Introducing Heard Around Liblogs, the portion of our show where we take a look around Liblogs and find something mockworthy, or, in this case, a Liberal dumping all over Dalton.
"The oft whispered but not vocalized truth amongst Ontario Liberals, federal and provincial, is that the Premier, Dalton McGuinty, has unfortunately become somewhat of a toxic asset. Beyond friends employed directly by Queen’s Park, reliant on the good graces of the Premier’s cadres, the name McGuinty has become a curse amongst Liberals and the bulk of our supporters amongst the public at large. Be it the poorly waged HST campaign or a litany of other issues maligned against our provincial leader, fairly or unfairly, the name is not exactly a draw politically at the moment....
.....Moreover with a provincial election in the offing next fall in Ontario and anti-McGuinty ads filling the airwaves even the core Liberal base has soured on using the brand, much in the same way Stéphane Dion was hurt by a negative image war in 2008 (if not moreso)."
You are in a world of trouble, Dalton.
And the truth is, can you find 5 liberals that are not 'Beyond friends employed directly by Queen’s Park, reliant on the good graces of the Premier’s cadres' in Ontario, either directly or as consultants
ReplyDeleteI believe that after the election we will be able to find far more than 5 Liberals who will have to look elsewhere, besides Queen's Park, for employment.
