"Juliar"?
Oh, please.
Anthony

Don't you get it? The dog lied. Or are you too thick to understand?

Oh, I get it, AP.
I just happen to think that the use of personal epithets is neither an effective nor a mature way to further the debate.
In fact, I'm reminded of an old truism, that goes like this:
The use of personal insults in debate is usually:
a) Suggestive of a lack of supporting evidence ; and
b) An indication of the intellectual shallowness of one's interlocutor.
I leave it to you to decide which one applies in this case.

Ant,

Or 3) an effective way of grinding the point home. That she lied is not in dispute, and the moniker is well earned and effective.

As PM "Julia Gillard’s personal approval ratings are in the “something I just stepped in” range. " And have been since she announced the carbon tax.

While you and others argue that her opprobrium is not deserved, the reality is that the perception is cemented with the voters and unlikely to change in the next 18 months. A Labor team that wins the next election will certainly not have Juliar at the helm. Rudd for all his faults might have stood a chance.

You still don't get it do you Anty. Won't allow yourself is probably closer to the truth.

People hate the witch. The mere sound of her voice gets the radio turned off. A picture of her, on TV has so many people grabbing for the remote in so many houses it fills the air with radio waves.

People who have never even disliked anyone in their entire lives are amazed at the depth of their feelings against this woman, & through her, to anything Labor or socialist.

I know it's hard from an ivory tower, to get any idea of what really happens in the world. I know it is hard to drop long cherished ideas, even when proven total codswallop, [think AGW], but mate it is there for you to see, if you just open your eyes.

Much better to open them now, than continue kidding yourself for another 18 months.

Athonyve clearly your intellect is about twice that of some here, *the dog*?
Well in fact she would not get a bed with them here, but I would not stoop that low.
In taking the flack here,remember some know no better.
Their is Individual, comparing me with the first big fella Jack Lang.
From the 1930,s a man who was great but no modern day politician, remember why he had the ribbon cut for him Indy.
However, some even want an end to Democracy.
To concede defeat mid term and hand government over to Abbott.
Gentlemen, and clearly others, consider my words.
Gillard is unloved, always will be, in the next few months she, before being replaced, will bring Labors polling down even more.
THEN WHY is Abbott polling worse than her?
He clearly, is disliked even more.
First side to swap leaders gets ten percentage points poll rise!
QLD ALP, sorry they can not find a man to lead, if needed I will eat my words, but like it or not some men after Gillard, can not be won by a woman.
Those pearing from a future date at our words here, know some of us did not fall under the spell of self interest and the very rich.
Or the weird strange fool Abbott, but we did not call for his head!

Anthony, I’m at a loss to comprehend why you need to post on OLO when you have your own blog which you spruik with monotonous regularity.

Don’t you get the approval you desire? Do your own bloggers have contrary opinions? Do they agree with you to the point of monotony?

What do you want from us?

I have a theory. You bullied your parents into agreeing with every whacky perspective you ever had. At School you were likewise bullied. You personally feel you have no credibility and you find it difficult to build a genuine circle of friendship. If you have family, you struggle to maintain personal authority and don’t sleep well as you constantly seek to improve your personal credibility.

You do not experience any free form relationships as everything must be structured around your personal pre-conceived ideology. There is absolutely no space between your views on anything and world reality on everything.

Why else would you have your own blog and post here?
