Harper Strikes Back

Lately, there has been a concerted effort by some to push Harper out possibly months before an expected federal election campaign. Such a move would literally mean electoral suicide... There is no way to have a leadership race to replace the leader so soon.

Not to mention the fact that you would have to wonder why a party would replace a man that over the last year has raised several times over it's greatest rival in funds, signed up thousands of new members, and already has campaign ads out...

Harper's response? Look Prime Ministerial:

"The Conservative leader who wins, the leader who brings Conservatives together and unites them, is a leader who, frankly, ignores such people.

"It is a leader who does not spend his time attacking other Conservatives, it's a leader who spends his time attacking the Liberals and that's what I intend to do."

Stephen Taylor and Vitor Marciano has more on why these "conservatives" calling on Harper to resign aren't so high profile, and have dubious records of loyalty themselves...

The media feeding frenzy is disgusting. Why bother actually reporting the news when you can frabricate stories and raise meaningless dribble spoken by low ranking members into national news?
