Conservatives flip-flop so much their backs must ache

CTV.ca had an article on their site yesterday in which they quoted Conservative House Leader Jay Hill as saying this when it comes to the suggestion of a new non-confidence motion:

"As long as we have this loaded gun sitting there, they're going to have to take it seriously. The minute I say to you, or to anybody, `We're definitely not going to even try a non-confidence motion,' then they're not going to take Parliament seriously at all.''

This after he said that if the Liberals won a non-confidence motion they wouldn't try to bring them down for the rest of this session. This obviously leads to the question: "Mr. Hill, do you ever get tired of changing your mind?" They may have a loaded gun, but what they don't seem to realize is that WE'RE LEADING IN THE POLLS. So go ahead, pull that trigger, bring it on! I double dare you! A new confidence vote would only reinforce what Canadians already believe about Steven Harper: that his lust for power far exceeds any desire he may (may being the key word there -Ed.) have to do good for the people of Canada. Not to mention it would plunge us into a summer election, and we all know how popular those are in Canada. We only get 2 months of summer as it is, so most of us don't want to spend half of it listening to politicians, and the Liberals would make him eat that for dinner the whole campaign.

And as for not taking Parliament seriously, they're the ones who filed a bogus non-confidence motion and tried to pass it off as genuine, they're the ones who motioned to shut it down early three days in a row, and they're the ones who then tried to dissolve it completely. They've treated Parliament worse than even the Bloc Quebecois. I frankly don't know how much less seriously a party can take Parliament, unless they all collectively unzipped their flies and took a leak on it's steps.

In closing I'd like to say I think the chances of them calling another vote of non-confidence is slim, but on the other hand it wouldn't shock me given the brainpower (or lack therof -Ed.) currently running the Conserative Party.
