Drive the freepers crazy: Harper called himself a 'democrat' last night!

[tuvor]

In his victory speech, he stated, "All of our parties have different philosophies, but we are all democrats."

Now, we know what he really meant, but the..."nuance" might just be lost on bushkissers. And seeing that Harper said it, perhaps a few brains will explode in confusion.

Just a silly thought.

3. And Joementum he shall discover.

Keep your parkas handy for next winter's election.

Edit: seriously, though, there's one thing that separates Harper from Bush, even though Harper's a radical conservative in sheep's clothing (notwithstanding that he'll need to keep that under wraps in Canada, and WILL actually take positions consistant with the centrist wing of the US Democratic Party). Harper's a citizen. He didn't spend his life milking his father's fame and fortune with a spoon up his nose.

2. You assume they bothered to listen to or read his speech

I assure you their take on the election does not go beyond "hahaha the anti-American LIEbruls LOST and the Conservatives WON, HELL YEAH Jauques Chirac is no longer President of Canada!!!"

4. poor Stephen can't use one of the right-wingers' favourite lines

"This isn't a democracy, it's a republic." Never could figure out what the point was supposed to be, myself.

Maybe Stephen could take to saying "this isn't a democracy, it's a constitutional monarchy" and really make their heads explode.
