Paleface Politics

They say that Michael Jackson looks the same in death as he did in life, not unlike the pale character of today’s conservative politics.
The recent leadership race in the provincial conservative party confirmed the narrow vision and glad-happy ideas of our ‘Progressive’ Conservatives who seem only too willing to follow the same path they took us on during Ernie Eves reign of red.
Unhindered by any higher moral and ethical scruples, newly elected conservative leader Tim Hudak, used the same socially liberal election team that are hostile to social/fiscal conservatives. Hudak is too young, too inexperienced and too close to his friends in Toronto to give a darn about rural Ontario. He will continue with the same big government spending, pleasing big public sector unions and over-regulating us as our previous conservative/liberal/NDP leaders did.
Delegate thinking, during the leadership race, was to support the candidate who has the best chance of winning in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). It doesn’t matter if he may have the intellect of a frozen horse turd, (think Dalton McGuinty), he just needs the ability to dance with the public sector unions, wave the rainbow/environmental flag and toss a few crumbs to rural folks. We’ve seen it all over and over again. Look what happened to our federal Canadian Alliance Party policies after the red Tory invasion.
For anyone who paid attention, Randy Hillier was the only candidate who spoke about true conservative values, the only one to call for a return to what real conservative policies should be instead of the liberal-lite, soft middle ground that leaves voters confused and leaving the party. Even our MPP, John Yakabuski turned his back on rural candidate Randy Hillier to vote for Tim Hudak. It won’t soon be forgotten.
So where does all this leave us who want real conservative social and fiscal values along with smaller government? Who do we turn to when the liberals, conservatives and NDP all march in the same parade? Provincially we need a person and party with real rural values who will go to Queens Park and demand change without kowtowing to anyone. We don’t need a party that’s based in Toronto to suit only big city desires.
It's time for a change and the Family Coalition Party looks better every day.
As we saw about 10 years ago when we dumped 70 years of liberal rule, Renfrew County is willing to change it’s voting pattern so a new party has a credible chance if they don’t make the mistake of inviting any red Tories.
It’s time to bury paleface politicians and their parties who keep pretending to be something they’re not.
