These guys will stoop to any low to discredit Labor. But
as for influencing the people? In their dim-witted
dreams!

Look ttbn is getting fan mail from far right extremist. Since he frequents their web site and gives them his e-mail address so they can send him all the "good oil", what should he expect, a photo of the Lovely Pauline with a Hitler style toothbrush moustache painted on. ttbn you don't fool anyone, well not Foxy and me, you lap that sort of nonsense up.

The Reds are no longer under the bed: they are in Canberra - in government. And, their useful idiots are so very smug about it. Some people are poor losers; the Alboites are poor winners, as well.

Thankfully, I am just an observer these days. I have no passion for politics anymore: it's entertaining to read, watch and listen to simpletons making the same mistakes that they have always made - still believing that their particular ideology is the best.

I would like to know the average age of OLO posters. I'd wager that they are all outside the range of the under-50's who are calling the shots these days, and who don't give a shite about what 'oldies' think.

ttbn,

I beg to differ with your take on things.

Young people are more involved in politics than
you may realize. I noticed on our recent elections
how many had volunteered to hand out leaflets
outside polling booths. How many did door-knocks.
and how many really got involved. Young people
were everywhere working hard - helping out the young
politicians of their choice who were running for
office.

In my safe Liberal seat - the young politician running
for office - got re-elected - thanks to the young
volunteers who had his back. As I'm sure there were others
of all political persuasions who had the support of
young people helping them out.

I'm not sure of the age of the posters on OLO. I would
have thought they'd be in the 50 to 60 age group. Perhaps
a few 70 year olds thrown in.

If you're older than that - you're doing just fine.

ttbn,

OOOOOps. I just re-read my post and realize that
I misunderstood you. You were saying that it's the
young people running the show these days and nobody's
listening to the oldies? Sorry, I misunderstood.

We do have a younger team in government currently.
And that's not a bad thing. At least younger people
are getting more involved because they can see their
future depends on their involvement.

Hi Foxy

Just to help you out.

Then there's ttbn, Methuselah's older brother, Indy, who migrated on the Mayflower, and Hassy, dear Hassy, we're still waiting for the results of carbon dating to determine the age of our very own dinosaur.
