The hypocrisy of Rudd is there for all to see, as he sermonises on the steps of the church Sunday morning. And as people will see if they take the time to read the full article, he, Rudd, uses the most foul language I've ever seen from anyone, let alone a politician. I apologise to Keating, here and now. His was a clever use of words and he could hit below the belt, but I never remember reports of him using the kind of language,that Rudd uses... and yet there are still those who still say 'that nice Mr Rudd'.

My main concern is how many of us is he going to drag down with him.

Reminds me of the wacko who dragged a middle European country down 70 odd years ago.

"They don't deserve me, so let them suffer as I suffer" or words to that effect

Maybe Rudd doesn't care. As an ex PM he gets a basketful of freebies, which WE will continue to pay for, and he has a very rich wife with a lucrative business. Even though he goes to church his morals are not very Christian.

Gizmo Rudd and his Mrs who doesn't use his name (wonder why?) are worth around 56 million between them - most of it earned by Howard privatising the Commonwealth Employment Service so he doesn't need the money from his super but will get it and his perks - forever more once he leaves office.



It will be a bit of a pain in the arse for him but as he will have to sit on the benches if he keeps his seat - until Banke Moon's time if up as Secretary General of the United nations which Rudd has his eye on and why he will not go against them even though following the UN Treaties has cost every Australian dearly in money and freedoms. Some waiting for public housing and living in car with kids more so as the illegals of which some 6000 under Rudd in last few months - get the houses in front of those on the lists even those with no roof and no money left for a hotel for them either seemingly. On woman living with 2 kiddies in her car - one of whom as sick and died recently - whilst money being spent - on illegals, 80,000 each boat person and then there is the 750 million 0er year cost of running the 10 detention centres where over stayers are kept endlessly seemingly waiting to be deported - why they don't just keep them overnight or 2 nights and on a plane? Incompetent? Inert?



What worries me is that they will delay and put in Julia in the hope of snagging government again and we will be like the UK Greece Spain Italy and Ireland all of whom had left wing Labor style governments for too long and run up huge debt and deficits and may well yet bring down the rest of the world unless they cut costs etc and that usually ends up like Spain where they cut public servants wages by 5% and of course the poor age pensioners too! Who cant go get a job in the private sector or even a bit of work if like here where old and don't want you!



Julia Gillard is as tainted by incompetence as Rudd in that she is responsible for wasting in her own portfolios major part of the 16 billion on schools and then the computer for every child fiasco and on top of all that she was supposed to train the new company workers how to put in insulation without endangering lives by making the rooves live with electricity or killing the workers themselves.



Penny Wong, Swann and most of the others are tainted but not as badly as the top two. Also Julia was in charge for much of the time as Rudd swanned around the world strutting the stage and telling all the other leaders how to run a country !

And as people will see if they take the time to read the full article, he, Rudd, uses the most foul language I’ve ever seen from anyone, let alone a politician. I apologise to Keating, here and now. His was a clever use of words and he could hit below the belt, but I never remember reports of him using the kind of language,that Rudd uses… and yet there are still those who still say ‘that nice Mr Rudd’.



I agree with all your posts and remember Rudd being touted as our go-between in dealing with China, the very people he has called f***ers and rat-f***ers. How will he live that down?



Keating on the other hand, and as you say Koko, could cut someone to the bone without resorting to swear words and gutter politics.



Now Ive had a chance to read the whole article it only gets worse for Rudd. I note Andrew Bolt suggests David Marr's essay, in which he claims Rudd is driven by core anger, is wrong its INSECURITY and the response you get when an insecure person is threatened, thwarted or belittled.



Just wait until the election campaign gets into full swing and watch the (Labor) proverbial fly under Rudd's orders.

Or as the Prime Minister put it: “If what we see in the polls today is reflected on election day, Mr Abbott would be the next Prime Minister of Australia ... I don’t believe Australian families are prepared to risk their future with Tony Abbott.”







[color=red][/color]Yes all very true and I wouldn't vote for Abbott in a pink fit



He’s Catholic. He’s “phony Tony”. He’s the “mad monk”. He wears lycra. He hates women. He’ll take away your penalty rates.



Yes also true and the workers will be forgotten as they always were with Howard

Just a question or 3 PlanB, regarding Tony Abbott

He's Catholic!! That is more a Labor trait. So was Skullin & Keating & so

is Rudd & 26% of Australians still are. What is your particular objection

to a Catholic Prime Minister in a Country made up of over 70% Christians?

Would you prefer a Muslim or a Budhist or maybe an athiest?

He's Phony Tony !! Where did that motto come from?

He's the Mad Monk !! What has he done that is mad?

He wears lycra !! The only thing that Rudd & I have in common, is that

we both wish that we could still fit in to ours.

He hates women !! Where the hell did that come from? Wasn't he the

one that won over an enormous number of Rudd loving women with

his proposed paid Maternity leave?

He'll take away your penalty rates !! I think that emanated from Rudd, as well.

Some of best friends are Catholic--however Abbott seems to seek a bit of guidance from the like of Pell--



Well he has made some mad statements--and ums and ahs a lot--



He can wear what he likes how ever he seems to like his exposure in the sporting field--and how he would have the time to run a country and follow his sporting I don't know.



The proposed maternity leave he suggested was way over the top and would send busineses broke--same goes for Rudd--and IMO if you can't feed em don't breed em--or work part time while the kids are at school, why have kids if you are going to allow someone else bring them up?



Take away penatily rates --Howard brought that in--and Abbott will continue that--Rudd still has it to a degree--but nothing like the Libs

PlanB, Not very good reasons for not voting for him in a pink fit. I would

imagine that a lot of Catholics would accept some religious guidence

from Pell. What mad statements? He ums & ahs on a couple of occasions

because his interviews are spontanious, not scripted, with forbidden

questions like Rudd. I am sure that he would reduce his sport, if he was

elected, but, in any case, Little Honest Johnny spent a lot more combined

time with his daily walks & sporting events than Abbott does, & Howard

managed to do a passable job. If you don't care what he wears, why did you

give it as a reason to not vote for him? I agree that paid maternity leave

should not be introduced. But it wouldn't break anybody, it would just add to

the passed on costs of the Companies. In any case, it is not the approach

of a misogynist. As a closing point, there are rumours flying around that

Rudd may be mildly bi-polar & if you think Abbott is mad, you could always

vote for Bob Brown. He has not been certified YET !!!

--I think religion should be kept out of politics--might be good to have good values but not religious opinions.



Howard did walk a lot but that is nothing like Abbott--I have a friend that bike rides competitively and believe me there is a lot of training to do.



As far as what he wears--that was part of the "quote" I copied



IMO opinion anyone that chooses to take on the job HAS to be mad --lol --and or very egotistical

PlanB, you said it, not me:-



Yes all very true and I wouldn’t vote for Abbott in a pink fit

He’s Catholic. He’s “phony Tony”. He’s the “mad monk”. He wears lycra.

He hates women. He’ll take away your penalty rates.



You have just backed off on every point, so why would you not vote

for Abbott in a pink fit?

I wouldn't vote for Abbott because don't think he has a mind of his own--he is not leader material--and there is not one in the Liberal party --at this time --that I do like--

We finally got there PlanB.

That leaves you a simple choice. You can vote for Catholic, no lycra

Rudd who gets interviewed outside the Anglican Church every Sunday

or Bob Brown !!

As I said before, "God help Australia"

Well no not a lot of choice as The Greens would never get in--I don't think--and I would hope they wouldn't--or we would be in a far worse state--so no not a lot of choice at all--never is--only the big 2 will ever get in.
