And you can ...Ed Stelmach is just not that bright. And you can get away with being dumb in politics, but only if you are extremely likable (see Klein, Ralph or Bush, George W). Since Stelmach is a fairly bland guy, there is nothing to hide his glaring mental limitations.<br /><br />A guy like Klein could have pulled off the whole "these cuts are actually your fault, you evil NDP" bit, and he often did just that. Ed learned at his knee and is trying to employ the same bully tactics Klein did, but no one liked Ed and people are tired of the blame game. Alberta has done nothing significant since the 80s in terms of building real solid legacy projects, like Kananaskis or the Banff Centre, yet we run ever higher deficits.<br /><br />Where is all of that money going, when we have so little to show for it? Those are the questions Ed Stelmach has no answer for. He doesn't even have the mental capacity to understand the mindset behind such questions.<br /><br />The PCs desperately need to pick a new leader. Somebody from outside the Legislature probably, someone who is beholden to the members themselves and not the collection of near-retirees currently occupying most ministerial portfolios.<br /><br />Sadly I don't think they are smart enough to make it happen. So they will follow Stelmach over the cliff of the next election and the Wild Rose will pick up where the once mighty PCs left off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10290429.post-83139690358162324162010-03-29T09:04:00.775-06:002010-03-29T09:04:00.775-06:00So their own party now recognizes that they are in...So their own party now recognizes that they are insolvent. It is basically a letter declaring political bankruptcy.<br /><br />Time for every moral PC MLA to resign.<br /><br />Like a bankrupt business who's owners are relieved of their assets and the proceeds auctioned off, so should all moral MLA's resign and Stelmach call an election.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
