Oh is that news worthy ? I thought he was a Torey in heart soiled soul and all. but what does a man's political out look matter ? I used to be Socred in my heart.. Not sure how that came to be my parents where more aligned to the NDP at that time & our political view points differed a fair bit. I am not sure at what point I started to listen to and then moved on to be a bit of supporter of progressive conservatives it was around 1992 maybe a bit earlier than 93 at any rate.
Looking back I probably should of gone on to follow CAP (Canadian Action Party) I guess they were a bit more believable to me at that time... but I hadn't In all honesty I was a partial back woods follower of the Liberals. With some respect for the new democrats but not much. After many years I Had become completely disillusioned with the Social credit party, the NDP, CAP, Librerals & Conservatives...
During the Last Election, I voted Green out of sheer spite, Why, I did so at that point? Now that is hard to say, I probably did so cause there was no better choice's at that time.At least no better choices that appealed to me. Why did I vote Green.. Even though I knew they stood a Snowballs chance in hell of winning a single seat. Probably because they were the only party that wanted to make change in the way things are run..
Today or these days, I am such a disillusioned voter with all politicians, I have no faith in a single word any of them says.. I maintain no firm beliefs in any political party I can not even say i would support the green party any more thats how far my disillusion has run. .
To be honest if they had not come to me i would of not voted at all... and that is municipal.. it is worse Cause i have also lost hope beyond provincial to all things federal... Anyways back to the vote...during the last election, municipal at the time & I voted from my hospital bed. At least they came room to room and went, bed to bed to take persons votes.
However if they had not of done that, I would not of gone out to vote at all.. What matters democracy if you don't go out and vote...
Today if an election was held would I go out to vote.. Sadly that is highly doubtful. The main reason being, there's nothing worth voting for.. I am no longer thrilled or enthralled by a single leader of any of the fornicating choices.. How do you vote for some one, when all you want to do is line the politicians up against a brick wall and have them shot..
Maybe one day there will arise a political candidate that can sway me, One that can win my heart back. One that can get me off my ass and to feel alive once more.. One candidate that can lift my belief in humanity and in the government out of the sewers and back to the road...But until that time I shall sit and probably cast my vote for
?..
Just one problem I don't know who that is... And right now the only party worth voting for is none of the above...... I have lost all faith in the Canadian electorate and in the government system. I have lost faith in the courts & in our justice system.
There is nothing to vote for.. Fills a bottle of vodka with petrol and a rag.. and firebombs the house of commons... I am just kidding, I would never vote with violence.. but some times I look at Russ's Avatar and say if only they did that more often...
What would happen to politicians & political parties...If they got shot every time they got caught in a scandal that hurt the people they are supposed to represent.
Who do you Vote for and why ? Just Why do you vote ? I know why I used to vote... I just no longer know who to vote for... What are you supposed to do when you lose hope in a system and a way of life how do you gain that spark of life back..
How do you change from being apathetic and dead to lively and full of hope... there is not one politcal standard I can stand up for and say I support them... I can believe in them. They can make a difference... Except there is none any more...
Now it is all the same, a gigantic political circus...Complete with mud slinging, back stabbing, thieving scoundrels, lying low life's and lets not forget the inglorious bastards who are often caught in sensational scandals... God Bless Canada.. cause as it stands right now it is going to hell...
