The Conservatives’ cupcake budget

OMG. I was watching the Evan Solomon show today, and there was Julie Fantino making a complete idiot out of himself, by dismissing this poll of CARP members:

62% say it is NOT a budget which benefits older Canadians. 58% say they do NOT agree with the budget overall. 54% say the Opposition Parties should vote against the Budget.

Fantino claimed that he had other numbers . . . and that most seniors don’t use computers anyway. Huh?

Only to have someone from CARP e-mail the show, and inform Fantino that they will make sure ALL their members hear about that one.

And since the Cons are targeting seniors as part of their Plan for Total Domination, I’m sure Stephen Harper will hear about that too, and Julie will be forced to crawl six hundred and sixty six times around Great Angry Leader’s desk . . . backwards. While Harper rides him like a burro.

How tragic eh? Once he was a cop . . . I mean a TOP. Now he’s a bottom. With a persecution complex. Mama Mia.

Seriously though . . . I’m not surprised seniors weren’t fooled by this budget. They know that an extra $1.50 a day won’t help anyone escape from poverty, hunger, or indignity.

And that Jimbo Flaherty’s budget is just like one of those cupcakes, covered with brightly coloured sprinkles. They look very pretty, but they are not very tasty or very filling.

Although I suppose if you’re a nasty little Con gnome like Jimbo.

Even a cupcake can seem ENORMOUS…

And for a hungry senior I suppose it’s better than nothing eh?

Oh boy. What can I say about these Cons that I haven’t said before. Except that it takes a very evil ideology to spend BILLIONS on fancy jet planes, and almost nothing on poor children and seniors.

And you have to be really cruel bastards to do something like this.

From The Globe: Industry Minister Tony Clement has asked his Conservative colleagues in the Senate to vote against an NDP bill that would allow generic companies to copy brand-name drugs and sell them at cut rates to the world’s poorest countries.

You know, I was poking around the net looking for some video I could . . . um . . . borrow . . . to make my low budget attack ads, when I came across a spooky clip that sent an icy chill down my spine.

Because it made me imagine what it would be like if Stephen Harper and his totalitarian Cons ever got a majority.

And we were forced to go on living in their moral darkness.

Or INFERNUM…

    great post funny but true. The Canadian Government needs Canadians to stand up for Canada and defeat the Harper Government, If anything don’t give this man a Majority. Visit http://2011canadavote.blogspot.com/ remember truth does not fear investigation, if you are voting Tory then you are voting Harper so make sure you know what you are voting for.
