3. No, we still use paper and pencil

but he's done everything else to ensure that he wins. He's just rewritten the elections act, gerrymandered districts, robocalled liberal voters just before the last election telling them that their polling place was somewhere else. Every dirty trick in the book. His party has the corporate donations and they advertise constantly whether there's an election or not. With all that, he won a solid 39% "majority" which gave him the mandate to run roughshod over the country. That's because the stupid ass liberals and NDP are too busy splitting the left and they allow him to win time after time.

Idiots, sometimes I think they're just as stupid as he is evil. The NDP who I've always supported recently called asking for money and I told them no way, there is no use unless they get together with the liberals and decide to get rid of Harper before he destroys the country. The young fellow that called told me he heard that from everybody and he was passing it along.
