Unearthed by another independent researcher, today we see once more that Harper has repackaged the words of right-wing thinkers who went before him. This time they are the words of Craig Docksteader, currently the operations manager for a right-wing think tank, the Citizens Centre for Freedom and Democracy.

While I'm sure Mr. Harper has some original ideas all of his own, voters ought to question the false centrist image the Conservative Party has tried to cultivate for Mr. Harper and his party, given Harper's propensity to quote the words or mimic the policies of right wing thinkers like George W. Bush, John Howard, Mike Harris and even Craig Docksteader.

Plagiarism isn't the key fault here, its the fact that Harper endorses such people and their policies without reservation that is the real issue voters should face.
