I invite all you labor die hards to do one small thing.

CHECK THE POLES.

The people want an election, you can remain in denial as long as you like, but the reality is, your lot are done and dusted.

I doubt even a change of leader can save them, a they are victims of their own incompetence.

Many of us knew that, just not quite enough though, although I will bet they do now.

But don't worry, our lot will ONCE AGAIN go about cleaning up the mess left behind.

After all, that is what they are good at, collecting money, not wasting it by the billions, time and time again.

I just wonder f federal labor can make a cricket team at the next election, QLD didn't.

Sure,
Let's have an election every time a poll indicates a possible change of government - or maybe every 6 months or so, regardless - just to keep governments on their toes.

Let's become a nation of reactionary loonies and bend to the will of whatever interest group is making the most noise or has the deepest pockets.

Whatever happened to "Governments should always run their full course" and "the threat of an early election" when the shoe was on the other foot?

What I find interesting is how "Slippery Pete" was only flagged for a possible loss of Liberal pre-selection AFTER the media submitted an FOI request about his Cabcharge vouchers LAST YEAR, in relation to the Craig Thomson affair.

If this wasn't done, Slipper would probably still be under Abbott's protective umbrella and voting for him in leadership ballots.

Why wasn't this shocking information released then and why weren't charges laid until last week (and at who's request)?

Why wait until 2 weeks before the Budget session to pretend to "suddenly" become aware of the situation and shift his behaviour away from his original party (who sponsored and supported him) to the ALP?

Maybe Gillard should do what Howard did for Mal Colston and have the charges dropped in return for political support, or would that be unethical?

Maybe Slipper should hand his government phone card to a member of his family and get them to call everybody for support on his behalf.

One thing as bad as dishonesty is hypocrisy, both private and professional.

I hope that if Slipper is put into a no-win situation, he tips buckets onto people on BOTH sides of the house and flushes out all the crooks for everybody to see.

I am amazed at how vicious the anti Abbott people are becoming.
They are saying he is this & that without anything behind it.

Things such as "It will be a disaster if he becomes PM !".
Disconnected comments like that.
My daughter in law talks like that but when pressed all she can do is
repeat someone elses disconnected statements.

I can understand to some extent, but it does show a high level of desperation.

Now *Runner* whilst we can both likely agree to disagree on more issues than not, I have not pride to the extent that I am unable to commend you on a few things. These are, if I have not misinterpreted:

1. that you have disowned your old church

2. that you are opposed to pornography and all forms of sexual exploitation

& 3. That pursuant to your *Christ Concept* you are appalled by the abuse of children, in whatever form that it takes, and believe it would be a good thing to see the perpetrators tracked down and severely punished.

If those 3 points are essentially correct in relation to you than on these things we can agree.

..

What I do not yet comprehend, is why it is that you appear to offer unconditional support to *Abbott?*

He is of course refuse from the Church of the Rock Spider. Worse still, I believe that he has gone down on the public record expressing the view that he believes that the people in his church who covered up for pedophilia should not be pursued.

And of course, regardless of the circumstances leading up to the arrival of children on boats, the salient issue of how we treat them once they are here remains does it not?

In the case of *Abbott* of his own word he will continue to treat them in such a manner as to continue to produce serious adverse medical outcomes, a fact about which has been medically evidenced.

Thus, there seems to me to be a problem where the Christed emanation of your Heart is failing to gain expression because of some blockage in your head.

Are you able to consider reconciling this apparent contradiction for us that we may understand you better?

DreamOn,

'He is of course refuse from the Church of the Rock Spider. Worse still, I believe that he has gone down on the public record expressing the view that he believes that the people in his church who covered up for pedophilia should not be pursued.'

Really Dreamon. Where has Abbott expressed the view that paedophiles should not be pursued by the law? Is this some low form of slander by someone with Abbottphobia or do you have proof of this? I suspect Abbott is much more likely to have paedophiles brought to justice than the Labour/Greens/Independants will to bring men who use workers money to pay for prostitutes and debauchery. Besides the willingness to use young girls bodies the misuse of cleaners money has all but been condoned by a Government who refuses to open their eyes. Or was it young men that the credit card was used for?

"I am amazed at how vicious the anti Abbott people are becoming".

They don't even come close to the "Juliar, witch, bitch, scrag" Gillard name callers and haters club. Even Howard didn't get the same degree of relentless personal abuse.

I get all sorts of vicious spam including faked documents alleging that she was a lesbian during her Uni days.

I'm not against legitimate political comment but most of what I see about Gillard is usually highly personalised and just plain nasty.

That sort of approach says a lot more about the commentators than it says about their targets.

Legitimate comments about Abbott should be on not only what he says but also what he has done in the past.
