One of Ronald Reagan's rules was never to speak ill of other conservatives.
But as we head towards the fall election, three former MPs with Reform, PC, and Conservative Party roots are trash talking Stephen Harper to a far left media outlet. I say they are dancing to the drum of the lefties and not actually helping to fix any of the real problems the Conservatives are dealing with.

READ Brian Lilley's book CBC Exposed -- It's been called "the political book of the year."
Don’t you know that The Rebel is the ONLY media source in Canada that tells the truth?
But there’s many a slip twixt the cup and the lip.
Why do we bother voting when the clairvoyant oracles have all the answers before the ballots are counted.
I’ll be here the day after the election to watch you eat crow pie Jimmy. ;-)
“you got the civil service, or in other words the spending part right”.
Yes, I did.
“Most right wingers are happy to let the abortion issue just go away.”
I refer you to Rick McGinnis’s very interesting article here, http://www.theinterim.com/issues/getting-out-of-the-echo-chamber/, widely picked up, reblogged and retweeted in the Catholic blogosphere among the Lifesite News types. A minority of Conservatives? Probably, which is why I said “many”, not "most.
“Most of us support C-51.”
Most of you certainly do (as do many Liberals). But not the Libertarian stream, which shares the same concerns as the left about the bill’s potential abuse.
“We realize that Harper is just the most recent Prime Minister to make embarrassing senate appointments.”
Sorry, but if you don’t see the raw cynicism and contempt for the Senate required to appoint a Brazeau or a Duffy, I don’t know what to say.
“We mostly get why he hasn’t taken apart the CBC…”
LOL. Uh – that view is clearly not clear to much of the readership here, which is unrelentingly calling for its dismantling.
“These temper and micromanagement issues are, as far as I can tell, completely made up bullshit coming from the opposition.”
Like Tom Flanagan? Don’t you live in Ottawa?
“Do you seriously think any conservatives would vote anything other than Conservative because the current Conservative Party isn’t conservative enough?”
No, I don’t – a point made by McGinnis above. Harper really doesn’t have to respond to caucus for precisely the reason you raise. There IS no credible leadership alternative to him (which is very troubling sign in ANY organization), and no Conservative will vote NDP or Liberal. I agree.
Terry, if you think this video is a “sloppy love song to Stephen Harper” you must be a pretty cheap date! You ever check out the comment sections on political stories over at CBC? It’s positively masturbatory over Justin! One of the reasons I avoid it is because it makes me blush too much! That’s after all the hatred, of course. Lots and lots of hating going on over there. Stay here at theRebel. Feel the love.
I am willing to concede that the right wing media gets it right sometimes – if you are willing to concede that the left wing media gets it rights sometimes. In other words – it doesn’t automatically mean that a news story or article is wrong, because it’s posted in a left or right wing news source. So to further make my point – MacLeans has been factual and completely right countless times during their existence.
Well apparently it does matter how bad Harper is or how much he has fascist like tendencies – because some conservatives are turning against him and are willing to vote NDP just to get rid of Harper.
Enjoy this:

You just don’t get it, Terry. It does not matter how bad Harper is because he is the only one that is even close to PM material and the only one that conservatives (even the disenfranchised ones) can vote for. They certainly are not going to vote for airhead Justin, and voting for Thomas and the NDP is about as abhorrent to a true conservative as voting for Kim Jong-un.
Sad, such greedy, self-centred, narcissistic Jude-asses would sell their mothers to IS for a moment in the spotlight.
There are at least two things happening among conservatives. It can’t be denied that Harper has been a big disappointment to many of his former fans. His refusal to support anti abortion legislation, his astonishing expansion of the civil service, Bill C-51, his embarrassing Senate appointments, his failure to destroy the CBC, his temper, his micromanagement – even on this loyalist site, folks have been pointing out that Harper is taking the support of his base for granted. It’s not surprising that disaffected member are speaking out.
Don’t shoot the messengers, Brian. Focus on the root cause of the discontent.
Isn’t it that all’s fair in love, politics and war. We’ve seen this factional infighting before.
Please do keep exposing them.
