Does Gillard inspire confidence?

[explod]

On Kerry O'Brien last night, every time Julia began to make inroads on her replies he talked over the top of her many times, cut her off a number of times and did not let her complete replies. He was agressive and extremerly rude. Never acted like that when interviewing little Johnny, or krudd for that matter.

The tone of this thread is little more than spitefull sour grapes and with O'Brien and that Laurie Oakes, who was seething with rage following the debate, there is no doubt that the chauvinists are finding it difficult to be objective.

Anyway, will be interesting to see how we go with a Catholic Prime Minister, does not inspire me too much.

In this case have much more confidence in the petticoat.

Gillard inspires me, she is certainly setting things on fire and creating rages.

That's because she wasn't answering the question. Do you know what an interview is? You get asked questions and you answer them, you don't trot out prepared spin about your opponent.

Actually she was on topic in answers and as O'Brien could see she was handling it well he jumped on it, time and again.

And on that Little Johnny was an expert in answering a question not asked with the one liner he wanted to get across at the total exasperation of respective jounalists.

Of course when you are blinkered you will oniy see as you wish. If you recorded the interview its well worth playing back, always clearer the second time.

She is great.

Has anybody spotted the difference between Joolya last week to Joolya this week?

If you quack like a duck today, I guess your quack will be the same tomorrow irrespect of whether you have lost some of your feathers or not.

I reckon she'll be a dead duck come election time as the pundits are expecting a bombshell of a leak in the last week.

So who would be the spiteful one in this, the lovely Krudd that you all adore and say should not have been toppled.

Spare me the bias and give some intelligence to the debate.

I thought you adored the lovely Senator Brown. Don't tell me you're deserting him for the new Gillard. You are so fickle. Or don't you care as long as they are lefties.

I thought it was a good interview by Kerry O'Brien. No change in Julia's style there.

Of course when you are blinkered you will oniy see as you wish.

She is great.

Any intellectual person would have no difficulty in determining how inefficent our unelected Prime Minister is when you examine her record under the now assassinated duely elected Prime Minister Kevin Rudd on the BER scheme debacle, the waste of tax payers money, the rorts that were allowed and the over budget spending.

One would only have to examine her record in the past 6 weeks with the gaffe on the Miners RSPT, which I might add is still far from being finalised, the stupity of claiming she would set up an off shore detention centre in East Timor without talking to the Prime Minister of that Country and the setting of a 150 person forum to tell her whether she should act on an ETS. And if her hand picked forum votes in favour, she will say she has overwhelming support from the Australian people or is this just a delaying tactic not to make a decision before the election. She just does not have any policy at all.

Anyone would give her a big "D" for dunce.

OMG how can anyone be inspired with this woman "MOVING FORWARD DOWN THE GURGLER". She should be telling people, " I'm the new PIED PIPER, (the new Julia Gillard) FOLLOW ME TO THE RIVER WHERE YOU CAN ALL DROWN".

Leave Tony Alone



This guy is a dead ringer for the mad monk.

You just have to get your D's there noco, it means delectable

And if you cant see Julia as nice you are either under 50 years of age or all spired out.

So frustrating for you Liberals. He he he.

You are all letting her nut ya

Macquack, you have sick mind. Perhaps you need some some psychiatric help.

This thread is about whether Julia Gillard is capable of Governing this country of ours in the right direction and to date she has not shown too much promise based on her record.

Get back on track Macquack or stay off the thread if don't have some intelligent input.

 

[Julia]

Gillard inspires me, she is certainly setting things on fire and creating rages.

Is she? Most of the commentary I've seen is to do with how boring the whole campaign is.

That's because she wasn't answering the question. Do you know what an interview is? You get asked questions and you answer them, you don't trot out prepared spin about your opponent.

Actually she was on topic in answers and as O'Brien could see she was handling it well he jumped on it, time and again.

Oh Explod, how our existing bias allows us to see what we wish to.
Kerry O'Brien imo was not rude at all, but what he was doing was attempting to get her to actually answer his questions rather than allow her to deflect off into her usual recitation of spin. Even despite his best attempts, she managed not to answer most of his questions.

She is great.

The polls indicate that approximately half the electorate disagree with you.
You think she is great. I have no idea why, but you're absolutely entitled to that view.

And if you cant see Julia as nice you are either under 50 years of age or all spired out.

Now, explod, I'm going to quite politely take exception to the above.
I don't think it's at all reasonable to suggest that those of us who don't happen to agree with your unquestioning adoration of Ms Gillard don't have a view which is, like your own, simply a valid opinion. Let's leave the personal stuff out of it.
Btw what is "spired out"?

And, explod, just one more question: which Julia are you actually talking about who is so inspiring you? The Real Julia Version 1, or the Even More Real Julia Version 2? Gee whiz, there might be a Version 3 out tomorrow.

Intelligent input? Macquack? Since he was warned about his gutter language his vocabulary is very limited.

Noco, you obviously do not have a sense of humour.

I was responding to the video posted by MoxJo "Leave Julia Alone".

Castigating me while ignoring MoxJo's post just highlights your bias and double standards.

I believe Julia Gillard has done a "fair" job under the circumstances and the Labor Party deserves a second term of office.

Footnote: One consolation if the Liberal Party is elected is that Noco and Calliope might shut the f*** up for the next three years.

If Abbott had re-invented himself as many times as Gillard, he would be a total laughing stock. Imagine what the media would have done to him if he had come out this week and told us that "now we would have the real Tony"...

Gillard refused to debate earlier, but now she's changed her mind like a spoiled child and Tony cops the blame...

She must laugh at the stupidity of the "Austrahlian peeople" ...

 

[drsmith]

Of minor interest is the background the ALP are using in their media presentations. It's white text on a blue background like that of the Liberal Party.

There's not a dash of red in sight.

Agree, but the argument on her lightens it up a bit.

Oh Explod, how our existing bias allows us to see what we wish to.
Kerry O'Brien imo was not rude at all, but what he was doing was attempting to get her to actually answer his questions rather than allow her to deflect off into her usual recitation of spin. Even despite his best attempts, she managed not to answer most of his questions.

We have to agree to differ, a number of times within seconds of asking a question he cut her off, previous P/Ms would never have stood this.

The polls indicate that approximately half the electorate disagree with you.
You think she is great. I have no idea why, but you're absolutely entitled to that view.

I think she is a bit ordinary in fact but someone has to try and ballance the skewed scales on this thread.

Now, explod, I'm going to quite politely take exception to the above.

Btw what is "spired out"?

Exhausted

Take a bow Julia

In fact I think the majority on ASF love you.

I spoke too soon. Your potty mouth is again out of control.

ALP website edits out Julia's socialist past

THE Labor Party has been caught posting an incomplete transcript of a recent Julia Gillard interview on her official website...

...The party also excluded from its official record criticism of the Prime Minister's proposal for a citizens' assembly to seek a consensus on climate change policy, along with questions over whether Labor had made deals with the Greens in return for electoral preferences...

Is this the real Julia at work? Still trying to be someone she isn't??

And possibly open the other eye and see that there actually is another world out there.
