Another Sign of the Squirming Masses Beneath Harper's Thumb

Vote Marriage Canada is endorsing candidates.

Lovely - the "omigod, gays can't marry" crowd is at it again this time throwing their weight behind individual candidates in this election.

Of course, we are talking about the crowd with Elsie Wayne, Pat O'Brien and Grant Hill trying to legislate their morality so that the rest of us will see the wisdom of their ways.

Taking a brief look at the "endorsements", I see that (no surprise) mostly CPC candidates are being backed by this particular lobby group. Of course, they try to appear non-partisan by not showing the party affiliation of each candidate - but the arithmetic isn't exactly difficult.

Eyes open people - at the beginning of the election, Harper opened the can of worms on marriage. I've asserted all along that just underneath the veneer of unity in the CPC is a squirming mass of ugliness jockeying for control.


If the Liberals needed a topic to beat the CPC over the head with - it's just been handed to them again, and the timing is just right. (Of course, the Liberal campaign's state right now is such that they aren't exactly in any shape to do much, I suspect)
