Lost my way really, so cant' explain.

Too deep.

Pauline though looked nice back in her fish n chip cooking days, take away the political and we are left with nice ladies all round.

Political arguments should have nothing to do with the individual in my view and is why threads like this lose their way.

I do not believe there are any reasonable comparisons for Gillard and those upset at her lifestyle are cheap sexists, and one could go on adinfanitum if you could be botherered.

OH ! No explanation ? That is a shame. I was looking forward to your valued input into my rear end POV. Never mind.

I find it interesting that you say "political arguments should have nothing to do with the individual" then you go on to say that Pauline Hanson looked nice when she was slinging fish n chips? Bit Freudian explod?

Who is upset with Gillards lifestyle explod? Define "those upset" for me.

Does Gillard inspire confidence ? Yes ... as a successful and intelligent woman as well as an obviously skilled politician she has the kudos thus far. To govern this country under Labor and the waste of money for another term then ....... NO.

I still like the pearl necklace she has worn during the campaign. Pity the earrings don't match. Might have to talk to her PR people about this.
 
At least someone has a sense of humour !

Certainly applies to me. I prefer Gillard as a person, and think she articulates well, but prefer her opposition's policies. Neither would-be Prime Minister inspires me, but I can't help finding Abbott a bit creepy. Wish Costello had had the guts to overthrow Howard prior to last election- we may have ended up with the "Abbott & Costello" show, but if Costello was PM I think that could have worked.

For the first time in many years I don't really want to vote for anyone or any party - for me it's a question of who is least likely to stuff it up until a "real leader" emerges. As a small business owner I'm also finding myself increasingly confused about which party is likely to benefit me the most (or hurt me the least!). Seems neither party really knows what it stands for any more??

Exactly the way I have felt. However the longer this goes on the more that Gillard grates on me and the more I see disunity in labor. I seem to detest Abbott a little less so I am swinging towards voting for the local Nat who seems genuine, is a new face and acting "fair dinkum". However a way to go yet, I'm still on the swing.

If only everyone would put the sitting member LAST we could start off fresh.

I'm still in this boat too. I can't see myself voting for anyone really, I just need to workout who I am going to vote against.

If you have 20 minutes to spare to listen to Alan Jones's interview with Gillard, any confidence you may have in her will disappear. She will not answer any questions but followed the Cheat Sheet. You will need a strong stomach otherwise you may throw up.

You are right Calliope, the sound of Alan Jone's effeminate voice is enough to make me want to throw up.

Who listens to that biased liberal party **** sucker anyway?

A hell of alot more than you could imagine!

Alan Jones should be leader of the Coaltition. He absolutely made 'mince meat' of Joolya. He really had her knickers in a knot and giggle, giggle she tried to spin her way out once again, except this time it didn't work and the likes of you Macquack didn't like it either with your obscene remark of Jones.

Some thoughts on the these types of audiences:

Shelley worked closely with conservative Milwaukee talk-show host Charlie Sykes at WTMJ, one of the most successful news/talk-radio stations in the US. He says talk-show hosts are popular and powerful because they appeal to a segment of the population that feels disenfranchised.

"To succeed, a talk-show host must perpetuate the notion that his or her listeners are victims and the host is the vehicle by which they can become empowered," Shelley says. ...

Shelley says in the talk-radio business, this concept is called "differentiating" yourself from the rest of the media. "It is a brilliant marketing tactic ...

Shelley says programmers learnt long ago that benign conversations led by hosts who present all sides of an issue do not attract large audiences.
......
Fairfax's radio boss, Graham Mott, says it is the presenter's job to make listeners feel comfortable by reflecting their views.

This hits home with me as well. There is not much small business love coming from either party.

Indeed Calliope. What annoys me about this proposed ALP policy is the inherent social inequity built into it.

Teenagers, and students looking for their first car, or pensioners looking for a cost efficient replacement car - tough luck folks, because those $900 dollar cars (and don't tell me they're not out there, because I've seen them), perfectly adequate for getting to Woolies and back, or to college and back - well now they're going to be worth minimum $2000 via rebate from the govt.

It must have been decided that the narrow demographic slice called 'working families', already fat on government handouts, wouldn't be affected by the policy, so that makes it alright.

Just think, a bucket of nearly $400 million of Government money placed in the vicinity of people trading in used cars.

Due respect to car dealers, but that's a funny line.

Did you mean "cork soaker" per chance? As in .... he who likes to soak the corks?
