sweep the leg

Media has corrected themselves and it's actually a 2nd round pick b/c the hire was made in-season.

Blue Jackets have to give the Canucks a 3rd round pick in compensation for hiring a guy they fired. Such a weird system...

She did. She's actually been a really good story. She's learned how to speak French fluently and has been taking her job seriously since she won, even working as a deputy critic. It's nice to see b/c she could have made it a big joke and just collected a cheque for four years.

I agree re:cpp hike. Not sure I see the other two happening any time soon though.

My fearless prognostication is that the Liberals win, but come up just short of a majority.

I wouldn't say that. I'm too polite to be boastful.

Your comment about "shy Tories" and how they affected the polls in England really made me think of all of the people that have told me this election "I'm voting Conservative, but don't tell anyone", including this morning. It makes me wonder how many people are in that same boat. I look at all of the personal attacks made on the two of us here, and it really is a reflection of why people are downright afraid to speak up anymore unless they say they are voting Liberal or New Dumb. It's not worth the aggravation and the insults. Just quietly vote Conservative, and move on, without having to be yelled at by imbeciles. Are you really quietly moving on though? You have so many posts like this, where you insult people with differing opinions, yet you are surprised and upset and you get attacked in return. You could have made the exact same post without the insults and it would have carried a lot more weight. Yes I am quietly moving on though. And if I insulted anyone with differing opinions, I roundly apologize. If anyone here who posted blatant lies feels insulted because I called them a liar, I say too bad - you need to accept the consequences if you want to post lies. As for the being yelled at by imbeciles, I wasn't referring to anyone here (though I see now that it could be taken that way). I was referring to other boards and Facebook pages I've been on, where the negativity and the anti-Harper stuff is just off the charts. Sorry if I offended you Bigg Jay. I totally picture my grandpa on my dad's side when I read some of your posts. I remember him being completely blown away that anybody could be so stupid as to not agree with his opinions.

Conservative supporters are definitely the most oppressed people in Canada.

We're winning our next two games and going to the playoffs. Book it.

question, what has the CBC done that is worse than running a front page add that says "vote this way or terrible things will happen" Can you show me an example of anyting even remotely close to that level? Im not going to debate you and your love for the CBC. No point to that. lol. You sound like a Conservative politician.

Disagree. His ypg pace is good, but certainly not exceptional. Westerman is lapping the field at an American dominated position.

McDavid only has 1 point. #bust

This analogy sucked the first time you used it too. Is a nerdy economist like Harper a better fit to be a leader than a charismatic pretty boy that people gravitate too? Not as easy an answer as you think it is. A big part of the leader's job is to get people to like/support him. It's not like he's in charge of drafting every bill and personally preparing the budget. As long as he's got smart people in the background doing the dirty work he'll be fine. It doesn't matter if Harper is a supergenius if people can't stand him.

Oh Iso, you so crazy.

I'm a bandwagon jumper. This is fun for now, but I'll go back to not caring about them when it's over.

It's been a trainwreck. He's now campaigning with the Fords while telling people Trudeau will put brothels in your neighbourhood and sell drugs to your kids.

We're a Hitler reference away from hitting all of the internet fight benchmarks.

We can sign Walter in the offseason to backup Harris.

I am insulting people because I point out their hypocrisy? Really. What thin-skins we all have. You insulted the people you called idiots. We can agree that there is a problem with thin skin in this thread.

The poor Conservatives just can't catch a break. People are being so mean to them. Pointing out double standards isn't crying. Preparing to be outraged over something that hasn't happened yet is.

One comment. Oh good grief. Now you are lying too. As always I find, when cornered, the result is deliberate obtuseness as a defense. Fine, just pretend that the NDP idiots in this thread only made one stupid comment full of lies. Not true, but whatever floats your denial boat. As I said, you can't bully me or tell me how to post, and your tactics and willful blindness disgust me. I can't wait for this election to finally be over. It definitely brings out the worst in a lot of people. Insulting people while complaining about being bullied is a tough act to pull off. You can tell the length of the campaign by the anger and rhetoric in some of these posts. We've gotten to the point of disgust and shame with each other.

I just can't get over the image of Putin and Trudeau in the same room together. Putin just pointing and laughing and realizing that the entire Canadian north is now his for the plucking. This is why Trudeau is a bad choice. No way can he stand up to actual leaders. He'd make us a joke. I'd take putin over him in a heartbeat. Putin is strong and actually defends his country's culture and traditions. Why couldn't he? Because attack ads told you so?

The poor Conservatives just can't catch a break. People are being so mean to them.

Conservatives are getting desperate. http://www.buzzfeed.com/paulmcleod/conservatives-are-accusing-justin-trudeau-of-wanting-to-mand?utm_term=.hw83PRpGz8#.xwzALyGwMQ
