I usually ignore people like you, Mel, but I'm tired tonight and
you've pissed me off, so I'm posting this against my better judgement.

You spout drivel about voting for a party with the vision and
leadership to get us out of this mess, but you seem to conveniently
ignore who it was that got us here in the first place. For better or
worse, Mel, elections are about the past as much as the future. You
seem to have embarked on a "Forget the Past" strategy, which is always
the last resort of a party which has buggered things up so badly they
have no other strategy to which to turn.  The last party I remember to
try this was the federal Conservatives under Kim Campbell; I bet
that's a pretty ugly thought, isn't it, Mel? Now I don't have any
great respect for the Libs, in fact the idea of voting for Gordo makes
my skin crawl. But the alternative (i.e. five more years of
mismanagent and ineptitude) is just too ghastly to contemplate.  If
you and your party think for one second this bag of crap masquerading
as a platform will wash with British Columbians, the whole stinking
bunch of you truly are dumber than a bag of hammers.

There, I feel better now. I await your response with bated breath.
