Harper's targeting his base with patented misoganjy, doesn't want any reporters making his oldtimers a laughing stock with their quavering theorizing about marihuana [sic] getting into your DMA, or causing sexuality, or being a Northern Gateway drug. His base is probably confused enough already, no sense making it worse by asking them what they mean---and getting their answers on tape.
Fletcher's missive this week advises true believers that political pundits and news media are the enemy, and that there are only two positions to take in this election. This is what the base is getting from the inside---the right side, as far as they're concerned; the rest is satanic illusion. Cons are cultivating a strong dislike for us gigglers, even though they're in the minority. It's as though initiates are assured mystical powers to thwart us marajoritarians.
None of this stuff looks designed to make inroads into new camps of support. One has to wonder why reinforcing the same old calcified sermon takes priority, and why Con goons have to so keenly invigilate incessant proselytism that should't be necessary for the supposed converted. Harper's looks worried about his all-important base for some reason.
Northern Gateway Drug......Love it.That's what the con's are feeding their base but what they're actually getting is oregano not the real deal.Actually it's not even oregano it's ,well, you know.
Wed, 10am Follow-up...

Scotty, my keyboard was sprayed with tea after I tried drinking while reading your comment.
I believe mischief is in your DMA.
BTW, I think the Conservative Party is planning on running this video as the election draws near:
Reefer Madness trailer
We all know what will result from using soul-destroying marihuana: debauchery, violence, murder, suicide...
