It all comes down to this...Oh, so it comes to this! It all comes down to this! Somebody will put their foot in their mouth and they lose the turn to govern! Simply wonderful! Is that what it is all about? All on the basis of who "put their foot in their mouth"! Gullible voters ultimately deserve to get the people they elect to lead them and spend their money! How can a person be judged on a 90-minute snapshot?<br /><br />How naive can the electorate be? Having seen elections here and around the world for over 50 years, there is one common theme I see, and it all happens ONLY prior to an election - the incumbent party will roll out the red carpet, do all the things or promise to do what it should have been doing all along during non-election years, and shamelessly waste OUR money to buy votes. Did the ruling party not have a chance to do all this way before the election? <br /><br />And, why do I see posters for candidates, such as Kent Hehr, who never ever speak up or raise issues in the legislature during the term, but all of a sudden, magically transform into someone who really cares about the electorate? During the remainder of the term, all these backbenchers do is earn a fat salary and applaud someone else who has the good conscience to stand up and fight for his constituency! Shame!<br /><br />All I can say is that generally smart people allow themselves to be manipulated prior to an election. I mean how difficult is it to see through these opportunistic promises that all this is done by candidates just to get elected. Albertans need to hold politicians' feet to the fire!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3053801176211107242.post-57342741750110894332012-04-11T18:10:00.248-06:002012-04-11T18:10:00.248-06:00Don't you just love how the PC's could not...Don't you just love how the PC's could not fix/repair schools, hospitals or build roads until this election time (not over the last 4years or even in this latest budget)...than there is money for everything. Was this planned? You bet, because the PC's will only give you something if you give them back something bigger-another big election win. Than they forget about you...until election time again when they remember whom pays the fat cheques.<br /><br />This election is more about "PROTEST VOTING" and a chance to see real change offered by a fresh new group of politicans with a view to restore Alberta. Time that the electoral "cleaned house," and got back the respect of the MLA's that are there to represent us. Kick the PC's to the curb, it will send a clear message to all that represent us going forth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3053801176211107242.post-41349762528384278772012-04-07T09:26:29.123-06:002012-04-07T09:26:29.123-06:00Thanks for the comments.

PC Candidate Ric McIver. (Who doesn't even live in Calgary-Hays so how does he know it best? - which ironically is his slogan...) <br /><br />Ric certainly didn't do himself any favours going on Rutherford...<br /><br /> And when he arrived on my friend's door step and was asked about Alison's leadership he said, "she's no worse than anyone else." That's the PC party criteria for Premier? No worse than Stelmach?<br /><br />I wasn't originally sold on WRP but I love Danielle Dollars.

A political party who's members betrayed the people of Alberta. Unethically formed when its core founding members committed high treason keeping there seats after crossing the floor, refusing to give up there seats to a by-election and turning there backs on the people who voted for them. It is hard enough to trust or put faith in a politician and or a party. With that said, a party that is formed with such a disregard for ethics and morals has no place in a democratic society. It took federalist conservatives a long time to realize an old adage...United we stand, Divided we fall. WRP may win, but all of Alberta will lose.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09982429307527784228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3053801176211107242.post-6888094130651468772012-04-03T20:28:57.649-06:002012-04-03T20:28:57.649-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09982429307527784228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3053801176211107242.post-40162108980473831202012-04-03T19:10:14.214-06:002012-04-03T19:10:14.214-06:00W.R.P. will be a clear winner.
