It's clear from their simplistic platitudes, empty sloganeering and cynical manipulation of genuine concerns, that as long as flawed, facile "leaders" like Howard, Bush and Blair remain in power, the "terrorist" problem will continue to grow. Nobody is safer because of the American attack on Iraq. In fact, we are all much worse off.

A creep in Canberra and a cretin in Washington! Brilliant!

y'know the more you slap it,
the more it spits back at you

You came, you sore, you cock-head?

Celebratory gunfire? Let that vicious old prick come rolling down my street and you'll hear some fucken gunfire alright!

Howard likes to think he's Bush's Deputy Sheriff and, no doubt, with control of the Senate, will do his best to prove how "tough on terrorism" he is. In this Orwellian "war on terror" fabricated by the Bushies, things can only get worse for democracy and civil liberty here, in the USA itself, and all around the world. Bank on it! The Bushies are!

"As we begin year four of the war on civil liberties, some Americans are a little more aware of what our government is doing to us, some congressmen and women are a little concerned, and a few judges are taking names and making notes. Hundreds of counties and cities, and a few states, have passed resolutions condemning the Patriot Act (which, by the way, is only the tip of the iceberg in the govt's war on its people. Much has been blamed on the Patriot Act which has nothing to do with that law)."

So who the fuck did YOU vote for? The Sandman?!

So now its not just that interests WILL rise, not just that government's treasury forecasts WERE wrong, but theres also a fucking RECESSION around the corner! Australia, you earned it!

Sure your not just grabbing the joystick all night long?

Worried about interest rates? Voted for Johnny? Sucker!

With the Rodent back and controlling the Senate I'd say the whole fuckin cuntry now has its dick caught in its fly - metaphorically speaking!

And thats why you have a fuckin rodent as PM!

Hey its not that I believed the lies of Howard, Costello, etc, its just that I dont give a rats arse!

Who is most responsible for the steady proliferation of terrorism and terrorists? The USA and Israel! And now who is most responsible for the spread of terrorism in Iraq? The USA! You bloody idiots!

Oh Mr Patriot you were right 2 years agao and thank god Aussies are right still!
Long Live your brave leader PM Howard and true warrior for freedom!

"What may have changed everything was not 9/11, but drugs. You can date the explosion in police numbers and budgets from the wholesale introduction of drugs and drug-taking into all classes of American society. Right off the bat, I cannot name another government program which has cost as much and failed as grandly as the attempt to suppress drug use. After spending a couple hundred billion at a minimum over the past 30 years, we end up with drugs everywhere, including in your children’s schools, admit it or not, and gigantically enlarged police power in daily life."

Suckers alright! Not even a week out from D-Day and already Costello' admitting Treasury forecasts of Happy Days ahead were flawed! And here comes that interest rate rise too! Now that's the kind of "experience" this bloody country needs!

All praise to those dizzying angels coz they caught it on video

Are you suggesting that fucking piece of dog vomit John Winston Howard is an act of god???!!!

20/20 hindsight!

"I have tried to understand why the prospect of a Coalition victory on Saturday fills me with such despair. Basically, it comes down to this: if the Coalition is re-elected, then all the vile behaviour of the Howard Government over the past three years is somehow vindicated. It turns out that it's OK to lie, dissemble and duck responsibility, to incarcerate children, vilify asylum seekers and take part in an illegal war.

All these things are OK because interest rates are lower today than they were a few years ago. Is that all that our society stands for? That it really doesn't matter if ethical principles have been abandoned provided the economy is growing? What does it mean to be a financially prosperous country if we are morally bankrupt? Come on Australia. Think beyond your hip pocket and through your vote tell all politicians that we accept nothing less than truthful, responsible, accountable, ethical government."

Max, you forgot to mention the fact that every major mainstream newspaper editorial supported the Weasel! It's all downhill from here

Big lies work.

Once a suckhole, always a suckhole! Have Australians got no self-respect at all?

Thats it I'm outta here! I'm moving to the land of of the long white cloud brother, and I aint coming back until the smoke clears from the rubble

And for good measure a car bomb near the Iraq Ministry of Oil. Go Johhny Go!

Australia is a tiny nation riding on the coattails of a "globalised" economy. When "it" goes, Australia will go, and there wont be a thing your Prime Minister can do about it! his statements regarding interest rates are patent nonsense.
Sven Svensen

Whoops! What was that the Rodent was saying about interest rates?

"With the federal election out of the way, the path has been cleared for a possible interest rate hike, but some economists don't expect rates to rise until next year..."

Read and laugh at the suckers who voted for the scaremongering little liar: http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/10/10/1097346692258.html

Howard used the conman's trick of stating a fact and then extrapolating it into a fiction.
The fact: "Australians know that interest rates are hundreds of dollars more affordable on the average mortgage since this Government came to office."
The fiction: "What I'm saying is, that you can always be certain that interest rates will be lower under a Coalition Government."

I heard celebratory gunfire in Burwood East last night!

In the immortal words of Dudley Moore:
THEY'RE ALL CUNTS OUT THERE!

AUSTRALIA HAS SPOKEN! IT HAS SAID: WE DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT TRUTH IN GOVERNMENT, WE ARE PUSSYWHIPPED!

This used to be a good country to live at

watch it start burning

the majority endorsed Howard

they endorse Iraq

I am scared

Newport

Johhny fucked Australia

We are more fucked now than ever before

New Zealand folks,

thats it, sell your house, make sure to take all your electronic gear, and go there (or take your chances)

there is no intelligent government or majority here

see you in Auckland

Alas, the politics of fear, greed and deceit have won. Australians have confirmed themselves to be the foolish, easily-spooked sheep John Howard always thought they were.

Wrong Max. Saddam himself was the gravest WMD threat. All right minded people could see that. And thank god President Bush and PMs Blair and Howard stood firm and saved us all from him.

Tex, I took your advice on pissing in the ballot box, but - being a coy old cock - I came prepared with a 2 litre bottle I had pre-pissed in. It was most effective! Drown the Rodent!

Religion is a mental illness. All churches, temples, mosques etc should be shut down and all religious references banned from our state institutions.

It's guess even better... um, worse, that is: "Iraq had no stockpiles of biological and chemical weapons before last year's US-led invasion and its nuclear program had decayed since the 1991 Gulf War, the chief United States weapons inspector has said." This is the head of the team the Bushies sent in with their invasion forces, remember? So now even this last dead figleaf of "credibility" is gone. All three stooges - Bush, Blair & Howard - should immediately resign!

Nonsense! The Reserve bank, market analysts and economic experts all agree that a change of government will have no impact on interest rates. The last information I have indicates that rates will rise next year REGARDLESS of who wins the election.

Brother, I need visine after reading that marathon article! but the whole US/Iraq war scandal just keeps unravelling and getting worse:

"A CIA report has found no conclusive evidence that former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein harboured Al Queda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, which the Bush administration asserted before the invasion of Iraq..."

He's already been dosed with valium, we all have, since that little prick Howlong got to be Prim Minister in '96!

and visine for those eyes!

Somebody give Max a valium!

Spot on Max. What a fucking mediocre middle class wonderland we live in. You get what you deserve, and Australia it looks like we are getting Mr Magoo again.

If the Rodent survives this election, Australia is fucked. If the Shrub survives next month's U.S. election, the whole world is fucked. And no amount of oral sex will save you from the consequences of those crazy bastards!

During an interview on Lateline, smirking like a weasle in a trap - and clearly emulating his two-faced tory master - Health Maggot Tony Abbott tried to lie about his secret meeting with Cardinal Pell, until presenter Tony Jones exposed the meeting. And the lie!
