In answer to your question rechtub yes!
Both sides are taking us for mugs.
Entering the campaign we heard how broke we are, untrue but helps panic the chooks.
Both sides have promised to waste cash by the ton.
Rudd seems unable to sell his policy,s, right now as badly, well nearly, as Gillard failed in that area.
However long before Rudd used the words I have reminded all Abbott is no Howard.
We are about to let him remind us all of that.
Bet those who fell for the con job say in 12 months they voted Labor!
If nothing else Labor will reform and while Tassy and SA look likely to go, state and federal governments will be our come back helpers.

Belly, glad to see you back. I've been wondering if you still had net problems, or something was reducing your posts.

Still mate, I have to say it is time for you to reduce your fearless forecasts. Political predictions do not seem to be your strong suit, particularly where Tony Abbott is concerned. I can't count the number of times you have written him off, in so many ways.

It really would be a pity if you went on writing him off for the next 9 years he will be a great Ozzie PM.

Abbott's daughters - "Which goes to show that he has never looked down on them." - but he will readily use them for political advantage when the need arises.

Nothing new there.

"If you want to know who to vote for, I'm the guy with the not bad looking daughters."

Yer all class, Tony....(and it's obvious you have no respect for the intelligence of voters - using your daughters' looks as election fodder)

Sheeesh!

Politics, loathe it or ignore it,
you can't like it!

They are quite hot though. There's no denying it really.

'not bad looking'? Such understatement.

I don't know, when politicians say nothing they are accused of being robotic, when they state the obvious they're 'using' their families.

Abbott's off the cuff sexism and un-PC ramblings are much more believable than Rudd's 'sh1t-storm' and 'suck of the sauce' gear.

The poor guy seems pretty horny lately, all these comments about sex appeal and pimping his daughters, it must be hard to get his needs met on the campaign trail.

Perhaps a visit to Scores is in order.

That being said, he is an evil reptilian dude who will sacrifice your baby
