Quite simply, they are willing to play fast and loose with reality, and when called to account for it try blaming the resulting negative reaction on everyone else's alleged misunderstanding of their pure hearted intentions.
Its funny that the Liberal mouthpieces who are climbing over each other to get to the microphones keep citing "only 38 % of voters voted conservative, which means more people voted for a more progressive alternative.." They really shouldn't be going down that path. If you want to take this to its logical conclusion, consider the following:
1. Of all eligible Canadians, only 59.1 % chose to cast a ballot.
2. 40.9% of Canadians either were pleased with the current government, or did not feel that any of the other so called "progressive" alternatives presented a viable option worthy of their support.
Therefore, using the same logic as the Liberal party is positing, 78.9% of Canadians eligible to vote either voted directly to support the Conservative party or chose not to vote against them which could be viewed as tacit support.
Talk shows, blogs, newspapers and comment columns are showing a very strong public opinion against what is essentially a bloodless coup d'etat. There is no other way to put this. It has had nothing to do with "a lack of a stimulus package" based on what has been revealed in the last 24 hours. Did Jean Chretien, while negotiating with Ed Broadbent, know that the Bloc and NDP had been working out a deal to outst the government at the earliest opportunity? What does the Liberal Party do now? Are they willing to essentially to hand the levers of power to a combination of socialists who would destroy the economy and separatists whose sole raison d'être is to destroy the country?
Like Northrup, who couldn't understand why his misandric, racist motion has led to his being held up to contempt and ridicule, the coup d'etat bunch cannot understand why Canadians don't believe them when they say it's not about the cut to political subsidies.
