Arjay, that's a cute conspiracy theory.

Got any actual proof to back up that conspiracy theory claim? Or is it a mere opinion of yours, written as if it's fact? I suspect we all know the answer to that one, don't we Arjay.

Totally agree with you, RawMustard,

Tony Abbott is so underrated, it is sad. Compare his wide and varied background of experience, and voluntary work which must surely show he is a compassionate person. Plus he can recite poetry with ease. I hear he is very personable to people individually and people change their minds about him after meeting him, when they were initially negative of him. I can't believe some people call him stupid. He's not a pretentious prig. He speaks naturally and off the cuff. He has integrity. Compare him to Gillard who is a political machine, and as Bob Ellis has cited, she has no landscape. He has described Abbott as a very eloquent speaker at all the book launches he sees him at, and responds in this way to a whole range of questions of varying issues thrown at him. He even compares him to F Scott Fitzgerald. Gillard doesn't read anything outside law, which she has admitted. She is so narrow, and cold. Her whole misogyny campaigns against Abbott were disgusting. I just can't believe people cannot see through it. These people are the elistist latte sippers who have no idea of their own hypocrisy and pretensions. These are the same people who wouldn't know the meaning of voluntary community work which has always generally been done by conservatives, anyway.

Just like to point out that I'm about as unimpressed with Gillard as it's possible for a leftie to be - I won't be voting for Labor...nor Liberal.

Dell,

Please don't think of me as the thought police. I couldn't give a toss what you "think"....especially since it is broadcast with such odious melodrama. You remind me of Donald Duck when he's chucking a plonker - with about the same level of civility.

Most entertaining (in an odd way:)

Constance,

Here's an example of Tony's "integrity":

Belly,
I think it was Campbell Newman that said 'now is not the time for a politically correct debate' and I agree with him. He has far too much work to be done to get sidetracked into philosophical and religous debates. Just like the greens were wrong to blame the vic fires on AGW.

Hey, i can well recall Tim , and other advocates, saying 'drought is permanent, not enough rain to fill dams, seas rising to cover 8 story buildings, UK kids won't know what snow is'. Silly state governments bought this crap and spent billions on desaliation plants that are now in mothballs. I may be wrong but I think they were all Labor.

You well know Labor has failed miserably in everything for the past 5 years, beginning with Rudd encouraging the illegal boat entrants.

579,
On the other thread you accused Abbott of not wanting to assist flood or fire victims, about time you put up evidence of that, or apoligise. Come to think of it, a short time ago, you were saying that Thomson hasn't been charged. What do you say in his support now with 150 charges in Vic and more to come in NSW?

What about the AWU scandal and the Obeids and Co are such good Labor supporters aren't they, serving the community AND themselves.

The mess Labor are facing right now is all their own doing.

Face it, the Labor brand stinks right now and you should be blaming the current mob in parliament. Belly is right, and the sooner the wipeout, the sooner Labor can rebuild with far better people that put Australia first.

"""
Rawmustard for a person who has opted out of the system,you certainly have a lot of passion and support for Tony Abbott.

But, Arjay. There are still some good people in this world. Just because 97% of them are despotic, tyrannical, parasites doesn't mean we should not acknowledge the ones who step above the crap and show themselves to us as real human beings.

The demonetisation of an honest to goodness human is absolutely the most disgusting display of evil I've ever seen in this country.

Tony Abbot is a doer. He actually gets off his backside and does things with his own bare hands and energy to help others and does not expect reward from others. He shows and leads by example. What have the others done?

These are the kinds of people that we need to lead the world out of misery. He's a true human being.

Perhaps you're right and he's already been bought, but I haven't seen this yet, have you? Lets judge him when he lets us down!

I do find it rather amazing that after the constant string of lies coming from Gillard, so many of you believe this lot is gospel.

About the only think we can be sure of is that the election will not be on September 14Th.

I reckon we will have a snap election any time the polls show any improvement for Labor. That of course depends on them being able to hold the rotten mess together that long.
