According to a number of observers, Stephen Harper is not the same kind of mouth-breathing troglodyte social conservative that most of his party's supporters are. If such is the case, this page wonders how he must be feeling about bringing Same Sex marriage up for yet another vote in the House of Commons. Unless the Prime Minister is that deluded, he knows the motion to "restore the traditional definition of marriage" will fail miserably. At the same time he feels compelled to play to the Conservatives hate-mongering base, which in turn alienates an electoral centre that just wants to move on.

I think it must be somewhere between Prometheus being bound to Mount Caucasus while having his liver repeatedly pecked and Sisyphus having to roll that rock up the hill only to see it roll it down again. Sure, Mr. Harper, the true believers may think you're some kind of king, titan, or even a god, but how much longer do you let the abuse repeat itself before you realize how much it sucks to be you?
