Harper ineffective in same-sex debate
When he set out to fight the same-sex marriage bill, Conservative leader Stephen Harper gambled that he could do so without his party coming across as homophobic.

By the end of the battle in the House of Commons, that perception had become the least of his problems.

While the parliamentary debate has largely been reasoned, it has also exposed disquieting gaps in the logic of the Leader of the Official Opposition.

Harper emerges from the same-sex marriage debate looking less ready for political prime time than when he entered it.

1. He is drinking the Rove juice. Harper runs around and announces
that it is not a legitimate vote because the block Quebecois was involved. Huh?

This from a man who was trying to vote with the Block to kill a budget bill and force an election.

He has hit lift off. He makes no more logical sense. He is just spoon feeding the minds of his nasty followers who bridge the missing logic with hatred.

***hole!

2. I always thought Harper was incompetent but I didn't think he
was so totally inept, so totally unable to understand 'the will of the people', so totally able to self-destruct in so short a time. I LOVE articles like this one, stark truths with no sugar-coating.
