Hey jackass: I work my ass off and I’ve never let it get in the way of getting a higher education. Are you telling me that only the uneducated work hard?

philosoraptor,

That is a profound analysis but hasn’t Marx been dead for a long time, in theory and in practise? If doing honest hard work makes one “idiotic, uneducated” then so be it. As for the “uber-wealthy class”, you might want to go out and research who really is the bourgeoisie. If you do, you will find that it is primarily the public and private pension funds.

The conservatives, on the other hand, get the idiotic, uneducated members of the working class that don’t realize when they’re being used, and the filthy uber-wealthy class (top 0.5%) that are more than happy to do the using. And…everyone is white. And religious.

Oh yeah, you guys are really a big tent party. That base is just blowing up for you.

The professional/affluent ridings in Toronto of Forest Hill and Rosedale do the same.

Remember what Don Henley sang;

Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice Inside my head said, “Don’t look back. You can never look back.”
