And this is why we mock them.

Zorpheous: "Harper promised fixed election dates. So he's breaking his promise."

Alberta Girl: "He hasn't actually called an election, so there's no broken promise."

Zorph: "He did promise fixed election dates, AG."

AG: "He hasn't actually called an election, so there's no broken promise."

Zorph: "Harper made the promise, now he's breaking it."

AG: "Once again, he hasn't called an election, so he can't possibly have broken any promise."

Zorph: "OK, so if he does call an election, will you then admit that he broke his promise?"

AG: "No."

And this is why we mock them for being the insufferably ignorant, hypocritical douchebags they are. But you knew that already.
