So you've got a party that says they'll take your money and give it to the poor, and a party that says they'll be fiscally responsible but lie, take your money, and give breaks to people who don't need them.
.... and the latter is the lesser of two evils?
Colour me confused.
If people who self-identify as conservatives would hold the feet of their elected representatives to the fire, instead of rewarding them for lying, then maybe, just maybe, you could end up with someone who's worth voting for.
And in case anyone is wondering, I'm what generally passes for a conservative up here. To a Canadian that means universal education and health care, and a social safety net, but not being so irresponsible that people on Welfare can take a vacation on the backs of the taxpayer. I believe in being compassionate, but fiscally responsible, as a nation.
