Is it time for Joe Hockey to be forced out of the Liberal Party?

I wouldn't force a man from a political party because he is reasonable, tolerant and understanding.

Establishing his brand and a sneaky sniper's shot from cover in the leadership tussle with the crazy Abbott.

Have both recently sworn allegiance with Turnbull because that is always a good sign that the knives are out again in the Liberal Party?

Since when did 'Honest Joe' Hockey wear his heart on his sleeve and worry about anyone but Number One? A leopard doesn't change its spots so easily.

If Malcolm is going to be the New Year roast turkey that leaves a nice long running time for the new leader to clear the table and appear strong, with a team behind him.

The latest possible date for a joint House/Senate election is Saturday, 16 April 2011.

I suspect Joe Hockey is out to establish himself
as "Leader" material in the minds of the Electorate.

I watched the last episode for the year -
of "Q and A" last week.
Joe got teased by the panel members about his future
plans of writing and speaking engagements on religious
topics.

One panel member inferred that Joe was taking
a page out of the PM's book. The PM had done a similar
thing prior to his run for office.

Apparently writing
on religious topics goes a long way towards
establishing an ambitious politician
as a man of "character," and is supposedly
an excellent political move.

I guess it can't hurt. It's better than doing
something controversial like coming out for
Abortion, or The Right-to-Die, or Gay Marriage.
Religious topics are always safe bets to write
about.

We'll have to wait and see if it works for Joe.

Dear Foxy,

You probably have it right. I'm handicapped with a low cynicism quotient.

Hockey frightens me. He's a Liberal frontbencher who seems like a decent, tolerant bloke more often than not.

He should be expelled immediately! Otherwise, people might vote for the Coalition at the next election.
