"I will be judged" says John Howard, arrogantly.

One commentator rhetorically asked if the latest revelation about Perky's grievances against the old c*nt gave the treasurer's "leadership ambitions" legs... Well, pardon me while I piss myself laughing: WORMS DON'T HAVE LEGS!

Oh yes, you little turd, you WILL be judged, along with your team of horror clowns (including smirking Pete). I just love the spin: GST=tax reform, Iraq Oil War=national security, Stealth ID Card=????, massive household debt=prosperity, grinding welfare recipients into the ground=full employment. I could go on about housing, cheap third-world labour, importing global poverty and suchlike.
Thanks Ron, for your coherent analysis in a land and time gripped by Howard's rapacious idiocies.

Because it has been outstanding for the ordinary Aussie battler.

1. More money in your pocket?
Yes
2. Are your assets worth more than ever?
Yes
3. Stop wasting money on bleeding heart lefty elites?
Yes
4. Protect Australia from crazy Muslims?
Yes
5. Stop boatloads of free-loaders hitting our shores?
Yes

And that's why the polls are returning to PM Howard (check latest Morgan poll). He has been our greatest PM ever.

Digger, there are 1.5 trillion Oz household debt dollar reasons why the Howard and Costello gang should by strung-up with piano wire, while their impoverished, foreclosed, homeless victims are invited to watch justice working for them for a change.

Even Hewson has come out to confirm what we all know: neither Costello and Howard have had much influence over the economy, it's all been a lucky streak bound to end... and end it shall, just in time for Elmer Fudd to win the PM-ship. Batten down the hatches, boys and girls, and clear your debts... the shit's about to hit the fan!

personal irresponsibility on your Prime Minister? The fact that people in your country rack up 1.5 million dollars of debt buying big-screen TV's, gambling, luxuary cars, pet Kangaroos, etc. - that's somehow supposed to be your Prime Minister's problem. Riiiiiiiiiight.

I get it now. LEFT BENT THINKING: It's the government's job to make sure that I don't have too much money. It's the government's job to make sure that I don't spend too much money. It's the government's job go insure that I don't go into debt. It's the government's job to take care of me when I'm sick. It's the government's job to make sure churches will marry homosexuals. It's the government's job to wipe my arse for me. It's the government's job to clean my penis chease for me. It's the government's job to protect me from bullies. It's the government's job to insure that I'm never offended by anything. It's the government's job to castrate every male and inject females with testosterone so that the sexes will be physically equal. It's the government's job to provide "skin bleaching" and brain enhancement to darkies so that there will be no racial inequality.

What else should the government do for you Lefty-Liberal?

Jesus Ricky, ease up a bit. Go and sleep with your favourite pig, or whatever it is you hill people do to relax. If the colonials in Oz want to be ripped off by greasy property pimps and even more sleazy politicians, it is surely their right and their own business. I would never lower myself to dealing with any of the type of commercial scum that orbits around the Oz land-price Ponzi rackets. I have recently learnt how John's crew weasel out of paying for services rendered, and I'm not pleased at all. We must feel sorry for these doomed colonials Ricky. Soon this antipodean wasteland will be indistinguishable from Iraqistan's desert regions. Not for me, but it's okay if you like that sort of thing...

of dopy things coming out of any of the Southern States.

And, I figure on Australia being one of my southern state allies. See, y'all are even more south than we are. Y'all have the same problems we have with forigners and native injuns. Y'all speek the King's English like we do. And, y'all is mostly Scotts-Irish descent like we are. So, I consider many Australians my Brothers in Arms...that have been temporarily dissarmed, unfortunately. I know you talk a little queer, but I rekon that don't make no nevermind.

Now, you'r John Howard ain't such a bad sort for the most part, but he went over the top when the done took all your guns and ammo away. We can't stand for that, now. NO SOUTHERN STATE CAN HAVE THEIR CITIZENS UNARMED!

From same 7.30 report interview. My comments in ( ):

JH: "Judge it by the 33 year low in unemployment (due to workers having wage reductions so business owners can afford to employ more staff). the
elimination of Government debt, (and the increase in household debt to over 1 trillion dollars) the reforms to the tax system, the reforms to the waterfront, (scab labour/remember the Patricks debacle) the reforms to industrial relations.

Kerry: "Regardless of what Peter Costello is saying to undo the damage today, his words in these considered interviews for the book are clear.
He thinks your record as Treasurer was poor on reform, on interest
rates, on inflation and apparently in Government on a pattern of
spending your way out of trouble as Prime Minister.

Can you understand why he would have done this knowing it would be
published in this climate in the shadow of an election?....what does it say about Mr Costello's political
judgement that he would allow his personal feelings about you to
potentially jeopardise your chances of winning the next election?"

>>John Howard of course sidestepped the enquiry from Kerry but as we all know it is Pete's way of saying, "I thought you said you would step down and let me be PM, but since you didn't, I am going to sully your next election campaign as revenge for your broken agreement. Screw you. Let's see how well you do now.
Even GWBush advised Howard to step down last year when he was in the US, adding that he should leave when he is at the top of his game for history's sake if nothing else.

Ron.
