Junkyard Dog, you are a refreshing voice of reason in this discussion.
I work with many Rob Ford voters, and we don't talk politics all that much, but Ford has come up in the past few wks. Like Nicky has observed in the Sun comments, I have noticed Ford voters wavering in their support. I hear a lot of, "Well, I voted for Ford, BUT....." In that "but" I hear Ford Nation becoming an increasingly less populated place.
Adma, I take your point, but I don't think we are throwing away a voting bloc by giving Ford voters the lambasting they so richly deserve. I think they can take the whole Ford experience as a lesson learned; that they ought to consider how likely it is when when a wealthy, entitled, well-connnected white guy purports to be a champion of "the little guy." And hey; the vehicle registration tax was a trivial expense for any car owner, but maybe the things it paid for were not trivial.
Some people are stalwart supporters of certain parties, right or wrong. But these people are in the minority, I think. People change their minds on the fly.
