Left Out In The Cold

The best part about Stephen Harper and The Conservatives leading in the polls is watching the Liberals get really nasty. I think CTV news called it Fight Club - which is awesome. Does that mean Paul Martin is like Tyler Durden? Pass the soap.

Today, our governing overlords unloaded with a nice dozen of tv spots that really go after 'crazy' Stephen Harper, which is what politics is all about. Too bad, there was one spot that, oops, wasn't supposed to leak out. And then there was poor Ujjal Dosanjh, Vancouver South MP, out commenting on the new ads and saying how Paul Martin approved them all, and they were all fair game. Double oops. Gets Ujjal didn't get the talking points.

The ad? Of course CTV has it now. Ads ending in "We did not make this up" are just so awesome, it's hard to believe. Here's the text of the ad:

Stephen Harper actually announced he wants to increase military presence in our cities. Canadian cities. Soldiers with guns. In our cities. In Canada. We did not make this up. Choose your Canada

Mader Blog wonders if the disclaimer is because the Liberals are so completely full of it nobody believes anything they say anymore. Even better is Conservative MP Monte Solberg who is trembling from thier awesome power and working on his demos for the Daily Show:

The Lib attack ads are so scary I'm going to have to sleep tonight with the light on. I mean what if Stephen Harper is hiding under my bed and then smothers me with a drycleaning bag and steals my remaining Burnt Almond to give to an ultra-conservative Bush Republican, who packs a pistol AND a Bible. No, even better, it's a Bible machine gun. Yep, fires two hundred rounds a minute, and plays Amazing Grace at the same time. Perfect for huntin' varmints, and personal protection.

In the immortal words of Stifler, "It's on like Donkey Kong beeyotch". Conservatives strike back. How fun is this? Warren Kinsella says they'll work. Adam Daifallah thinks they are ironicly American.
