I have been writing on the internet as the Twain Shall Meet for about seven years now. For the first two years I was only on the discussion boards at MSM web pages, and commenting on News articles.
And I have gleaned a fact or two about the conservative base. I don't claim to have ever made any of them less conservative. It seems that that has never been an option. Though I have had countless interactions with the far Right, I don't believe we can change them. Intransigent as they are we can still defeat them and their right wing ideologies, we simply have got to out number them, not on the discussion sites, but at the polls on election day.
When dealing with the far right I have tried to offer links to information that sheds light on the subject and hand. They don't read them.
This was a comment from a CPC supporter on CBC.ca ~ The article was discussing whether harper would prorogue Paliament to hide from the Senate ?PMO scandal.
Blue2DEnd2013/06/10 at 6:04 PM ETOf course they'll recess early. The union-loving NDP think all people need the summer off and the Liberals need a break too to stew about electing the Papineau Pony to run their ship into the ground.
Sometimes I ask questions of them that require them doing research. They generally do not do that research and the questions go unanswered.
BCWorkinman2013/06/10 at 8:01 PM ETeveryone here thumbs ProudAB down but, he is, of course, right. Harper has to take the hit but it is the front line civil servant that has dropped the ball along with their less than satisfactory managers that as yet have not instilled the importance of securing their computers and flash drives. As well, you all hate Harper so much and I find it odd yop don't realize that the civil servants do as well. They do not cooperate with the government of the day if they don't like them and they slow down productivity, lost things or misplace them etc. Meanwhile, because they can't be fired without an act of Parliament short of them committing murder, their managers' hands are tied.
Sometimes I notice them trying to turn the channel. Now, who does that remind you of, eh?
Apparently, All Can Play at the Darker Arts! Share it!
This dark CPC attack ad seems to have disappeared? I'll repost it when I find a copy.

But that didn't STOP Michelle Rempel Con MP from making a fool of herself. in response to this campaign of lies and wrongly attributed quotes and statements place purposely placed out of context. I seem to be having a hard time to get information on her statement though. Send it along if if you have it and I'll add it!
A Progressive friend of minereceived this email! It was totally unsolicited and equally unwelcome! I withheld her name.
The Plot Thickens: Jenni Byrne wasthe CPC National Campaign Manager in 2011. Funny she did say that, isn't it? In all probability there are a lot of questions about Election Fraud and Robocalls that Jenni will be asked to answer, the very moment the Harper Government is no longer in Power. She writes this only to help save her Neo Con Skin. Electing Justin Trudeau is to first step to shedding light On th Harper Night Mare
I Channel Justin and Steve getting to the bottom of things,
The Ex-Ministerof Inter Governmental Affairs has a hard time to keep his story straight these days. No wonder he is reluctant to speak truthfully about it. He actually over spent by a huge amount during the 2011 general election and thereby had to resign in disgrace. And Not only is he no longer a Minister in Stephen Harper's Conservative Government, Peter Penashue (pronounced "Panache away", is no longer a member of parliament. Althought he didn't say at the time, he had resigned just ahead of a deadline set by Elections Canada to come clean or resign. Did he come clean? No, blamed it all on a what he called an an oversight by an"inexperienced volunteer". The volunteer turned out not be volunteering at all and was in fact well paid as Penashue's Campaign Manager, and it turns out much more experienced than Peter Penashue. see
The Odd Part or rather some the odd parts arethat he announced that he was going to run in a By-election even as he resigned? And he starting campaigning before he ever resigned. He announced the by-election before the prime minister said the would need one. And the Scape Goat was attacked by the party thugs in out out of the House of commons and it they insisted that he was indeed a volunteer and inexperienced and had made a honest mistake. He was very incompetent they said.
Turns out the intended scape-goat had already been rewarded by the Conservative Party with a plum job. In spite of his perceived incompetence he was appointed as, well, you better read it.
The federal government has filled a vacant seat on the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board (CNLOPB), offering the spot to the campaign manager for Peter Penashue, the province’s sole Conservative MP. Reginald Bowers of Happy Valley-Goose Bay helped lead the Penashue camp to a 231-vote victory in the 2011 election, preventing a complete Conservative shutout of Newfoundland and Labrador. Bowers has now been named to the body responsible for regulating the province’s offshore oil and gas industry.
(ttSmadds: That the vote was actually a 76 vote "victory". And that '231' is just the PMO's numbers at the time, just spin) The CNLOPB appointment was made by federal Minister of Natural Resources, Joe Oliver.
“Mr. Bowers brings decades of experience in business and economic development,” Oliver stated in a federal government news release Friday. “He will be an asset to the board as it continues to fulfill its mandate.”
Its mandate includes: safety, environmental protection, resource management and industrial benefits. It is responsible or licensing oil and gas developments.
The federal Department of Natural Resources provided no further information on Bowers’ background within its announcement on his appointment. The Telegram requested further information. We have since received the following:
“(Bowers) is an economic development officer with extensive experience in regional economic development. His business experience and educational background have allowed him the opportunity to be heavily involved in consultation processes and gain in-depth knowledge of many government programs and policies. He is active in the community, having participated in numerous local groups and serving on local boards. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce from the Memorial University of Newfoundland.”
Bowers saw fit to resign shortly after this story broke, But I think you get the picture!
Now with the show!
Harper protects the disgraced Minister and MP from Labrador. According to Jamie Watts who crunches the numbers to see who is talking about political stories, The Propaganda Just May Be Working!
Have we found the evidencethat will finally see us reach the tipping point that so many us have been waiting for? Many of us have waited a long time for such evidence, and as accusations that the Harper Government systematically bent or broke many of the rules during the May 2011 election swirl around the country, the Conservatives are crying foul. They say that "There is nothing to see here" or that they are the victims of a smear campaign. Well, one thing that happened today was a Huge Substantiation of the main thrust of the oppositions claims that Harper Broke the law in a Criminal way. They've been calling them Unsubstantiated smears for a while now. Day after day! But it turns out that we now have all the ammo we need to Finally wake Canadians.

Trying? What Does That Mean?
How could they "try" to smear the Harper Government and fail to do so? The evidence that these no-longer Progressive Conservatives are all too willing to do anything to gain and keep power is everywhere. The evidence that they are incompetent on all files in all Departments is everywhere. The evidence that these ReformaCons are absolutely in lock-step with the Grand Old Party of America is everywhere. The evidence is all there for honest and intelligent Canadians to see.
Smearing it All Over the Canadian Consciousness
Should be a Cakewalk.
But it has not been. And the reason is simple: Canadians simply do not believe that anyone could be so dishonest, so deceitful, and so very guilty of such things as election fraud and still be the Government. Canadians, or so the story goes, would never be 'fooled by criminals into electing them'. Canadians are in fact quite mistaken in this assumption and it is all due to the fact that dishonesty, deceit, denial and obfuscation are so foreign to us and the very cornerstones of the Conservative Party of Canada. And those are not the ways of most of us, so we are reluctant to believe that they are really cheating us.
But, if the evidence that CBC's Terry Milewski released Thursday night, is what it appears to be, then that cheating and that election fraud is systemic and systematic and apparently they are very good at it!

Seriously, is this just a smear campaign?
Personally, I have been Smearing the Conservatives Ever Since I First Noticed Stephen Harper. But None of it went Unsubstantiated.
I first started to spread this informationjust before Harper broke his own Fixed date Election law back in late August of 2008.I wrote this list right off the top of my head ~ it contains over 60 issues that pointed to their regressive ideology, and their dismal incompetence. That was almost four years ago. I had not, at the time come to realise the extent to which they were linked to American Right Wing 'Think' Tanks. But that is all public knowledge now.See next blog post.
Here's a comment from CBC.ca referencing that 2008 list!
The very first issue on that long but incomplete listis "In and Out" and it refers to their having cheated democracy during the 2006 federal Election by diverting Money from local campaigns to the Federal one. That was completely outside of the Elections Act and after over five years of saying over and over and over again that it was "an administrative dispute." The Conservatives paid a $52,000.oo fine and just last week dropped their appeal and are paying back $230,000.oo to Elections Canada.
Hell, they even scream "Smear" when anyone suggests that they are not above racial slurs.
In the Current round of the Harper Government's claims that they are being victimised and are the object of unsubstantiated smears, most Canadians now seem to understand that that is not the case. Does that mean that Canadians are actually getting to know Mr. Harper and his dysfunctional caucus? How I wish it did. Not until there is a full Public Inquiry into the RoboCon Affair that gets to the bottom of the tactics used and sheds much needed light on the elements of the Conservative Party that owe their campaign tactics to one of Americas leading right wing hacks, Karl Rove, and leave them and those tactics naked and known to be what they really are, will we have satisfied our curiosity. At that point I believe all those "smears" will have been substantiated. Most previous smears of this Government's name have been.
As far as giving any more information on him and his connection to the hard Right NeoCon Machine here, it is too easy to find out all about him at Wikipedia, to need to say much, but I can show a short clip that illustrates some of the vibe that surrounds him.
Have we been Smearing them when we have said that we worry about their take on Woman's Rights?
Was this video producer Smearing him or his Party? Or is it an indignant but Satirical Statement of Fact?
What is Ozone? The Right honourable Peter Kent explains it to us. This guy really knows his stuff. He didn't even need to read the answer. It is so reassuring to know that this man is on the case. The environment needs men who understand it if we are to continue as a species.
Thank you sincerely Mr. Kent, for your intelligent answer to this vital question.
Update: While we are here, we should look at this as well from 2009 ....At this point, he had another job as minister of State in charge of Abandoning Canadians. Now he abandons the Environment. Anyway, watch this and ask yourself. Is he being honest here?
