I couldn't disagree more! He writes:<br /><br />"2:16<br />Comment From Jeffrey Simpson <br />The conservative world split apart, and Stephen Harper was part of the splitting. The Reform Party was a part of the old Progressive Conservative Party with a few new policies and a new leader, Preston Manning. Its rise broke up the conservative world, or political tribe if you like. Mr. Harper was part of the group that split up the tribe. Later, he -- and others -- put together what they had broken asunder inside the Conservative Party. Today's Conservative Party is Brian Mulroney's Conservative Party minus forty seats from Quebec. And I guarantee you that if this Conservative Party had 40 seats from Quebec, it would be a different party, quite likely even more centrist."<br /><br />While I don't doubt that 40 Quebec MPs would change the dynamics in the Con caucus, the current Con Party is NOT Brian Mulroney's Tories minus 40 seats from Quebec!<br /><br />This post on the Rovian politics of the Con party is a case in point. Simpson just doesn't get how different this bunch of people are -- they are more radical and less benign than the original Reformers like Deb Grey and Co. Do Ontario still harbour illusions about Mike Harris and his crew? The worst of his lot are key Harper men now; they are nothing like anyone in Mulroney's cabinet that I can recollect...<br /><br />Would love to hear your reaction to this Emily...Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802413388410295231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180592942896724433.post-77004008142242444222011-05-10T17:29:03.966-04:002011-05-10T17:29:03.966-04:00A note to impartialists: Watch the groupthink.

The first time around, we could forgive them. After all, we assumed, they didn't know the real Bush. In 2004 they had no such excuse.<br /><br />He was never elected, with Rove's help, twice the elections were stolen.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02977724025090922473noreply@blogger.com
