   Yep, my vote is anti-Harper, Calgary Southwest no less.  Don't have to worry   
   if the MP is in allignment with the PM or not.  I also can see why people   
   displike Dion, considered him too.  But I like leaders than can answer 5th   
   grader questions.  Laytoon, looked at him and like May, what a joke.

   Dion was part of the ad-scam government and in a position he should have   
   know or particiapted in it.  Either that or to stupid to comprehend.

   No independents in Calgary Southwest, so voting Libertarian.  They are the   
   only party I have that isn't promising to frivolously spend more of peoples   
   tax dollars that is conceivably and rationally believable.   
      
   Screw Harpo, Laytoon, Dion, May and the Bloc.... I do not have the "beat me,   
   tax/steal from me all to hell" with smile on my face.
