heheheheh I actually got polled by Newspoll for this one—have been rung before but never actually surveyed, this time I was.

Liberal Party Voter: "The only poll that counts is the poll on election day".
 

;D

Poll added.

Most Lib voters are at work, earning an income to have it stolen it taxes, not at home, sitting on their bum, talking on the phone whilst watching days of our lives....

Ah, so you're obviously one of us. Welcome to The Party, Comrade!

I got polled Saturday. Believe it or not, Swaggy, but pollsters do know people work and so on  :D That is why they ring at night as well as the weekend.

The younger, lefter (to coin a word) part of the electorate is hardest to reach, so the effect you talk of means Libs are OVER represented in the sample polled.

Daggy has had this explained to him before, but refuses to admit to the truth of it.

Repeat a lie often enough and all that......

;)

BTW.....

How many rogue polls is this now???

;)

Yeah, didn’t think it was the first time he said it  ;D

Such a martyr to work young Swaggy, can only spend 3 hours on the forum on work days  ;D

who can keep count? suffice to say that we haven't had a properly poll since the election .. they've all been rogue  :D :D

This Newspoll will be the last one for the year and there won't be another for about six weeks. It is the latest December Newspoll for several years; usually the last Newspoll of the year is a week earlier (6/12/10; 5/12/11; 10/12/12; 9/12/13).

The next Federal Newspoll is due in late January or early February.

Every news poll I've done( and I did about five while Beasley was Labor leader so back in those days) was on a Sunday afternoon. So that wipes out that theory  of yours Sherlock. ::)

I’ll have you leftards know the only poll that counts is the one on erection day.

Right now, Mr Abbott is our.Prime Minister. He’s also our Roads and Infrastructure Prime Minister.  He’s also the Minister for Women’s Affairs.

You leftards can suck it up. You won’t get rid of our Prime Minister with one rogue poll.

Mr Abbott is here to stay.

Mr Abbott is here to stay.Mr Abbott is here to stay. . .until 2016 unless the Lib party room grows a backbone.

Good point. Hard working Liberals don’t have time to stop and deal with all these leftard pollsters, it’s ridiculous.

Yes, but if they switch leaders they’ll have to find a new Minister of Women’s Affairs.

Days of Our Lives, that still going?

Barnaby Joyce. He has such a feminine surname.

Given that is was Julie Bishop and Malcolm Turnbull who complained about Peta Credlin..maybe they will be the new leadership team in 2015  :D

Yes, he most certainly would, Skippy. Barnaby Joyce too, Bam.

Mr Hockey will probably need a new job soon, however, and I can’t think of a better candidate for Women’s Affairs. It’s jobs for the boys, no?

Sorry, grown-ups. Our women are in safe hands with the grown-ups in charge. Stopping the boats, scrapping the carbon tax and building the roads and coal ports of the 21st century is the best thing that’s ever been done for our ladies.

Thank heavens the grown-ups are back in charge.

Haven’t you heard? They’re giving the lovely Ms Credlin a nice safe seat. She’s be our next parliamentary secretary to the Prime Minister’s Office.

Good times, eh?

actually that was said by John howard when he was 46/54 behind in 2001.

The Rodent had money to bribe voters and 9/11. monkey has no money to bribe anyone.

True.....but the lying rodent ...........lied............. about children overboard/Tampa.  Howard used that to have a very effective influence over the only vote that counts.

Exactly. You certainly know your history, Longy. Who do you tip as the next minister of Women’s Affairs?

What do you think of Arthur Sinodinos?

Thanks, Longy. When do you think the wretched JuLiar will follow Craig Thomson and be charged with theft?

Alan will ask this on the radio tomorrow, so it would be good to think of an answer.

Personally, I think she should be charged with murder for killing off her father.

That is beyond the boundary of humor and decency karnal.

Bloody hell............you obviously need a refresher course on satire/irony.....or maybe even what is known as 'taking the piss out of the Parrot.'

No, I think it went too far.

Karnal’s humor is OK if rather repetitive for the most part, but nope not that line, is not humor.

between Karnals terrible attempts at satires and Georges appalling level of intelligence, that was always going to be an epic fail.

Whereas I reckon it was one of his very best, giving it to the Parrot (Allan Jones) right between the eyes at about eyelash level.

If it had been the chaff bag and not the father I would probably agree, but this wouldn't be the first time we didn't....

;) ;) ;)

Allan Jones and Andrew Bolt would both agree with Karnal...in fact it would be no surprise if Credlin was working on a murder charge for Ms Gillard as we speak  :D

You promised to.answer any serious question. I gave you a verbatim Alan question. I can’t think of a more serious broadcaster than Alan, so if you don’t answer this you’re no better than the awful JuLiar.

All thigh, no breasts, and a big red box.
