Twice already?

Hard to believe that after only 8 days of 2006, I've been on TV twice. Clearly my Liberal past is starting to have effects and consequences that have repercussions on the current election campaign. How could I have ever come to expect this one, in the latest Liberal attack ad, entitled "One Leader"? I must say that the ad itself is tired and repetitive from the last campaign, but at least the gun isn't pointing directly at Canadians this time around. All the same, it's sad that the Liberals don't have anything on Harper from the current campaign, and instead have to rely upon scare tactics that use a counterfactual argument based on something that happened three years ago! There comes a certain time when a statute of limitations has to come into play, otherwise I'd advise Harper to start using ads that attack John Turner's record. Also, given that we all know Martin personally supported the war in Iraq and ballistic missile defence before he opposed them, this may not be the best of ideas for him to drag this idea out again.
