Lame-Duck Dion: Forget Me; Focus on My 'Team'

I'm seeing, from recent news reports, that Liberal Party leader Stephane Dion is begging Canadians to look at the Liberal "Team" instead of worrying about how pathetic a non-leader he personally is.

Very well then, Mr. Dion. Will do.

Team? What team? I don't see a "team" in the Liberal Party. Just a bunch of potential backstabbers who, behind the scenes, are desperately plotting and scheming to undermine their leader so as to pave the way for their own taking over the reins of the creaky, squeaky old horsecart they call the "Liberal Party" that really needs to be chopped up and used for firewood.

Indeed we do need to focus on the "Team", the Liberal brand, which, inexplicably, remains strong in Canadians' minds, according to the polls, far exceeding the dopey Dion's own bleak support numbers. Too many Canadians, if you can consider a mere third (at best) to be "too many", continue to think that the Liberal Party of Canada is actually a worthwhile vehicle for government, while the truth of the matter is that, if they understood exactly how crooked and corrupt, how power-and-money-above-all-else fetishist it and its adherents really are, then they will turn to the Conservatives in droves.

But for that to happen, the Conservatives need to get off the bash-Dion-with-the-truth communications strategy, as their job in that area is a resounding success already, and retrain their communications howitzers' crosshairs onto the Liberal Party, the very artificially-popular partisan entity that continues to threaten Canada with potential return to the dark old days of Liberal tyranny, cavalier, entitlist mismanagement, obsession with appeasing extremist special-interests and overall abuse of the taxpayers and their human rights.

It's time to shatter the Matrix-like illusory hold the Liberal Brand continues to enjoy on about a third or less of Canadians. Take the reality pill, Neo, for heaven's sake!

No longer can the Conservatives afford to allow the Liberals to misrepresent themselves as good and so on.

No longer can the Liberals get away with this self-misrepresentation. An equilibrium must be struck in which the grim, unacceptable reality of the Liberal Party is matched by public support as evident in the polls.

Already, the Liberals have helped the Conservatives out as a start, what with their useless, shameful antics in Parliament, trying to fabricate false scandals by repeating the same stupid questions over and over again despite having the answers already and possessing no new evidence, with their attempts to hijack the Commons Committees for partisan witch-hunting purposes, with their refusal to take a stand on important legislation and matters of confidence in the government.

Canadians now rightly increasingly see the Liberal Party of Canada as NOT giving a flying frig at a rolling donut about Canada and Canadians, preferring instead a myopic obsession with self-preservation.

The Liberals continue to fear facing the voters in a real electoral contest. Their recent by-election "victories" which were so close that they could've easily gone the other way (like when they almost surrendered the unity of the Confederation to the Quebec separatists in the 1995 Referendum) and one of which actually did, aren't going to bolster their confidence one bit, certainly not when they look at devastating polling numbers like these which actually again show the Conservatives way out ahead in a double digit lead and approaching majority territory.

Mark my words, the Liberals will literally continue to "sit out" the current Parliamentary session, watching the clock tick away towards the long, relieving summer break so as to enable them to try to regroup and rearm, much like the "Palestinians" do during their false "ceasefires"...

Expect the next election to be precisely when the law indicates. This date, I suspect, the Liberals desperately dread.

Oh, the unbearable lightness of being useless. This is the inescapable reality of the Liberal Party of Canada, no matter who leads it.
