Skewing Democracy Conservative Style

Is there a collection of Conservatives anywhere on God’s earth more inclined to believe, “Because! Just because!” is valid and final argument enough.
Senator Marjory LeBreton enlightens Canadians with a piece of repartee characteristic of even those of letters in Canada’s New Government.
Reflecting Harper, the Reform Party and small minded Conservatives everywhere, Senator LeBreton tells us that Canadians everywhere reject the status quo of the Senate. The truth is more like Conservtives in some parts of Canada are tired of an electoral process that cuts them out of stacking the Senate. Though it is a function of an electorate that constantly rejects Conservative governments, Le Breton and her peers believe they should have the power to manipulate the electoral process, insuring a Conservative stacked Senate, the Supreme Court and any other institution they set eyes and heart upon. Of course these new Conservatives are now hard selling the USA’s version of democracy – he with the biggest buck pile wins, owns and dictates.
The bottom line for Conservatives/cumReform/cumConservatives is a committment to a process similar to that provided Alberta by her Conservatives who stacked a deck, concocted electoral fraud then held it all up as proof of how right they are.
Federally, the thing that keeps frustrating Reform/Conservatives is they just can't seem to find more than “Because! Just because!” as a valid argument. To them it doesn't matter how they get there because if they win, it must be righteous.
