Train Wreck

There is and old saying "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt". I guess the same thing could be said about "being a criminal” and it is likely that this is the reason Herr Harper has told all his delegates to avoid political election debates, he realizes that not many of them will be as accomplished a liar as he is, and some of them might actually have a few morals or heaven forbid a conscience and spill the beans or the dirt as it were. Nothing says it like Jim Flaherty’s face when Herr Harper had his infamous "I did not have sex with that woman” moment and Jim Flaherty’s head literally exploded, some pictures literally do say a thousand words and Herr Harpers denial of his knowledge and involvement of the Duffy bribe furnished a picture that will haunt Herr Harper till the end of time. Realistically what can any Conservative say in a debate that isn’t a lie or something that will get him thrown under a bus, and it doesn’t matter really what the question is about the economy, transparency, corruption, bad decisions on everything from Senate appointments to environmental stewardship, to murdered women, to secret deals with foreign governments and corporations, how about Canada’s very sovereignty or C-51 and privacy rights or the lost $3.1 billion dollars etc etc, it doesn’t matter where the debate takes you they have to either play the fool or lie, using the Crime Ministers own words, not a good premise to bring to a debate, if there is a silver lining to this train wreck of a government I can not see it and I can only wonder what in Herr Harper’s desperation will he do to cling to power.
