined is good. My only caveat is its too dreamy.<br /><br />This election has to be a referendum on Harper. Anything else is foolish. The last campaign should have been a referendum on Harper, but the Liberals squandered that line of discussion before it ever began.<br /><br />Yes, you must have a platform (well, except Harper, who somehow gets a pass fromt the media), but it should be "part" of the campaign, not the thrust of the campaign. <br /><br />The real message is this: "It is time for Harper to go" with constant examples of how Canada has lost ground under his government.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
