You still haven't told us whether you're going to vote for this rabble called the ALP. Pretty simple question.....either you're going to vote for them or you're not going to vote for them.

Actually I have but you have think beyond Abbott slogans. ;);)

What planet are they on, they obviously have completely lost touch with the electorate.
The analogy of them with Hitler, is fair comment as they enact policy without letting voters have a say.
Gillards slagging off at Abbott was nothing but a cheap shot for publicity on the world stage.
It is indeed becoming farcical and even their own ranks must be feeling sick at the fiasco.

Have a think about that again.

In a word "No", Hitler was a dictator that enacted decissions as he saw fit, without putting it to the populace.

Isn't that what Gillard did?
Actually no, not only did she not put it to the populace, she reassured them it wouldn't happen.

I'm not debating the right or wrong of the tax, just the way it was enacted by deception.

Sometimes people have to be brought to account for their distain of the people they represent.
It happened to Howard when he tried shoving 'work choices down peoples throats'

Well to me the same distain has been displayed by shoving the 'carbon tax down peoples throats'.
At least Howard took it to an election and put his neck on the line, which showed some honesty.
Hey, only my thoughts.
Oh yes IFocus, what part should I think about again?
 
Julia and Tim remind me of Adolph and Eva in the bunker scenes in "Downfall." It will be interesting to see if they get married before their world caves in.
 
I am gathering material to create a complimentary thesis to add to my current PhD thesis "The Impossibility of Objectivity in Leftist Thought".

It is the be titled "The Gormless and Astonishingly Monumental Hypocrisy of Leftists". It will examine how the once subtle and clever, if not duplicitous hypocrisy of Leftists has transmogrified into the asinine, petty, puerile pea-brained and nauseatingly obvious hypocrisy we are subjected to these days.

I mean, check this out: from http://www.news.com.au/national/fed...tion-galaxy-poll/story-fndo4dzn-1226567740321

Coalition frontbencher Christopher Pyne came under fire after he said the Government was unravelling and compared it to a movie about the final days of Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany.

"The Government is starting to resemble a scene from Downfall and the Prime Minister is presiding over a divided and dysfunctional government," he said.

New Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus, who once compared Mr Abbott to Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels, called on Mr Pyne to apologise for his immature comment.

...and check out the comments in this article: http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/you-can-stick-your-apology-up-your-bum/ I wholeheartedly agree with the tenet of the article, but the comments of the lame-witted leftist numbskulls are so petulantly and unintelligently hypocritical that I can scarcely believe that they are made by people of a mental age greater than 3 1/2.

Sheesh there is so much material I better get working.

I'd be suprised if they go full term now, it's getting so bad the Govenor General should get ready to step in.

Anyone who supports this mob now is seriously ignorant.

Not much chance of the GG stepping in when Bill Shorten is her son in law!

Another absolute stuff up on its way, the replacement of the promissed laptops that are now broken or obsolute.
I find it amazing that they are paying $1300 for laptops and an allowance of $1500 for maintenance. No wonder it has cost $2.4 billion dollars so far.
Have they lost the plot? Or what!

Yes, this government has lost the plot all right.....it lost the plot almost from the first day it wasn’t elected, but was put in by those two independent ratbags Windsor and Oakshot.

Pink bats.....lost the plot.
Cash handouts.....lost the plot.
Scrapping the solar hot water rebate.....lost the plot.
Building the education revolution.....lost the plot.
Mining tax....lost the plot.
Illegal immigrants.....lost the plot.
Carbon tax.....lost the plot.
Blowing an inherited budget surplus and putting us massively in debt....lost the plot.

And that’s just a small sample of their dozens of stuff ups.
As Peter Costello said - "Everything that Labor does turns to dust".

Anyone who attempts to vote them back into power has lost the plot as well.

Well maybe the Queen should sack her first and put Rudd in as GG:D

Better still we should do away with the position of Governor General altogether. The GG is nothing more than a money-wasting figurehead that costs us many millions of dollars each year for no benefit to our country.
 
Very strange, find myself in agreement with just about everyone this morning.

Current Government and system dysfunctional.:(

I don't think I've ever heard anything like the hysterical performance by Mr McArdle, Thomson's lawyer. Just weird, almost obscene.

The conclusion I've reached is that more than anything else, he's a public political mouthpiece for the preservation of the current government.

It's obvious where Craig Thomson's friends in Labor will leave him when he's no longer of use to the party.

Will be interesting as it all unfolds and people are put into corners on this matter. Remember an ALP politician resigned and departed (name escapes, Abibe or similar) a year or so back who was very successful in buying and selling real estate. My old senses tell me that what we see now is just the beginning of one helluva bust up of the ALP.

The politicians of today joined it for a career, in my young days they joined it to represent constituents and out of concern to improve the lot of their fellows/humankind.
