Mark Twain sums up best, the reason why some are for the coalition and others against it. I think now, after examining the thoughts and feelings of friends, family, and co-workers with respect to the proposed Liberal-NDP coalition, I have come to the conclusion that no matter what facts, stats, numbers are presented to the Conservatives and their supporters, they don't like the coalition. There is no convincing some people. In the same way that they cannot convince me that this coalition is a "dirty, backroom deal" and "undemocratic".
"We know why Catholics are Catholics; why Presbyterians are Presbyterians; why Baptists are Baptists; why Mormons are Mormons; why thieves are thieves; why monarchists are monarchists; why Republicans are Republicans and Democrats, Democrats. We know that it is a matter of association and sympathy, not reasoning and examination; that hardly a man in the world has an opinion on morals, politics, and religion that he got otherwise than through his associations and sympathies."
-Mark Twain
