The Canadian Conservative Party…well, let’s just say I wish our conservatives were more like this. Truth be told, the Conservative Party in Canada is pretty close in ideology to the Liberal Party, especially when it comes to the economy, but they differ when it comes to social issues. But upon further examination it’s easy to conclude that the differences the two main Canadian Political Parties have when it comes to social issues (abortion, gay marriage, etc.) aren’t really that far apart at all. For example, the leader of the Conservative Party, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, is against gay marriage but not against civil unions. Wait a minute…that’s the so-called Conservative Party? In America that was Howard Dean in 2004, and I think we all remember how he got treated. Harper has even gone so far as to state that while marijuana possession should still be illegal, it should be fined rather than result in imprisonment. How ’bout those northern Conservatives! I’m sure there’s a lot I’m leaving out here and since I don’t live in Canada (yet), I’m sure someone out there will criticize me for this, but social issues in Canada don’t appear to really provoke the same level of anger that they do here in the States. For social programs, it appears that the problem isn’t whether to fund them or not, but rather how much to give. Crime doesn’t appear to be a huge issue due to their gun laws and lack of gun related deaths, religion doesn’t appear to play that big of a role in government, and from what I hear people don’t lock their doors.
For the most part the two parties are pretty much center to left-center of American politics and couldn’t really exist on a national level here the way that they do in Canada. That suggests to me that Canada, as an entire nation, is more liberal than America. It reminds me a lot of many European nations such as, obviously, Britain but also Germany. Sure, Canada has its problems just like any other place, but it is also a nation of great prosperity with one of the world’s highest per capita incomes.
You're kidding, right? You base your argument on the musings of some guy making political comparisions on his blog? Why on earth should I care what he thinks or give him any more credence than I would give you're own bovine thoughts. Could it be that Canadian Conservatism is the more correct, productive, and inclusive conservatism while the group you refer who, and which also attracts mindless angry sheeple such as yourself, is more the looney fringe?
Thought not.

I don't have to base it on "the musings of some guy making political comparisions" between Canada and the United States.
I am making that decision base on what I have seen, living 16 years in the United States and returning to Canada.
Anyone with a little bit of common sense can see Canada is left of center.

You are kidding, you are citing a communist websites opinion - Obama is a communist sympathizer.

Interesting how you've gone from conservatives to Canada - your argument must be falling apart to begin a new series of generalizations. I would throw out the possibility that Canadian conservatism is more the norm, with your uber right wing evangelical conservatism that you subscribe to is more likely that abnormal. In other words, our conservatism is right of centre while what you follow is very far right.

Hardly. Reworking political definitions to fit your idiotic non-thoughts is another sign of your vapid jackassery.
Keep sitting there cow-eyed and confused - it's one of the better things you can do that also allows for your drooling.

McCain's VP pick Sarah Palin hugs her husband Todd on February 10th, 2008, at the start of the Tesoro Iron Dog, the longest snowmobile race in the world. Palin's Husband Races Across Alaska ABCNews.com August 30, 2008 Excerpt: Each year, they race 1,971 miles through the snow and ice of the Alaskan wilderness, weighed down by sleeping bags, a small tent, a stove that weathers the wind, flares, a hatchet and other gear they'll need to survive if conditions deteriorate.
From Wasilla, Alaska -- the hometown of John McCain's vice presidential pick, Sarah Palin -- northwest to Nome and then east to Fairbanks, two-person teams compete in the Iron Dog, the longest snowmobile race in the world.
While many Washington types and political families might never dream of subjecting themselves to those conditions, that's not the case for Palin and her husband, Todd.
A professional snowmobiler, Todd Palin is a four-time race champion, winning his last title in 2007 with competition partner Scott Davis.
And in the blistering cold, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has been found front and center to cheer him on, long after others have retreated to the warmth of their cars.
"She showed up and waved the flag at the start of the race out there," Jim Wilke, a member of the Iron Dog's board of directors, told ABCNews.com on Friday. "It was 29 below when I pulled up at the lake, out at the starting line."
Palin's family is a real average family unlike the Obama's which is why the Left is going after her, even going as low claiming she's not the mother of her daughter. As for her husband being a professional snow mobile racer, definitely cool!

I guess now everyone on this forum now knows the true CommanderSock, a racist Ass Clown.
CommanderSock if you actually had a vote in the U.S. I would be concerned with your views on U.S. politics, but the fact is you don't and I do. I actually get to help decide who the next President will be..

CommanderSock, you remind me of one of those pesky Jehovah's witnesses knocking on my door, trying to convert me.
It's my vote, and I will cast it any way I desire. McCain 08
Did Obama Kiss Biden's Wife on the Lips at the DNC!?

I'm not trying to convert you to anything. You can vote for who-ever you want I could care less. But you filled these topics with more pictures than soviet war propaganda posters in a recruitment agency in St Petersburg. They are so blatantly biased, all your sources, most of your videos, pictures, etc we get the idea, you like McCain, but ffs...
