i don’t want Howard returned either, but he always seems to manage a catastrophe of some sort to get the voters back on his side. He is just sleazy and sneaky enough to “conjure” another scare for the voters.
Like many posters here, I long to see the end of the most immoral, corrupt government this country has ever seen, but I just can’t help but feel that he has form on his side……like trying to turn the inevitable interest rate hike to his advantage…the “interest rate rise we have to have”.
I am so scared for this country, I just want to go to sleep until it is all over.
Lateline tonight..the coalition and the PM clawing back some ground…….not much, but clawing it back.
Howard and co the only ones able to steer Australia through these troubled times?
Give me a break!!!!!!!!!!!
“now is not the time to replace an experienced government with an inexperienced one”
“these thing are outside the control of the government”
I feel SO sick!!!!!!!!!!!
oh dear, i keep repeating “i will not panic, i will not panic” — surely we cant lose out sooo close to the home post! how on earth can Rudd look so relaxed and easy about it all???? Judy mutters as she stomps off to make a little wax doll of Howard and stick pins in it.
lateline 53-47 Labors stuffed with 3 long weeks to go.
What are you people on? There is statistically no change. The Libs primary vote hasn’t moved.
Gerr are you aware that such a result would still be an easy win to Labor?
Thanks Gary! Iam going to bed somewhat calmed down, and after listening to Anthony Green on lateline, I feel a bit better as well.
By the way, does EVERYBODY go to bed at this time of night?
It’s mighty quiet here tonight Will. I think it may have to do with the changes being made here.
But there is no action on Crikey, either. Unless some more people get on here somewhat quick smart, I am going to join my wife in bed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT’S IT!!!!!!!!!! I AM GOING!
GOODNIGHT ALL.
HarryH (530) My post addressed an insidious tendency of some posters to offensively categorise sections of the voting population as ‘greedy’ or ‘lacking compassion’. To observe that tendency is, itself, divisive, and self indulgent is not controversial.
