But unfortunately they take a lot of potential NDP votes from people who vote for the label without reading the ingredients list.rwwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00512582677240907287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9311998.post-6168962348716019192008-09-15T06:56:00.000-07:002008-09-15T06:56:00.000-07:00I think both May/Dion duo are catching the "bird f...I think both May/Dion duo are catching the "bird flu."<BR/><BR/>So turning on this sick table <BR/><BR/>This election is shaping up to be the ballot question of: <EM>the boardroom table vs the kitchen tables.</EM><BR/><BR/><STRONG>And there is a lot more kitchen tables!</STRONG>susansmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02573558646874765432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9311998.post-79053849626644002152008-09-15T04:51:00.000-07:002008-09-15T04:51:00.000-07:00The last I heard, the Greens get their votes from ...The last I heard, the Greens get their votes from the NDP, Liberals, and Conservatives based on the ratio 2:2:1. The problem for the NDP is that when the Greens take votes away, the NDP loses votes from a pool of 15-20% of Canadian voters. From the Liberals and Conservatives, the Greens take away from a Canadian voting pool of 25-40%. Every NDP vote lost has a huge impact on the party.<BR/><BR/>The NDP can get some of those potential Green voters back by having Jack Layton attack Elizabeth May on her lack of knowledge outside environmental issues. What is her stance on different foreign policy issues? While May could fall apart, Layton will show voters that he is prime ministerial like in dealing with international issues.<BR/><BR/>If I could describe the Green Party, it is like Jews-for-Jesus who use Jewish terminology and rituals to practice the Christian religion according to Orhodox Jews. The Greens use environmental terminology to practice classic capitalism.Skinny Dipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12818163310102120130noreply@blogger.com
