Lexi,

Wrong thread. I only claim that people are lying when they do, as you did.

All I see from you and labor is the same mindless drivel. It is no wonder that Labor targets voters better with their hands than their minds. I deal with professionals and businessmen all the time, and I know of almost none that would vote labor.

Dear SM,

Of course why would they support Labor -
when the Libs believe in - "No taxation
for the Rich!" And "Welfare is bad for Business!"
You either sink or swim - right. And if you sink,
well that's too bad.
I get it.

Dear runner,

Gough managed to send us broke?
Hmmmmm.
Do you use Medicare today?
There's also a heck of a lot of people
who were able to graduate from university
thanks to that man. You should perhaps Google
what the man actually did for this country.
Unlike Mr Howard who even today is sucking
us dry with the perks he's getting as a
former PM and that doesn't include his very
substantial pension. I believe he's the highest
paid former PM. Using taxpayers money to the max.
Who knows, if Mr Abbott gets in as PM at the next
election he may even appoint John Howard as the
next Governor General. Mr Howard just may get
the knighthood he so rightly deserves.

Lexi - Mr Howard just may get the knighthood he so rightly deserves

Surely you jest !!

Dear Prax.,

Take an intelligent guess.
;-)

Lets put some meat on why I use the words *Sussex Street* as an insult.
On its long march to the near center my ALP had its National Engine in that Street in NSW.
The long march had to over come a national tendency to let out side powers [the 36 faceless men] take us away from the voters.
Recent events show us the faceless men, if nothing else, now have faces but not brains.
Sussex Street was home of the Labor right, kept us on an even keel.
Not so in the last few years, 2007 till now, even before, it, not the local members, picked *star* candidates, and forced them, even not living in the electorate, on us.
Many/most having no clue about politics.
As Sussex Street power grew, its heads grew further away from the party faithful,and began think only they mattered.
I am far from the only would be recruit!
At conference the very man, appointed to a senate seat, after being a general behind the traitorous knifing of Rudd, left [for the sake of peace!]
Tried to get me to over throw a left wing branch.
He now has a new job! former ALP stalwart/wrecker works as Packers casino front man.
At the time of Rudd,s knifing Sussex street, by its actions and inactions, had turned NSW ALP from the engine of my party to its anchor.
Given air to far more grubb,s than Obeid and Macdonald.
This is what confronts my party.
Our house has fallen on hard times.
No longer the shrine we put our hopes and dreams at.
We have two choices.
Renovate,replace the broken windows and shabby doors, make it again some thing to be proud of.
Or get out the cheap paint, we know the brand, *SOLIDARITY* covers all sins,but is as easy to see straight through for the public.
Give those who do not want to vote Liberal an alternative place to plant their wishes for a better country.
AND? know even now, if my party thought enough of its voters, returned Rudd, it would turn hopelessness to hope.
