    Maybe he opened his mouth just a bit too wide.

    I hope so. Looks good on him.

    To say he had not been briefed after he said he had is on tape, they have proof he said it. I was watching that program.

    He can't weasel out of this one.

    Jim,

    I saw him too, and then saying something like "maybe I shouldn't say too much here, but, I do get briefed from the PMO office."

    Also, heard you today on CPAC talking about Roy and his experience with the Chamber of Commerce. You sounded informed at least. Some of those people that are voting Concervative sound like seniors that haven't realized the PCs no longer exist. Frustrating!

    You are correct, some do sound even older than me !! I am concerned at the high percentage of callers that say they will flat out vote CONS.

    It must run 70-80% of callers.

    I try to give them something to refute harper's stand on certain issues.

    Once I told Peter van Dusen to watch harper's lips, don't listen to the words. They are not the same.

    Harper is clever, but he is also a quitter, and will not take any crap from anyone he works with.

    Another thing, the reporters travelling with him are getting frustrated because he doesn't seem to want to take any more questions at his press conferences. Arrogant as hell !

    I watched CBC tonight and they profiled harper and Martin. Harper was working in Ottawa for the Reform party and quit. Didn't like politics.

    He later became an Alliance MP, and then quit. Politics is too slow.

    His view of voters is that they are not informed and they will believe you if you say the right things.

    This guy is manipulative, big time.

    Can't wait until Monday.

    Sounds like Bush's resume. Business degree and all his businesses failed? Harper is right about one thing though, the voters are not informed. If the voters were informed the Liberals would receive zero votes and the Conservatives less than zero! Did you see the environmental debate on CPAC as well? It was very good. The Conservative really stand alone on their lame concern for the environment. The NDP and Greens did very well and David Anderson was left a bit wanting as well.

    Jim I can wait for Monday, I hate suspense, but this is one time that I wish we had another month or two to get some information out there, also I don't think Harper can take the pressure, hopefully he'll let the truth out before Monday.

    Have you noticed how short harper's temper is ?

    He doesn't lose it, but when someone asks him something he doesn't agree with, or doesn't want to talk about, the first word out of his mouith is "Look, ...".

    He's talking down to people and I don't like that at all.

    Why are so many others missing this arrogance ?

    Did you watch the profile CBC did on Harper and Martin last night? In Harpers high school year book his pet peeve was "reality". And I was getting flack for suggesting he had the potential to be a pathological lier in his astrological chart! I fell asleep during Martin's so I missed most of it.
