Oh he is directed by his basics as everyone is. He has just learned to tighten his fists while standing. Body language experts will surely attest to that. When was the last time we saw Harper in a televised leaders debate?<br /><br />Not for a long, long while.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611409863712113861.post-77303638669384997992010-12-26T20:02:35.086-05:002010-12-26T20:02:35.086-05:00I agree about the body language and that does matt...I agree about the body language and that does matter when considering him as leader of a country. How can anyone so devoid of compassion and empathy be expected to care about all members of society? Or anyone but himself, for that matter, and yet we have this dysfunctional person making decisions that affect all our lives.<br /><br />As for whether or not the state of his marriage is something the news should cover, I think it's how harper handles the situation that is something voters have the right to know. It tells us something about him we should know - does he lie? Is he fair? Does he use people? Clinton's fall wasn't due to having an affair. Kennedy had plenty. But Clinton lied about it under oath. That should matter to voters, but the affair, unless he abused his position as President, in my opinion is private and the media should stay out of it.<br /><br />If harper and Laureen split up, none of our business. But if he is still using her as a political prop and to pretend he's a family values guy and wants to shape our laws accordingly, then we have the right to know if he is lying to us and deliberately misrepresenting himself.<br /><br />Trudeau survived the talk because he said it was no one's business, but he didn't keep waving his wife around to garner popularity politically.<br /><br />That's my take on it, anyway. I like it that you wrote about this. It's something we should question, the boundaries media should respect, and what we have the right to know.900ft Jesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01882830831096870992noreply@blogger.com
