BushHarper.com is a website created by the Liberals to expose how similar Bush and Harper is. Great! Except that it’s poorly executed.
All that’s on the site is a picture of Harper and Bush shaking their dirty hands and two YouTube videos. The potential for this site is great and it would have been so much better had they created a website that totally believed that Bush and Harper are indeed running for office. If they put up more content than just two videos the site could be something that goes viral in Canada. Still, the videos have a good number of views since they were uploaded on Oct. 1 with 18,514 and 9,439 views respectively.
The videos also play as attack ads against Harper and are blatantly supporting the Liberals. Had the videos been all about the “good” things that the two neo-cons have done it would have more effect. It could attack the very root of what’s wrong their policies. But I guess by doing that the Liberals would also be criticizing their own stances albeit indirectly. We can’t forget that Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin were the ones who helped set the stage for neoconservatives in Canada.
Here are the videos from the site:
On the economy:
Fast forward to the two minute mark to see some dude faint then watch as nobody helps him for another twenty seconds. The conservatives literally never lend a helping hand to anyone. Well, that;s not true - they help those poor corporations.
Calgary Centre Conservative Lee Richardson got caught talking to the media and his racism shone through. I have no idea why Harper would stop his MPs from talking to the media, not idea whatsoever.
“Particularly in big cities, we’ve got people that have grown up in a different culture,” he said. “And they don’t have the same background in terms of the stable communities we had 20, 30 years ago in our cities … and don’t have the same respect for authority or people’s person or property.”
He later added: “Talk to the police. Look at who’s committing these crimes. They’re not the kid that grew up next door.”
