I just saw this video on Youtube.

As a long time Tory supporter (voted for Harper in the most recent Federal election), it disturbed me to see the way Hudak and his party ousted Norm Sterling, a long time member of the Conservative family.

He held many Cabinet portfolios and was truly a hard working and honest politician, if ever there was one.

I saw this video and it reaffirmed my position this election, I will either be staying home with the many in my family who feel the same way, or will do what I dread and support the libs….I dont want to see Tim Hudak lead this province. He is not a leader but a dishonest and uncompassionate person.

I also saw these articles this morning…

Hudak’s Tea Party connections

New Tea Party link to Hudak campaign revealed

TORONTO, Sept. 1, 2011 /CNW/ – Tim Hudak’s campaign is importing their campaign strategy from the right wing extremist Tea Party movement, bringing in strategist Michael Prell.

Prell, the owner of Sterling Communications, sells himself as a “strategist for the Tea Party Patriots” and lists Hudak campaign manager Mark Spiro as his “best friend and business partner.” (Acknowledgements, Underdogma, BenBella Books, 2011)

Before joining the Hudak campaign, Prell worked with many Tea Party politicians, including recently receiving a book endorsement from Michelle Bachmann.

The extreme right wing Tea Party movement in the US is routinely exposed for lying, being incoherent, vacuous and deeply divisive.

Yesterday former PC Premier Ernie Eves decried that Hudak’s PCs are becoming “the Tea Party version of Ontario politics,” pointing to how Hudak and right wing extremist MPP Randy Hillier ousted long-time progressive Conservative MPP Norm Sterling.

As usual, Hudak tried to weasel out of responding to Eves’ charge.


Ernie Eves on Tim Hudak: you’ve brought the Tea Party to Ontario

Since the weekend, Hudak’s fart-catchers had been frantically scrambling to keep Ernie Eves’ incendiary speech under wraps.  Or, failing that, they were desperately trying to persuade Hudak’s former boss to decline to repeat his condemnation of what the PC Party has become.

They failed.

So much for Timmy’s plan to get a week’s head start on the election, and some good coverage.
