J Bower did you reach deep down in your understanding for those two sneering posts?
Or is it more likely that is your best?
Lets not trouble our selves the truth is like its favorite party the American Republicans, notably Tea Party section of that mob.
Republicans and soon Liberals must confront the truth policy's of the extreme right cost votes and seats.

Belly your temper tantrum is understandable but you will just have to calm down, abide by our democratic institutions and just seethe, preferably in silence.

P, et al,

I must be a stealthie, I prefer a government that gets to work to meet its commitments. The opposite of stealthie would be a whiny, who prefers a government of talking heads that promise everything and delivered nothing like their promises.

I see that the whinys can't bring them selves to address the Tea Party tactics of their talking heads.

Dear Poirot,

I found the Sydney Morning Herald article spot on
as well. And of course it now becomes crystal
clear the reasons why people like Shadow Minister
are so supportive of Mr Abbott and his team.
Even his moniker makes sense - the key lies in
the word "Shadow," both for a suporter and the
phantom government (government by stealth) that he supports.

Foxy,

People like SM would support their favoured dimwits no matter how low they sunk.

Have you ever heard SM criticise the LNP..at all..anytime?

Also watch him parrot almost verbatim what silly Tones and his band of sewn-lipped cronies yabber about the Tea Party.

It's a line - nothing more...and not even a believable one!

That's the extent of the SM's of this world.

(They're boring too:)

Foxy my sweet, I'm sorry, [well I'm not really] to shatter your illusions, but I just heard on no lesser authority than the ABC, that in the only poll they have our illustrious PM, Tony Abbott has increased his approval rating, & the coalition vote, since the election.

Even despite what our failing education system, Ozzies are not so dumb after all.

Aint it grand!
