Sorry didnt see that Calliope and kincella, I wonder how close an election might be if the Libs had the right leader, I'm not so sure Rudd is as popular as the polls indicate.

That is the crucial crux of the matter. No strong leader. Need to manufacture one quickly. And how ! Reckon someone with gonads the size of a basketball will cream Rudd.

no...big gonads not required....but balls of steel to do the right thing...thats all simple really....

just bring in Costello......easy fix..one simple move..

and notice rederrob gone missing since the 19.07.....he might have gone on holidays with one EAGLE888...a poster on another site....who acted as if the pm was a hero...and can do no wrong....who has been missing since 17.07...hmmmmm....
this thread is high on humour.....
one of eagles posts.............
this component of the education infrastructure program is part of the stimulus package aimed at providing needed public works and employment to small business people. Simple really, but does not fit in with the Oppositions do nothing approach. Eleven years in government and the coalition couldnt even provide our kids schools with a lick of paint. This bloke RUDD is really making them look pretty bad. He doesnt think our kids are unworthy of having a freshly painted school and a viable shade area and a computer or school hall. RUDD also looking after the tradies, the sparkies and other small business people involved in this important work.

lol - seems that "nastiness" lies in the eyes of the beholder. (or the beer holder as the case may be)
"right-leaning namecalling/nastiness" seems to be tolerated more than "left-leaning" if you ask me.

Calliope said:

One thing seems pretty certain. Rudd's main interest in trying to force this ETS bill through is to get the grounds for a dissolution and have an election before the electorate wakes up to him. The ETS is not an urgent matter.

I think the Coalition should stand up for their principles instead of rolling over. Sure, they can't win the next election, but at least the Ruddites term in office won't be two full terms and I think the Coalition will need that time to develop a real leader.

Costello's ongoing shenanigans are continuing to damage the Liberal Party,
writes John Hewson.

PETER. Enough is enough. If your few remaining mates won't tell you, I will. ....

Perhaps, ironically - although I doubt that you will admit it - your best chance to be leader was when you let Alexander Downer lead the "Dream Team" that took over the leadership from me back in 1994. If not then, certainly when Downer fell over a few months later.

You didn't have the balls to seize the moment then, leaving the leadership by default to John Howard. And you haven't had the balls, or the numbers, since.

Watched the interview when he said this too. Should have kept his trap shut. Obviously does not understand the meaning of EX PM hopeful !

Mr Burns you have literally hit the nail on the head. We are being rounded up like mindless sheep at the moment for the slaughter. So is the opposition. Kruddy 747 tacticians have pulled the coup de' grace if this succeeds. We can all see it coming. I vote we have a "Don's Party" at my place come election night and watch the entrails fall out on the big screen.
