CanPol - You won't hear Tories on the news

[Asher]

You can't make this **** up.

In the very same paper that The Star blasts the conservatives for using TVs at the pumps for advertising, they pimp up the 26,000 new billboards coming to Toronto in the way of bus shelters provided by an advertising company.

I'd be happier if they would answer media questions rather than buy gas station ads. They can do both if they want but I'd like to see them work on the former before they subject me to their propaganda in the latter.

I think you are making a mountain out of a mole hill. They do answer questions.

I don't see it as mutually exclusive to run advertisements and to talk to media.

I have heard "unavailable for comment" more in the last 2.5 years than in the decades before. They are stunningly inaccessable. Don't go BenK on me.

As far as I'm concerned I hear too much from Harper, so I don't share your frustration in the lack of his voice.

I'm not sure what value we get out of hearing politicians spew bull****. All politicians lie. Every word out of their mouth is a waste of air.

Don't listen to a word any politician says. Ever. Judge only by actions. The less they talk, the better.

If it means the carbon tax gets killed, I'm all for it!

That's a nice feel good response but complete and utter BS.

I'm sorry but I want policies to be talked about before being implemented.

Since when do politicians implement what they talk about?

Sometimes I wonder what world you live in.

You are so cute some days.

Btw, I heard one of the ads on the radio on the way home today. Does the guy doing the voice over look as nerdy as he sounds?

[Asher]

I just have no patience to hear politicians talk.

It's the same reason I don't vote.

Why bother.

[Wezil]

You wouldn't even vote for me?

[Asher]

I don't vote. Long story. Last time I tried to vote I was threatened with legal action and had to give my 45 minutes on my personal cell phone to some elections officer to validate my claims that I hadn't already voted. And 2 hours of my time total.

[Wezil]

I have been known to spoil a ballot but I always show up to do it.
