Didn't like them. They seemed like a 'whole bunch of nothing'. I also wonder how the tape was acquired .I admit that the speakers seemed cynical and somewhat conspirational. Is it enough? Maybe if they didn't sound 'sinister', but were done with some wit?

I am sick of having to listen to tax funded lies and perversions of the left brained media, but it doesn't make me 'feel good' about these ads.

Those ads will not help the Conservatives – they will backfire.
Attack the NDP instead, because the Liberals are done. The NDP have made enough stupid comments, and outrageous promises throughout this election…just paste them all together in a video – examples: Layton has said he would withdraw our troops from Afghanistan “immediately” – can you imagine what that would cause there?; NDP Byers in BC is on film saying “the tarsands must be shut down” – these are just 2 examples of what must be a plethora available. Along with Layton on Pot TV, the Marijuana guy who ran for NDP lighting up 20 joints…

Gotta say I do not like them.

At this point of the campaign and with the mo' that the CP has, now is not the time to attack what is already a failed and forgotten policy platform of the LP.

The dire tones of the music at the end add a sinisterness that splatters onto the party that produced them.

These are defensive ads – the kind you use when your opponent is on the rise – sort of like the crap the LP used in the last days of the previous two elections. The CP needs to keep the focus on the greatness of its leader and it policies – that is what got them to the heights they are now and will carry them further upwards to a majority. they shouldn't soil their reputation – carefully cultivated ever since SH became leader – as being above this kind of stuff. Time to have a quiet chat with the more arch members of the CP warroom and tell them to think twice about such tactics.

I wonder how these ads work in female focus groups… My guess is that they would find this off-putting and bully-like.

The Conservatives would be wasting their time with Liberal attack ads for the rest of the election. The Liberals are done like dinner – the most important target now should be the NDP. For example, they should play the footage of the NDP star candidate in BC, where he said “the tarsands must be shut down”. Or, they should look at all the ridiculous promises Jack Layton has been making, and nail them – ie. Layton has said he'll cancel the Softwood Lumber agreement – Cancel it ! The same one that took about 7 years to negotiate, was agreed to by industry leaders, provincial governments like BC, and which apparently would cost Canadians $5 Billion just to cancel – let alone the future fallout of that. Layton and the NDP need to be taken to task, and the main stream media sure aren't going to do it.

I love the whole "hidden agenda" thing being turned around and used against the Liberals. Because of their goal of implementing a carbon tax if elected, it will provide fodder for the Tories, meaning CPC gov'ts for years and years to come. If they do not have a carbon tax as part of their next campaign, they will be forced on the defensive, allowing the Tories to tag them with the very term, "hidden agenda", that they themselves created (supplanted in this election with "master plan"). I love it!

BTW, the Tories shouldn't have to be the ones to dispense this information to the public. That's the job of the MSM. But unlike their play up of the Randy White tape, the MSM will attempt to bury what McCallum and friends truly think about Canadians.

Like their refusal to uncover the truth in the Krista Erickson affair and the Liberal players involved, what else are the Liberal media hiding from Canadians?

Tough time to be a Liberal but it's long overdue. We've had a long spell of their arrogance and outright sneering and put-downs of those who don't agree with them, it's finally payback time. It's restoring faith in the people as well to see them at last reject the Liberals for corruption and showing disrespect for the taxpayers money.
A former Liberal operative has it right, they'll have to reinvent themselves.
