I don't trust Iggy, but at least I understand him more than Dion. I

f there's an election coming up, I'm going to vote for the Conservates because I can't take the risk of having another FUKEN coalition.

I really want to support Iggy... but this sounds like, well, hot air. What is he saying? I thought the coalition already blew the whistle on the Cons. probation? So now the message is that the budget is flawed, but we'll give it a shot and get the Harper gov't to report to us? That just doesn't cut it!!!

(lost what I was going to put originally)

The way Layton and Duceppe make it sound, Iggy is out to out Dion Dion.

Harper is afraid of the Coalition (Layton, Iggy with Duceppes approval) and may get reckless if he figures that the threat of a Coalition no longer exists. We will know in March whether the Coalition has truly fallen apart or whether Iggy is playing the part of Robert Redford in The Sting in an attempt to get Harper to take his sweater off.

Agree with you - Iggy is doing a pretty good Eva Braun impression. Strange, though, that Obama officially announces his Feb 19 visit to Ottawa today - if he is anything like the Queen, an early defeat would make him change his plans.
