If anything was proven in this election it is that Ontario does not tolerate the mean spirited.
Hudak focused on a mean spirited campaign. His 100 thousand job cuts, his focus on Dalton's government was his main stay.

Some how your friendly local neighborhood Conservative spin doctor thinks that focus on the mean spirited is a sure way to get a shyte load of votes.

It's interesting if one looks at this perspective from it's social desirability bias. These people do not pull attack ads and strategy out of a hat. They spend millions , yes millions over years of study to see what is their best shot at their voting block.
In this case the Conservative party of Canada knows their main focus base are the mean spirited.

One of the ways is by drawing from their local vernacular speech. Then they are able to create a venue from which it is easy in accessing data for their research.

All political sides do this and it's disheartening that the Conservatives draw from the mainly mean spirited.



P.S. I posted this already and it did not show up and there is a warning saying I cannot access these forums.????

The truth = Mean spirited?

Hudak ran largely on a platform built around a report commissioned by the Liberal (Drummond). An austerity plan was in place by all parties.

The only difference was, Hudak told Ontarians the truth. The Liberals and NDP hid their cuts in the platform and didn't talk about it.

Spending no more than you earn is a mean spirted idea that's only promoted by bigots, racists, Nazis, global warming deniers, and kitten killers.

Oh good being nice is so dam hard... Not sure how thinking we should spend with in our means and stop burning money considered mean spirited

Is it some "I'm number one" or "Me" generation thing?

It's some sort of psychological affliction typically suffered by leftists who are mathematically impaired.

They think that if you raise taxes high enough you can end poverty with the revenues.

But then they also think high taxes should wipe out income disparities which would reduce tax revenues.

So while they consciously pursue tax policies that will result in reduced tax revenues they simultaneously pursue spending measures that are based upon proposed tax increases on the wealthy.

Spending then inevitably outpaces revenues.

They can't blame themselves, because that would mean admitting they failed, so they pass the blame for their failures on to those people who harbor dangerous and racist notions like that government spending should not exceed government revenues.

Hudak was inept and out of touch, but that's the extent of it.
