A self indulegent,incompetent narcissist comes to mind who won't listen to advice.Good leadership qualities held in high esteem in Zimbabwe.

This article is great! finally someone actually looking at what Kevin Rudd has done, and not react to the skewed views of the media.

The Mining Tax adds are a misinformation campaign aimed at scaring Australians in to thinking that the country and everyone on a personal level will go bankrupt if a tax is imposed in the mining industry.

With the stress on our economy from the GFC and a rise in the age of the average Australian leading to increased need for resources, it is only fair that the profits made from the product of mining the country that is owned by all of us is taxed at a fair rate.

What would these people prefer? the collapse of the welfare system and medicare or pay more tax personally?

Kevin Rudd has done what he has promised. He has taken care of working Australian families, said sorry for the years of inequality and abuse of our indigenous australians, and protected this country from a GFC that has caused such huge problems for the USA and UK.

We don't need someone that can run laps, we need the someone who can run Australia - Kevin Rudd!

I think Kevin Rudd lacks emotional intelligence.
I have just posted a blog about it.
How do you solve a problem like Kevin

With apologies to Rogers and Hammerstein :-)

Sure, Rudd might "actually win". However, if he does, he will continue to be the unmitigated disaster he has been in the last two and a half years. Every thing he has touched has turned to sewerage; he has not got one thing right, and he has not kept one promise.

Swan can say that the NSW by-election with it's 20-30% swing against Labor was due to state issues, rather than the Rudd isssue: but the media thinks differently. It is reported that both Coalition AND Labor urgers around the booths said that the overwhelming sentiment was Rudd's total incompentence in protecting Australia's borders against illegal immigrants. At one booth, Labor lackeys handing out cards felt the need to swap their ALP shirts for something more generic, so strong was the anger against Rudd.

Sure, Rudd might get back in:nothing is impossible. But, are Australians really that stupdid?

An opinion: best option for Labor is to dump Rudd, attack his style, and get on with the future to differentiate itself from the Coalition. He should never have been a Labor leader.

I have voted for Labor in the House of Reps every time, but will not vote for Rudd. Like I have long said, he is a dud and always will be on arrogance alone. He is clearly overrated in both intellectual and political skill terms.

"Kevin Rudd is not driven by anger. He is instead driven by a burning desire to do good."

Oh thats so funny,

I nearly wet myself -
