Rant Averted

 I was going to rant about the CPC vowing to repeal the Same Sex Marriage bill that was passed last night but I see Andrew did it first and did a much better job as usual:

C-38 passed. You tried your best. Now let the issue die. This great nation has been tied up in knots debating this divisive issue for far too long. The pro-SSM crowd won the day. Yeah, some of their tactics to get this far were dirty and underhanded, but trying to overturn the decision now is political suicide. Stuff like this will ensure that the CPC never forms government.

Ah what the hell. Here's my post anyway.

Mr Harper. Stephen. Steve, can I call you that? Steve.

So this is the hill you have chosen to make your mark on Canadian Politcs. Come hell or high water you are basing your next election on SSM, specifically on repealing the new legislation and replacing it with Civil Unions.

I'll give you one thing: its certainly a bold move.

I mean, the safe moves would have been to hammer the Liberals on Health Care, Military Preparedness, Fiscal Responsibility but I guess you tried that last election and ended up outside looking in.

So its going to be SSM or bust. Ok, fair enough.

Just one question. A quick one, and you can be on your way.

Please answer truthfully Steve.

Do you really think this issue is the one to make inroads in Ontario and Quebec that your party wants and really needs?
