I stop reading posts like rehctub's once
they start talking about "real people." And telling
others to get out into the "real" world, et cetera.
I deal with the public in the large regional library
where I work. And one thing comes across very clearly.
Many people aren't happy with either major party, for a
variety of reasons.

Anyway, we shall see what the voters decide today.
The press coverage and analysis that will follow should
also be interesting.

Enjoy your day

But not as interesting (or colourful) as the analysis you're likely to hear in front of my telly tonight.

Lol!

Lucerifares, poirot and foxy are having a whinge already as they know the SMH and the Age have now abandoned Labor. They just ignore the 50 plus Labor Lemons that has been circulating for a couple of years. I notice that no Labor supporter has suggested that any of the 50+ lemons are incorrect. Nor do they acknowledge the outright bias of the ABC.They also do not acknowledge that the Murdock press supported Labor at the 2007 election. Any private media outlet has a right to support whom they wish.

Any reasonable person would be incredulous that a government could stuff so much up. Without doubt the most incompetent government in Aus history.

If the polls are correct, we can look forward to responsible government for at least the next couple of terms. I don't expect the new government to be perfect but certainly a vast improvement over the current mob.

The headline of this thread goes too far.

Rather than "Does Rudd think people are stupid", it should have been, Does Rudd think. At least here the answer is obvious, & a clear NO.

Rudd is incapable of rational thought. He operates by thought bubble. His ideas, such as they are pop into his head, complete & to what ever passes for his mind, perfect. No need for thought, his lemon all come complete, ready to bestow on the adoring peasants.

I wonder if these adoring peasants will ever wake up to what KRudd they have been adoring?

Hasbeen,

"Rather than "Does Rudd think people are stupid", it should have been,...."

"......Murdoch, Abbott & Co. "know" people are stupid."

Dear Hasbeen,

It's not only a question of- Do the leaders think,
but can they talk as well?

And, it is obvious regarding both thinking and
talking, which one of them would function better
not only domestically but on the global stage
representing our country.

One can't think, unless
it's all pre-scripted, and as for talking?
Photo-opportunitues have been pursued.
They're not up for scrutiny.

We're told that we get the government that we deserve.
Well, I don't deserve arthritis, or a heart condition,
yet I've got both.
