New Liberal Mantra after by-election loss in Vaughn "We Almost Won"

The Liberal Party of Canada now officially has a new Mantra to chant for their newfound Morale Boost. It can now be heard by all Liberals in interviews all over the television since the recent by-election in Vaughn. Listen carefully and you hear it shouted out loud like some great bold pronouncement. It is on the winds of change in this country. It is "WE ALMOST WON".

Can anyone with even an ounce of sanity please tell me how the Liberal Party of Canada can say without any hesitation that losing a 22 year hold on one of their strongest core ridings in the Toronto area is cause for celebration? How can you spin such a huge loss as a victory because you only lost by 1000 votes? You held this seat for 22 years. Almost always by margins of over 10,000 votes. and you are trying to spin a loss by "only 1000" votes as a Victory?

With thinking like this, i can see the big red liberal machine as it walks itself off the cliff in the next election, chanting their new Mantra "We Almost Won" as they fall into oblivion, while the Conservitive Government of Mr Stephen Harper achieves his first Majority Government.

Who knows how long it will take for the Liberals to find their self respect enough to climb back up over that cliff. But if your best is "we almost won", to account for this monumental loss of a power liberal bastion, then i don't see you climbing back up over this cliff any time soon. We very well could have two consecutive Majority Governments for Mr Harper before that ever happens.
