Smoking gun vs Ballistic report.

Yesterday sometime I came across a blog (wish I could credit where I found it) from an NDP supporter that put out an argument against an NDP, Liberal, and Green party Coalition. In the Blog calles "Straight Goods" they point out a number of things quite correctly, which I have been finding bloggers (even on both sides obviously) have seen but have neen severely lacking in the Main Stream Media.

Case in point, when have you heard the media say that the Opposition parties are trying to invalidate the 2011 election results so there may be need of ANOTHER election?  Not that it isn't out there, Pat Martin from the NDP said as much in his frist speech (found at the bottom of this lawsuit filed by RackNine) "hundreds ofthousands of phony phone calls by the Racknine rascals it makes you wonder about the legitimacy of the Conservatives 39% Majority Mandate". The endgame seems pretty clear.

But I digress; my point was not about lack of media integrity/awareness, but how the mentality of the Left and Right differ.  I read in the past few days: "The left is very vocal and run on emotions. The right are silent and run on rules and facts. The left likes disarray and dysfunction, the right likes peace and order." (Found here.) The truth in this is quite apparent to me, as I have chance to interact with young people whos views are predominantly Left. The instant "Harper should be in jail" posts I see confirm a sharp lack of logic, and/or respect for the rule of law, which I myself hold quite dear.

Look at this like it were a CSI case: Where the Opposition (Lib, NDP) have a smoking gun sitting on Conservative's lap, as Bob Rae likes to say, the Government (Tories) are waiting for the ballistics report so they can catch a criminal and actually convict him.  However  waiting for the results of an investigation doesn't actually do the 2 things this "scandal" is intended: 1. It is intended to tarnish the reputation of the Conservatives through rhetoric and hyperbole that is so easily ingested by the "anything but Conservative" Harper Haters lefties. 2. It is to try to invalidate the 2011 election and send us to the ballot boxes again.

Right now all the Opposition has is allegations, speculations and assumption. Even if the truth is able to come out, after how difficult the left has made the investigation with the solicitation of "complaints", at best there will be an individual, maybe even a small renegade group at fault. At worst they will find out that it was actually the Opposition themselves that is at fault. Bottom line is that the "evil" Stephen Harper was more than likely unaware of any of it, nor were any of the Tory MPs.

I believe we should get to the bottom of this, find the truth, and punish the resposible. However if we had Bob Rae and Pat Martin's way, all the Conservatives would be in jails (which they are supposedly against) and we would be going back to the polls for another election.
