Harper's Conservative cabinet using Bush's "talking points" technique

[glarius]

It's really incredible the way Harper has taken to the George Bush method of controlling his people. I just saw a clip of his cabinet going into a caucus meeting this morning and when they were approached by the media and asked what they thought about Emerson's defection....Amost every one of them said the same thing: "Mr. Emerson will make a great addition to our caucus and to our party." These words were repeated almost verbatim by those who responded. It does seem as if the back benchers might be about to revolt though...hahaha

I posted something similar yesterday with the party line they were parroting then....

1. All parties use talking points...

The Bush analogy is a stretch. All parties issue talking points, and have for decades.

To have your crystal ball.

I keep watching for your predictions about the future.

Keep it up. We need some empirical NDP'ers around here. Although I think that there is a race on for the left I look forward to your outlook.

3. I have never heard anything resembling the way the Conservatives

have their talking points down so fast....IT IS JUST LIKE THE BUSHES....I especially remember seeing Ralph Reed of the Christian Coalition if the U.S.A. on our CTS TV network before our election, telling the Christian rightwingers he was talking to that if they would follow the instructions he would give them, they would elect a conservative government.....
