I do not know how many times the gang-up-on-Harper crew in the Canadian election debate thought that George W. Bush was debating with them.
I wish Stephen Harper had said something like:
"I am not George W. Bush. Nor am I George H.W. Bush. I do not resemble Reggie Bush. I am not as funny as George Carlin."

New Speech for Stephen Harper?

Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new Parliament, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men, women, and others are created equal. On that day, I had a dream - a dream that one day on the red hills of Prince Edward Island, the sons and daughters of former Conservatives and the sons and daughters of current Conservatives will be able to sit down together at a table of brother-daughterhood. Yesterday, September 30th, 2008 - a date which will live in infamy - the Conservative Party of Canada was suddenly and deliberately attacked by rival forces of the Liberal Party of Canada. To that I respond, my fellow Canadians: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.

We choose to go to the polls in this year and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.

For the unelected, we will never forget them, nor the last time we will see them, as they were preparing for their election but instead waved goodbye, and "slipped the surly bonds of earth" to "touch the face of God." For when in the course of Canadian events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to vote with their conscience, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs - Victory in spite of all Liberal, NDP, Bloc, and Green terrors - Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.

Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! So I close in saying that I might have been given a bad break saddled with a minority government, but I've got an awful lot to live for. Thank you.
