Republican Interference? ~ The View from the Front Porch Looking North ~ This is Not just Voter Engagement


Has Harper Crossed the Line?

Julius Caesar Crossed the Rubicon 
on January 10th, 49 B.C.
which turned out to be One river too far.
So, why do modern men still cross lines
that Precipitate their Own Undoing?
Why is Noone talking about the Conservative's Relationship with Front Porch Strategies? 

To me, their tell-tale shared backward looking Ideology and all that they both promote sheds light on the very heart of the Robocon Scandals that include not only Tele Town Halls as well as  Robocalls, but a whole litany of other unreported activities. 
Front Porch Who? ~ Who Are They? 
There is lots of evidence to be gleaned from some of Front Porch Strategies own gloating rhetoric and many incidences of both unilateral and mutual congratulation and mindless glad-handing. These are obviously not just business relationships and just as obviously are rooted in the same dark Right wing Ideology that Most Canadians would not tolerate if it was revealed to them.

There is much more than an exchange of services happening here. There is much in this relationship that speaks of  a growing connection between the Harper Conservatives and the  Right, American Conservative Movement. A look at some of the Issues that Front Porch Strategies promotes shows a very close relationship to the American Religious Right and the big money of the Republicans and shows their passionate interest in dredging up a lot of issues that Canadians have long since felt were already settled. Many of them are issues that even Harper claims are already settled. According to Harper for instance there is no reason or plans to resurect the abortion debate. 



Here are just a few screen shots taken from the very public facebook Page of Front Porch Strategies. Just a few pictures to whet your appetite.
What is the Heartbeat Bill? ~ This from the Companies official Public Facebook page:

So what other issues do they promote? Well they are seemingly in lock-step with the Harper government's views on Israel vs. Palestine and openly lobby on Facebook for more support for Israel, and less consideration for Palestinians and are clearly promoting a very unbalanced approach. 

So? Who Do They Do Work For?


I am having a hard time to decide which clip of Newt Gingrich best typifies his incredibly dangerous and dismal Ideology. Should I raise his racist rants? Should I talk about his stupid take on taxes, his attacks on Muslims, or his outrageous treatment of both of his ex-wives? There are just so many clips, and so little time. Of course all of those topics are open game in america.  And again I want to ask you to ask yourself if you think that any company that so actively and passionately promotes nothing but Right wing Ideologues is not very likely to have more than just a business relationship with those who share that Right Wing Ideology?

At any rate I picked this clip because it shows how very practical he can be. This was just moments after his having lost the Republican Primary on 
Jan. 31st, 2012 in Florida: (Unofficial 100 percent) Mitt Romney 46.42 percent (775,014), Newt Gingrich 31.9 percent (533,117), Rick Santorum 13.3 percent (222,799), Ron Paul 7 percent (117,104), other 1.3 percent (21,613). ).

Beware the loser that will promise you the Moon! 


Wondering Why the Christian Alliance seems so familiar?
Harper looking None too Happy
to be photographed
outside of Alliance Church
"About two decades ago, Harper shifted away from the mainline Protestant denominations of his father and began finding a home in the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church, which has about 2.5 million members and 14,000 congregations worldwide. One fifth of its members live in North America, with Alberta a Canadian hotbed.

Since Harper moved in 2003 to Ottawa, he has been attending the capital city's Christian and Missionary Alliance Church, called East Gate, under the guidance of Pastor Bill Buitenwerf.

On the outside, RockPointe Church looks like a bunker. On the inside, it's a cavernous auditorium with no crosses, altar or pulpit. Instead it has a "stage" on which its many pastors champion conservative moral values while strolling like casual talk-show hosts, remarking on how "cool" things are, exclaiming "Right on!" and referring to adherents as "You guys."

Trask believes the more than 2,000 evangelical Protestants in his thriving church, as well as most of the 2.5 million evangelicals across the country, are enthusiastic supporters of his old friend, the prime minister.

And yet Another Contradiction by Front Porch Strategies who have Categorically Denied that they even Make
A link to the FPS Video
So, do you still think that the Harper Government has no idea what went on with all the calls that they paid for during the election? 
They seem pretty damned well organized to me, even taking the time to thank the company that was kind enough to bring American attitudes and issues right to their door. Are you comfortable with front Porch Strategies importing their Pro-life and Anti-Palestine campaign here?




They do as you may remember, also promote Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum. 

    What Could Be Less Canadian Than That? 



I just wanted to add one final worry about this American Right wing spin machine. They have been saying for a week that they do NOT do Robocalls and only did Tele-Town-Halls on behalf of the Conservatives. As you have just seen that clearly is the case. Oddly they still deny having such capabilities, but they need to be careful what they say on publicly on Facebook.

2012 Canadian Election Crimes ~ Silly Conservatives ~ Three Strikes ~ You're Out!

Actually polling at 91% Yes ~ 7% NO
Have Conservatives Cheated in a Third Election?
Stay Tuned. 
Once again, the Conservatives have been caught in a scheme that they are going to be calling "Voter Suppression." I will be using harsher words. But it will all come down to the words we use.

OK, two hours into the story and yes, there he is, that familiar Reform riddle and odd artefact, Pierre Poilievre of "Administrative disputes" and Contempt hearing fame. They dug him out of hiding to give us his robotic polemic and tiresome mumbologue. Poilievre repeated today about eight times: "We ran an ethical Campaign and a clean campaign. We do not believe in 'voter suppression'. If we find out who did this they will face the full force of the Law. Bull kent Mr. Polyester.

This was not voter suppression any more than the "In and Out" was an administrative dispute. It spite of Poilievre's pitiful claims to frame that Election crime as such. He in fact said it almost a hundred times in Public and obviously many more in rehearsal.

Sorry Pierre, It was voter fraud, organized in 18, and now they are saying 27 ridings. Only 'known' opposition voters were called by an automatic dialling system. They were told that they were being called by elections Canada and that there was higher than normal turnout and that they had been re assigned to another polling station. That other station did not exist.

The Opposition Weighs In

Harassing or misleading automated campaign phone calls have been linked to a company (RackNine from Edmonton Alberta) that did campaign work for Conservative candidates, including Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

"The NDP is calling for a full-scale investigation into a dirty-tricks campaign apparently aimed at suppressing the Liberal vote during last spring's election campaign.

Interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae says the whole Conservative approach to politics should be scrutinized.

Interim NDP Leader Nycole Turmel says the tactics are a disgrace and those responsible must be held to account. "Cynical, old-style politics have become a trademark for the Conservatives," she said."

This was an obvious conspiracy of some sort and anyone who suggests that a scheme this big and this tightly focused could be the work of 'a few good men' is mistaken or lying.  and when the perpetrators are found, there will be criminal charges. I've been waiting since it happened on election day to give elections Canada the time it needed to have this issue surface.


Pierre, You were the most contemptuous of any of the posse during the Contempt Issue. Full force of the law, eh? You are not the only one who claims to think so. Let's start with this Pat Martin and John MacCallum reaction, and I'll be back!



Remember this Name!  RackNine! They made the Calls.

UPDATE: FRIDAY~ CONS FIRE SOMEONE!
THE CONS HAVE FIRED SOMEONE! The Cons have run over someone with a BUS! One down and 102 to go! Lol! This will be the end of it from their side of the Story! But we know it took more than one to do this. He would not have had that much info to share. It goes much much farther up. But that will not stop them from saying "there we fixed it."

OTTAWA — "Different Parliament Hill media sources are reporting that a Guelph man has left his job with the Conservative Party of Canada in connection with robo-dialling phone mischief in the last election.
The Globe and Mail reported Friday that Michael Sona, a Conservative parliamentary staffer who worked on the federal election campaign in Guelph, resigned Thursday evening from his position as Conservative MP Eve Adams' assistant. The Huffington Post, an online new service, asserted Sona was fired but offered no confirmation of that from the party.

Sona, 23, was the communications director for Guelph Conservative candidate Marty Burke during last year’s federal election campaign. Attempts to reach Sona, Adams, or Burke for comment Friday have not led to any comment from them.

News of Sona’s alleged break from his job with Adams comes days after a Tory robocall scandal erupted. There is no public evidence Sona had any link to the matter,which is being investigated by Elections Canada."

It's like saying, We caught that guy.... "Anonymous".
This was not done by a single man it was done by a huge dedicated organization, with a plan and a budget, but if Rack9 Co-operates, any of the little myths that the Cons like to spread, like "calling Election fraud, Voter Suppression, will be laid bare. Stay tuned.
Shit Harper Did!
