DAY 5 OF THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN!!!

This just makes me laugh eh, another day of the 2008 election has gone by and another day that the blasted Conservatives had seemed to run into another scandal. Count them eh, 4 scandals in the span of 5 days, this in my opinion is pretty bad. How can any of the Conservative announcement be taken seriously when they are so embedded in these scandals. As well, the Conservatives have now started to remove items from the bashing Dion website which shows that it should not have been up in the first place. People may think that Harper is innocent here but I for one am convinced that he is not innocent at all and should be taught a lesson when it comes to election day which I might add is October 14th. I for one cannot wait till the next scandal that will be arising within the Conservative campaign...GO LIBERALS GO!!!!!


The latest blunder in the gaffe-prone Harper campaign has cost the Conservatives their communications director. The party moved swiftly Thursday to suspend Ryan Sparrow over a partisan swipe at a dead soldier's dad. Sparrow was disciplined for implying that Jim Davis's criticism of Prime Minister Stephen Harper was politically motivated.
Davis, who lost a son in Afghanistan, had complained that Harper's surprise announcement Wednesday that all Canadian troops will be out of Afghan mission in 2011 was "irresponsible."

He said his son will have died in vain if Canada pulls its troops out of the country before the mission is complete. In an email to a reporter, Sparrow noted that Davis was a supporter of deputy Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff. The inference was that Davis was complaining because he was a Liberal.

Harper spokesman Kory Teneycke said the email was "not appropriate." He said Sparrow had been suspended for the duration of the election campaign and ordered to apologize.
Harper deftly tried to turn the controversy to his favour, saying the suspension demonstrates the high standards of behaviour he demands. "I want to make it very clear that I have set a tone and I have set an expectation for this campaign and as leader, I am going to make sure that that is followed all the way to victory," Harper said.

It's the fourth time in the first five days of the young campaign that Harper has had to deal with controversy:
-After threatening to boycott the leaders debate if Green Leader Elizabeth May was allowed to participate, Harper flip-flopped amid public outrage.
-Harper was forced to apologize for a sophomoric Tory website ad showing a bird pooping on Liberal Leader Stephane Dion.
-The Conservatives were forced to admit that a Halifax candidate resigned after it was learned she had a criminal record.
The Liberals jumped on the latest controversy, saying a series of "flip-flops, gaffes and misinformed attacks" have left Harper's campaign in disarray.
