Percy... Martin's campaign WAS run on those premises. His commercials were positive, and he never once attacked his opponent. But you didn't see many of his advertisements on TV. All you saw was the mock news broadcasts that Harper had running 24/7. This election was won in the media, on the backs of gun violence and the Gomery inquiry, which if you'll remember exonorated Martin... The whole thing was a big clown show, it wasn't based on who would do a better job at governing.
God we're an easy bunch to dupe aren't we?
Yes, Martin's 2004 campaign was won on the back of a smear campaign, so he's not innocent... Pure testament to how politics has become "DON'T elect him because...." instead of "Elect me because..."
Just sad is all...
