<p>Credit where it's due however, Labour did a mighty fine hatchet job on Rudd rather than watch him take them to oblivion in the election. Not that I'm sad to see the back of him, well actually I am as I would have liked the chance to vote the prick out, but now Labour may actually have a chance with the "NEW LOOK!" party and a fistful of cash to throw around pre-election.<br />
Unfortunately your average moron... sorry, voter, has a notoriously short memory and will probably fall for it - giving us another four years to see promises being broken, shelved, or wastefully implemented.</p>
<p>I'll vote Liberal, as I judge them to be the lesser of two evils and voting for anyone else is pretty much a waste when there's only two choices.</p>RT commented on 'FAIR SHAKE OF THE shit STORM'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef0134850011d8970c2010-06-26T02:45:30Z2010-06-26T02:45:30ZRTGreat call on the Barry Humphries similarity Prof.<p>Great call on the Barry Humphries similarity Prof. </p>Tony commented on 'FAIR SHAKE OF THE shit STORM'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef0133f1cc09ee970b2010-06-26T00:36:54Z2010-06-26T00:36:54ZTonyhttp://aftergrogblog.blogs.com/cricket/Well, obviously I meant apart from the carbon fiasco and the mining rip-off.

GILLARD is the most cunning and devious politician to come along in a generation. She will be a two term Prime Minister at least and she will destroy this country in the process with her hard core socialist agenda, mark my words!</p>
<p>One only has to dig a little into her My Schools socialist Website and the socailist NAPLAN tests (not to mention their associated rorts) to get a taste of what's to come. No one is even talking about this yet.</p>
<p>Watch her spin her way out of everything in the lead up to this election and witness her demoralise Abbott at the poles. People will buy into her lies because she's mastered the art of that already and she's only getting started.</p>
<p>People need to wise up to this woman and be very concerned.</p>
<p>None of this has has got to do with "sensible reasoned straight forward analysis", it's got to do with politics and deception and the fact that your average voter is stupid. They must be because look who we have in charge!</p>
<p>If any of it was reasoned and sensible this shambles of a leftist government would never have been voted in to begin with!</p>

<p>Doomed? No chance?</p>
<p>Great move by Labor. Had to be done. I too was predicting it, even when, only a week ago, his lying colleagues were quoted en masse as saying Rudd will lead them into the next election.</p>
<p>But predicting political outcomes in such emotive, binary terms? I'm not sure if Patrick’s being cocksure for comedy reasons or if he's serious. It's a bit like predicting Australia would be goalless and winless in the World Cup qualifying rounds.</p>TKYCraig commented on 'FAIR SHAKE OF THE shit STORM'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef013484e970d8970c2010-06-25T01:05:50Z2010-06-25T01:05:50ZTKYCraigFrom Shaun Carney, in The Age...

"However, once he won that endorsement, securing a victory for Labor so profound that John Howard lost his seat, Rudd's attachment to humility started to slowly leach away.<br />
His language became more impenetrable, his messages grew more otiose. As the evidence mounted that the public was turning away from him, there was no change in Rudd's approach."</p>
<p>HIS messages became more otiose? Critiquing a guy about 'losing the common touch' by using a word like 'otiose'... well that just smacks of linguistic hauteur.<br />
