Dear SM,

I have several degrees - none are in fine arts.

As for my so called "flights of fantasy," no
apologies there. They came out of the
desperation of being roped in to deal with your
continued ad nauseum barrage of the PM.
You make comments - I respond.

I guess it was silly to expect Clubs Australia to
call off the attack dogs. And to expect you to be
a bit more reasonable was also too much to expect.

All in all, it is a rather depresing beginning to 2012,
especially for those of us who were hoping that some things
might change and that the Opposition would burnish its
rather-threadbare progressive credentials. Ah well,
they obviously want to hasten their already disappointed
base.

Yes I am a robust poster, some times rude.
SM at least we know, has no intention of letting truth intrude on his mission, mud throwing.
Rechtub, do not resort to your usual , hate you junk.
You lack understanding and you lack information to support your silly view If Gillard changes policy's she has lied.
It is also clear, by your question re shooting, your comments are not fueled by knowing about current affairs/news
Tony Abbott, is on record saying he will have a phone,and tell the Navy what ships to turn around.
He is [not unusual for him] on record saying he will no longer do that.
He now, has returned to his first stand,SAYING HE WILL TURN THE BOATS AROUND AT SEA.
Navy personnel more used to saving life may end it, from women and children.
Consider this,informed and fixed Conservatives understand, this issue , Abbott's intransigence on it, is the most likely one.
That will take the leadership away from our Tony and end his life in politics, such is the damage to his persona within the party he could not stay longer than a year.
Rechtub! think with me, you rant and rave in print at those who differ.
Just maybe yourself confidence has put you in over your head.

Belly, why do you continue to turn this around and continually suggest that I have no idea what went down.

Julia said, there will be no carbon tax in ANY GOVERNMENT I LEAD.

She is the leader of this government and, she has lied to the people.

She SIGNED A DEAL with Mr Wilki, a deal that gave her the minority support to retain office.

She agreed with the terms of the agreement.G

She reneged on the deal.

Now if that was not a lie, then p,ease explain what it was.

The boats.
Some 300 people in the last four years of Howard.

14,000 and counting from labor.

Why did they change a system that was working.

Remember, if it ain't broken, don't fix it!

I say again, how can anyone support this government.

Lexi,

Your mindless defense of Juliar's indefensible actions in the face of all the evidence is tedious and smacks of almost religious single mindedness.

Belly,

If someone makes a promise and breaks it she is a liar.
Carbon tax, Gillard is a deliberate liar,
Pokies tax, Gillard is a deliberate liar.

There is the simple truth you have been avoiding.

Dear SM,

Shame on you. It does not seem to matter to you that
the Coalition does not support poker machine reform.
What seems to matter to you and the Party you so
mindlessly support - is that the issue can be used as a
bludgeon with which to renew the attack on the
PM's character. How hypocritical.

I shall not be responding to you any further.

Subject is poker machine reform.
Not carbon tax
a Policy requirement of an independent.
Not supported by the coalition.
Or independents.
It, after every effort, was never going to pass.
And clubs pubs also did not want it.
I SM think you are mischief making.
And Rechtub, turning it around?
Your dizziness is self inflicted on this subject.
Last word is not all that important, if it like those it follows just adds to the fertilizer heap
