No the NDP is not like the Democrats. The NDP is much further to the left than the Democrats. They're so left wing, I won't vote for them.
I will admit to voting for Jack Layton when he was the Leader of the NDP, but only because Jack was my city councillor in Toronto, and he genuinely believed in serving his constituents. I've never seen another politician like him.
But Harper had to go. He's the worst Prime Minister we've had since Brian Mulroney- not as bad as Mulroney, but not far off. Harper is so obsessed with balancing the budget in an election year, that he cut spending to the point that the country went into a recession this year.
Give me some examples of how it's possible to be to the left of you, Mrs. Mao
To someone like you who is radically right wing, everyone else is to the left of you. You think Obama, who is a center-right policitician, is a communist. Your perspective is completely off-kilter.
Then can you explain why the US Communist Party supported DumBama for both his elections? Can you explain how they wrote praise pieces in their newsletter on his policies--particularly his views on gun ownership in this country? Can you explain the overwhelming support he got from world dictators before his reelection?
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck....................
Let's see. If you are a radical left winger and you have 2 choices for President, one of whom is very conservative and one of whom is centre right, who are you going to endorse.
I wasn't aware that any foreign leaders endorse American candidates. If I was a leader of a country, I wouldn't want war monger conservatives in power either. Every Republican president since Nixon has invaded a foreign country or escalated a war.
