Dear SM,

You seem to apply one set of standards to
yourself and another to me and others -
with whose opinions you don't agree.
That's nothing new of course. And expecting
any sort of balance from you - is like
expecting any sort of balance from Mr Abbott.
Perhaps one day you both shall surprise all
of us - I look forward to that day.
I would love to see you and him as three-dimensional
beings - but I judge you both by your actions.
Neither of you come across as offering
anything of substance as far as politics is
concerned. It's the same technique that is beginning
to wear a bit thin as many articles in the media
confirm.

As for my knowing or not knowing what Mr Abbott's
sister thinks - that's something that's been covered
quite adequately in the media and made very clear.
And calling people "fibbers," is again nothing new
from your side of politics. You've guys have
got nothing else. But you're not impressing anyone.

Anyway - you seem to have me confused with someone
who cares what you think. No ofense intended - but
I find you - the same as I find Mr Abbott - an
anachronism. So obsolete and out of touch, so archaic
(in other words - clueless). And totally irrelevant
to me.

Lexi,

The pot calling the kettle black? You are so one eyed that you echo the party line to a Tee. I have heard nary a peep about the Malaysian people dumping solution, nor why by your own criteria Gillard is homophobic. The concept of balance from you is a joke.

The media is quite clear, I have not read one jot about TA's sister preferring that TA support gay marriage to his acceptance of her. I you have feel free to share it.

As far as what voters are listening to, perhaps you should listen to this:

Dear SM,

I wish to apologise to you for my previous post.
I should not have said what I did and I did not
mean it. Your opinion does matter to me and I
do respect your point of view. I simply spat the
dummy so to speak and I should not have done it.
Anyway, I really don't have anything constructive
to add to this discussion. I feel that it has run
its course. At least for me.

See you on another thread.

May I present a replacement for Gillard.
Yes true, being popular seems to hold some back.

Belly,

Rudd would be more of a challenge for the coalition. However, Juliar and Swan have provided lots of ammunition in case he does try a comeback.

Lexi,

I also apologize for my more abrasive comments.
