Re: "Klein touts Harris to lead merged party," Journal, Oct. 18.
So Ralph Klein thinks Mike Harris is just the ticket. I would suggest to all those Alliance folks who think this stinker has legs that they hearken back a few years and recall Ralph the Great, standing on the podium and recommending his friend, Stockwell Day. And how the party then, in an ecstasy of dogmatic and religious fervor, turned its brains off and got its butt kicked.
You might remember that the media pilloried the man wherever he went, whatever he did; yet, quietly and without rancour about the past, he has become a forceful and effective Foreign Affairs critic today. What might have happened if the media had not set out at the behest of their Liberal masters to destroy him from the day they could get a photo of him on a Skidoo?
Memo to Canadian voters: Could you stand your worst photograph--that one you turn red over when you think about it--instead of your most flattering--being laughed at by guys who don't want you to win anyway?
Think about that when you vote. It is just one of the leftist media ploys to laugh at a good candidate and crucify him with it through repetition. Remember Stanfield and the football? Don't let the media do it again! Use your brains and dismiss the worst of the media lampoons and criticism and think of what the candidate is and stands for. Do his policies appeal to you? Is he a man who does what he says? That last one will certainly narrow the field of potential Prime Ministers down. NJC
Just in case Klein and the Alliance haven't been keeping up with current events I would suggest looking at the results of the Ontario provincial election. Anyone who spouts that the obliteration of the Tories in Ontario was the fault of Ernie Eves is either a backroom scam-artist or just plain deluded. It's rather like saying that the federal Tories were sent for a swim in the River Styx by Kim Campbell and not Brian Mulroney.
There is more, and it is positively vitriolic! Is this guy the lone Western Liberal on the Prairies, by any chance? One hopes! NJC
