#12  The media theme when conservatives are in power:

Underneath the happy surface lurks darkness and despair. Note their emphasis on family, religion, economy, stock market, improvements in Iraq - etc. Etc. Economy doing well - doom awaits!

The media theme when liberals are in power:

Sure, everything has gone to s&*t - but if you just wait long enough, it will be great fertilizer

#11  over? Heck it's just beginning. You'll have to listen to years and years of analysis how they aren't really screwing you over, it just feels that way.

#10  I'm over it. Commercial free election T.V is the most boring thing i have ever seen. Thank God they had Star Wars Movie on Channel 10, otherwise i would of went insane listening to all the political B.S. 6 Weeks of campaigning and watching them talk crap on t.v, thank god its over, thank god it's over. It doesn't matter who is Elected, all the Politicians tell lies.

#9  Personally, I would have preferred Kim Beazley to Kevin Rudd - I think he would have made a much better PM and was more deserving of the position.

Over at Damian Penny's someone was saying that the moonbat love for Rudd was ominous. I replied that it wasn't love for Rudd, but hate for Howard. It was the same with Mark Latham, who turned out to be a bit of a nutter. But poor old Beazley, who was a man of some sense, did not inspire the same pseudo-affection.

I always thought Prime Ministering did not suit Howard; he always looked as if his ulcers were gnawing at him. Perhaps even now he and Beazley are kicking back, laughing in their beers.

#5  I think it's over - a Labor victory. Personally, I would have preferred Kim Beazley to Kevin Rudd - I think he would have made a much better PM and was more deserving of the position.

#2  Damn. Very disappointing. I've no idea whether Labour is as clueless and morally imbecilic as their counterparts in other western countries - but I know Howard's folks got things very right on the big questions. Unlike their US ally, they also managed to state the case clearly and emphatically.

#1  Exit polls say Labour will win comfortably.
