Release the Chihuahuas!!

Jeez..


An election hasn’t even been dreamt of yet and already the attack ads start. The federal Conservative party have had their attack Chihuahuas dream up a couple ads attacking Michael Ignattief, the leader of the Liberal party.

The attack Chihuahuas come up with any reason to attack, sometimes even taking the footage they use to attack out of context. Of course, the major message they send out is that Ignattief didn’t come back to Canada for the average Canadian. The question is, of course, if he didn’t come back to serve the Canadian people, why is he in politics? It can’t be the stress-free environment. Can’t be for fame.. Quick, name 6 Prime Ministers.

See what I mean?



The other thing is this: As a voter and a taxpaying citizen of this wonderful land of snow and rock called Canada I tend to not vote for the party that attacks. Attack ads, to me, mean one of two things:

1. The party flinging has no real ideas to help the country

2. They figure by flinging, people will not be reminded of the party’s shortcomings

Heads up to the political parties and their roving bands of attack Chihuahuas on both sides of the border:

• Attack ads are cheap, often below-the-belt jabs at your opponent that have no merit

• Attack ads are employed mainly when the attacker has no ideas that match the person they’re attacking

So really, instead of spending the money on attack ads, think of an articulate answer to the other party’s ideas. Possibly even... Oh, I don’t know... Respond to the issue at hand??

So, Mr Harper, instead of attacking Mr Ignattief, how about coming up with ideas that help the country? Or, how about stating your views on the issues that affect the average Canadian? Or even better yet, stay off my screen, off my TV, and out of my newspaper!

Oh, and one more thing.. You want to send out your attack Chihuahuas? Send ‘em out on your dime. No using my money to pay for them.. Also, don’t forget to scoop afterwards.. Nobody likes stepping in it..
