So why dump one old party for the other since there isn't much different between them.

One benefit with Rudd is he can speak a full sentence, even if it's cringeworthy. Imagine having Abbott represent Australia o/s.

So why change?

and hence my Thread about Labor DICKHEADS...

you braindead halfwits are politically retarded...

you've got not one clue

you are prepared to stay with the worst government in the history of Australia although all the signs should tell you that if you vote Labor again WE are F*CKED..........

if you can't get a basic Budget right you fail to have the right to exist in this world...

the Liberal Party still have 16 MPs from the Howard government... these people are smart people and already have a TRACK RECORD of being able to balance a budget...

they even gave back 38 Billion Dollars in Tax Cuts...

so if you look at TRACK RECORDS between these two parties then you'd be an idiotic moron to vote Labor again...

to say they are both the same just shows you are politically retarded and are incapable of comprehending the most basic of political policy...

all you see is RUDD... and .... ABBOTT....

after that your pea brain freezes up like a cheap computer...

seems bambu .. you are a 'glass half empty' kind of guy.

you evidently believe all the crappist propaganda you are fed...

I'd prefer another hung parliament.. with the Greens and Independents retaining the balance of power.

THAT would be worth a vote..

you men a hung LABOR govt right?? how about a minority LIBERAL govt? work for you and the independants are all going to vote for tony whenever he asks like the current crop?

Abbott's cunning, but not wise. A politician, but not a statesman. If he becomes PM, I'll be surprised if we're not at war within six months.

I'm with you on that one. I can see all 20-year-olds press-ganged into the services. I'll come out and say that war with Tasmania or Chad will follow hot on the heels of an Abbott victory at the upcoming federal election.

You heard it here first.

The ALP, the progressive party, the party of ideas, the workers' friend, is the only Australian political party to roast four young Australians in roof cavities. SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

Wrong like always adelcrow

Its Kevin and labor copying the Coalition full on most policies, labor is the one moving to the conservative point of view when it comes to dealing with the boat people, IS IT NOT ??? Grin

They have done a complete 360 degree backflip on that issue alone, they have abandoned there so call principle of compassion

Kevin Rudd done away with Howards tough border protection policies in 2008 on compassion

Kevin Rudd 2013 NOW wants to be seen as tough and more brutal going back to John Howards position on this issue, where he has abandoned all that compassion he championed before Grin

So labor is copying the coalition,

I will give you ONE BIG REASON, the Government is now attacking the personal savings of the orinary wage earner.

This is a desperate Government bereft of ideas.

Kevin Rudd has personally caused a financial disaster for Australians by his total mishandling of the Boats crisis and it is a crisis..a crisis of his making.

Now he is going into your own kids' bank accounts to pull his useless Government out of a hole he personally dug for us.

For no other reason this mob of imposters needs to go big time.

A chilling thought.

Not smart enough to win the last election though.

These "smart people" have been in opposition for the last few years. Doesn't sound too smart to me.

A fair assessment.

The ALP is far from perfect; no argument there. However, the Libs have nothing to offer at all.

No point changing government at this stage.

If the Libs decided to ditch deadwood like Abbott, Mirabella et al. during their next few years in opposition, perhaps they'll be worthy of another shot at government sometime.

Labor is incompetent.
Haven't you worked that out yet?

Oh, I have no doubt about that, but the "alternative" is equally as incompetent, which means "WE" are between a rock & a hard place.
So, WHICHEVER OPTION GETS UP AT THE FORTHCOMING ELECTION, "WE" WILL BE THE BIGGEST LOSERS!

Pity you have nothing to substantiate that comment whatsoever.
The opposition contains many ministers who were in the Howard government and that was a competent government which I will remind you was in power for 12 years.
The opposition has done a sterling job holding Labor to account for it's dismal policies, so much so two prime ministers were rolled by there own party.
Doesn't sound incompetent to me at all.

And if that's not a good enough reason for not voting for them, I'm fecked if I know what is.

Retreads, the lot of them, with their failed and rejected policies.

Ah, but it's all about the wealthfare the right think Tony will continue to shower them with.really, isn't it?

Trouble is, the ba$tard probably will, and all.

And, of course, there's this ridiculous but extremely offensive xenophobia being pushed by the Right.

A 'Right' vote is the WRONG vote.

The ALP should use that line in their campaign. It's certainly enough to discourage most intelligent people from voting for a Liberal candidate.
