It took a Canadian to say it

But it still applies down here in the US.

Chet Scoville of Vanity Press:(my bold)

Nobody, not the Liberal Party, not the Conservative Party, not Stephen Harper, not Paul Martin, not Stephane Dion, ever has the right to govern. All anyone ever has is permission to govern, on a temporary basis. If you want to govern, you have to convince the voters to give you permission to do so. You work for them. They don't work for you.

Thanks, Chet.

Now all we need to do is go to Washington D.C. with a bullhorn and tell these twits on both sides of the aisle to stop thinking we are warmongering religious fanatics but actually left of center tolerant humanitarians. And for them to stop fucking up our country and the world.
