Malcolm in the middle : Comments

By Robert Simms, published 23/10/2012

Turnbull is positioning himself as a moderate figure in the liberal tradition. In contrast to Abbott, he is not Howard reloaded.

Bugsy as you say polls don't really matter.

What does matter is that when it comes time to put the X on the ballot sheet, people are going to see a bottle red head looking at them, remember all the lies, & decide they just can't chance that what ever Labor has promised is just another batch of freshly cooked up lies.

That's when the chickens will come home to roost.

Yes some were had by Rudd, & had again by Gillard, & will still come back to be had again. Many can't believe their old workers party is now the party of the elites. Academia has taken it over, both in the unions, with lawyers running them, & the back rooms, where those dumb lawyers fall for the advice of all those with doctorates.

These elites are aghast that the common man has it so good, & are well on their way to fixing that. If we don't stop them, it will be back to the Manor for us, as surfs, not owners.

Emperor Julian, it is important to know that Turnbull was a solicitor, not a barrister, so did not generally appear in Court cases himself.

The Spycatcher case had been run a number of times overseas, with the British government losing in every instance.

Turnbull just had to run the template case, with a foregone conclusion, and appeared in it himself for the personal kudos available.

I fell for it at the time, and you are still under the illusion that he created of him being the fearless lawyer. If it had been difficult, he would have briefed Counsel.

His Labor mates wanted a Republic, and one of them might have become another snout in the trough as President, if the travesty of a Republic had come about.

He has certainly worked on faking sincerity, and manages to fool a lot of people.

now let's not talk about something significant ... like ... ahhh ... say the Greens vote in the current election result in the Capital Territory.

Let's talk about the liberal leadership instead.

What a simpletons diversion is this article.

Things must be grim in the Labor camp if their last option is to promote Turnbull.
Do they really think coalition voters are as silly as lefties ?
I hope the not so smart in the coalition are still smarter than putting Turnbull back.

Is it cruel to flog a dead horse? Turnbull has failed at NBN, a huge target hence hopeless as Opposition leader.

McCackie,
They have nothing else. That's all Labor can do.
