I don’t know about you, but if someone tells me they’re going to play a ‘new con’ on me, I keep my hand on my wallet.

The republicans deserved to lose.
BTW, neo- means renewed. It’s actually a good prefix. I like it.

A representative of the Liberals has said that Harper is only postponing the inevitable — he’ll be gone by February and good riddance to bad rubbish.

I confess I don’t follow Canadian politics closely, but I was made aware of Harper because he tapped some of the Bush Gang to run his campaign and still gets back-channel advice from them — in other words, he is a neocon in a world that is rejecting that philosophy.

Perhaps Harper can buy a luxury home in Dallas down the street from Junior — they can then sit together by the pool and revise history at their leisure.
