I am not convinced Harper won't still manage to piss off the loyal opposition. (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20090122.wPOLenvi0122/BNStory/politics/home) Of course, if Ig's Liberals can be bought off, that won't matter.

With respect, that's a "57 card-carrying members of the Communist Party" type accusation at the moment; no proof, sounds good, tars the opposition, and it's easy to say because the bomb-throwing wing of the NDP isn't going to wear much blame if we go to the polls again.

-- Steve doesn't doubt that there are CPC-droids on the benches who'd try to do precisely that, but thinks that Harper will be shoving pillows into any faces advocating anything (else) that would terminate his lease on 24 Sussex.
