Tell us of the negatives you can find on the web about Rudd.
Belly,
You can't be serious ! First of all we have a 350 word limit here plus I have got to go to work, I haven't got the time to list Rudd's negatives. I'd suggest we call Abbott & Rudd "The Battery" positive & negative. Rudd positive in the frivolous leftie media & Abbott positive in competence.
Belly,
try to honest to yourself just once & admit that Labor are always a failure, they talk the talk but don't walk the walk. You are the one who is always on about truth, Struth !

Belly,
the link you provided is one of lowest forms of bias I have ever seen. For you to have to drag this out of the media gutter just demonstrates how low you lot are prepared to let yourselves go. Only one word comes close to describing your character, disgusting.

It must be true it was in the paper. Fairly describes someone out of control. I don't have any problems with it.
Maybe it's just because you can only see from one eye, is that the problem.
Abbott is alienated from his party they are in a meeting.

Tony Abbott was the man who could never be prime minister. “He’s just too right-wing,” a colleague told the Courier-Mail. “Too hardline,” said another to Abbott’s face. “He’s very much a mid-20th century sort of a bloke,” declared Labor strategist Bruce Hawker in early June, only to be trumped the following evening by Kevin Rudd, on the 7.30 program, who called him “one of the most extreme right-wing conservative leaders or politicians that the Liberal Party has thrown up”.

Now he sits on the verge of victory. People will have their expectations – and especially their suspicions – but no one really knows how Abbott would act as prime minister. Even his colleagues are unsure. There are some very specific big-ticket items – such as his parental leave scheme and his determination to rescind the carbon tax and the Liberal party room detests the former. His industrial relations policy is vague, and seems a cautious distance from WorkChoices and the reforms so many in his party and in business want to see. “Abbott looks set to become a do-nothing PM,” Peter van Onselen recently opined in the Australian. Van Onselen was voicing the concerns of more than a few of Abbott’s colleagues, who fear being handed power with no mandate and no agenda.

Abbott is the hyper-Catholic, overly aggressive, climate change–denying, homophobic, sexist populist who wants to impose his idiosyncratic religious views on an unwilling public. Julia Gillard would never use quite those terms, but she came close with her recent prediction that an Abbott government would “banish women’s voices from our political life” and make abortion “the political plaything of men who think they know better”. This Abbott is the embodiment of everything the last five decades of social progress have strived to overcome. Thus he is cast as essentially regressive: a creature of the past, intending to take us all back there. His foes are maddened that the nation apparently cannot see what seems so obvious to them: Abbott is shallow, devious and so frighteningly backwards that no sane person would hand him power.

doog,
Sounds like Labor is in the severe stages of desperation if supporters like you, Suseonline & Belly are to be used as an example to go by.
I really am at a loss how you people can stigmatise Abbott to that degree when he still has got to prove himself yet Rudd who is already a twice broven beyond doubt failure is the one you're putting on a pedestal. Either Labor is chic-a-bloc with morons or they're so corrupt that it defies belief. There's definitely not a single "normal" component in that organisation.

Sorry Indy but that was written by his own kind. Not all coalition members are Abbott supporters.
Not ever tried yet, that does not bear contemplating. His style is on show every day., so i don't know how you can support such an arrogant a hole as Abbott.
A policy free zone, this is not the type of politics we need here. Negative to the core, where is the vision, the progressive hunger, the words of a highly educated leader, nothing is in his style.
He is a leader of oppression and does not belong in this society.
