No, the quote was invented. Harper never said it, ergo it was invented.

The fact that someone else said those words doesn't mean the Quote attributed to Harper was not invented.

You and I have a different definition of invented.

Apparently his boss said it while Harper was at the NCC. It's not like they head it from some guy on Queen St. and pinned it on Harper. Wrongly attributed but not invented.

This is nonsense. "HE STARTED IT" or "But they do it too!" should be no excuse.

There should be zero tolerance for falsehoods or unsubstantiated assertions and insinuations in political advertising.

And what party are you voting for again?

If the quote by Harper did not exist, it is not incorrect to say it was invented. We don't play "degrees of separation" as part of the criteria for what is invented...it is or it isn't.

The problem with lies, is that they're always easier to make than disprove, in the context of a campaign where people only hear snippets on the media.

The Libs are clearly panicking - they've given up on being "clean", which they have mostly been in their history.

I can't say I blame them. Running "dirty" wins with the public (as we've seen over the last five years). Sad, but true.

I've never voted for the Conservatives in my life. Or Liberals. Or NDP. Or Green.

I won't be voting at all this year.

Meh. Admit it isn't the best word already.

[Asher]

It's perfectly accurate.

[Wezil]

Alright, fine.

You choose to argue at length over the stupidest things sometimes.

Did I tell you I invented Pop Tarts last weekend?

That's right, I had one for the first time in my life.

The worst thing people can do is vote. Costs us money. Gives them money for annoying ads.

Jesus H!, have you only been paying attention for the last five years?

[Wezil]

I didn't mean to imply they started it, they just perfected it.
