Polls down but not final score
Pundits queue up to write John Howard off. A bit early for me – we still have to hear Labour’s policies and when we do will Rudd be able to shut the Left up. Will the coalminers vote Labour when they fear that given the chance they would close the mines to pay back the Left and garner Green votes. WIll the education unions across Australia accept Rudds policies and if not, how loud will they be.
The polls are bad and if the Libs keep on losing MPs and Senators over stupid errors, they won’t be getting any better. However I can’t see that happening and it won’t be long before Howard’s house will have been cleaned of deadwood – what then…the debate has to go back to Rudd’s credibility.
Will it stack up? Early signs are that it won’t. Whatever the polls say, there is a thought in the back of a lot of peoples minds that Rudd has been found to be easy with the truth. The Bourke affair, you might reason, is dead and buried but an image has been imprinted on a number of minds and it’s shaky. Some think his mea culpa at the press conference was admirable – could I suggest he called the press conference to say things that were too dangerous to say in the house.
Rudd wants it both ways. He accuses Howard and co of personally attacking him yet he was one of the most prolific attack dogs in the house…incompetant…stupid…and othe insults rolling off his toungue but he cries foul when more temperate language flows back. He accuses Howard of taking us to war based on lies yet he himself has said;
There is no debate or dispute as to whether Saddam Hussein possesses weapons of mass destruction. He does.Still getting it together, I think. There is still a long way to go before we vote.

Dear kev
if the public has Burke in the back of their mind about Rudd what about AWB, Weapons of mass destruction, Tampa, children overboard etc about shifty howard and his ilk.
it is nice to see that Aussies have finally worked out the rodent.
Hope that Iceberg Costello has his chop; then again he has a distinct lack of courage and ticker. Keating was right about that blustering undergraduate smart aleck.
I saw Shifty last night on 7.30 report – panicked, grovelling and finally admitting what a cock uop the adventure into Iraq has been.
It would be nice to see the back of the “lying rodent” as he was so quaintly described by Sen Brandis.
What about that buffoon Bunter Downer – his attack on Rudd etc was indicative of the panic.
The polls might not be as strong in the motnhs to come but it is noce to see the born to rule mob start staining the back of their Y fronts or in the case of Downer his panyy hose.
Peter – Why are you and many other Labor supporters so full of malice? It shows in the delight you take in name calling and insults. Keating rarely addresses issues but using his talent for insult merely makes any form of civilised discussion difficult.
Kev – Eventually Gillard and the rest of the Labor side will display their true colours and cause the general population to consider their political position. However this may happen before or after the election. As the ABC and many other media outlets don’t want to ask the hard questions it will probably only happen in parliament. I doubt whether the Libs have the heart and skill to do the hatd work that is required at the moment. I hope they can, I can’t stand the thought of those quasi stalinist social engineers of the left getting their hands on the levers of power.
I wonder why rusted on Labor voters like “peter” bother to post their ratbag dreams on conservative blogs like this one.
Do they really believe that their undergrad ranting will change anyone’s mind?
Is it a chance to “stick it to the man” like their 60’s icons like Jane Fonda, Che Guevara and Jim Cairns?
Just some more noise from the politically irrelevant.
Yawn.
Dear PQ et al
Why is ok for “Bunter” “fish net stockings” Downer , “no tip” or”ticker” Costello, “abandon baby” and ‘hypocrite” Abbot to attack the man.
How nice it was to see the shit fly back and take out campbell and Santoro.
Why do you whinge when the shit comes back at you.
That carping Bogus undergrad Costello imposed the standard and see where that got him. Talk about judgement. Too gutless to go for the top job and I faraid that he might miss out becasue of his lack of courage. keating had courage in spade fulls and called it as he saw it.
Your heroes have riden oin the back of his reforms that brought that country into the 20th century and Howard and his ilk have lived off it.
Talk about a Costello being a profile in moral cowardice. He might want to write a book about it one day.
You started it and when it comes back you whinge and whine.
You may recall that old redneck Bjelke Petersen “if you can’t take the heat get out of the kitchen”.
Why don’t you stick to your heroes such as “tricky dicky ” Nixon, Senator Mccarthy (that champion of human rights). you might even think old draft dodger Cheney and Bush are your heroes. I would rather the likes of Jane Fonda to the above. She saw that Vietnam was thw wrong war just as Iraq is becoming a quagmire for the yanks.
Stop your feigned indignation and faux platitudes and take the plank or splatterings out of your own eyes.
Peter, What on earth are you on about. Your comment reads like you have found an ‘adjectival insult generator’ and are playing with it for the first time.
I addressed your first point in my post and you comment as if you haven’t read it…are you dyslexic?
One of the basic rules of debate is one side says something and then the other side rebutts the point; not one side says something and the other side just restates a litany of insults and exagerations ad nauseum
What do you do for a living… write script for the ABC?
Dear Kev
When you cease calling Hicks “poor little mahommed” etc then i consdier letting up on Shify Howard. Bunter Downer , No ice berg Costello , Spiv Santo, Zeppelin Hockey, mad monk Abbott, etc etc
Go back and erad some of your own stuff and take the log out of your own eye.
