Any country would be lucky to have an Obama. The ones who keep saying things against him are either racists or Republicans (Redundant, I know)

Typical Liberal/Progressive/Democrat spin.  Bring up the race card when anyone questions Obama or his parties policies.

Only the Left can be Right or is that the Right can be Left.

Both the Republicans AND the Democrats (used to be called that) are equally to blame for the mess the US is in.

 

PS. You will notice that I didn't accuse the Democrats of being racist .... I'll leave that up to Harry Reid as he seems to be doing a great job of it on his own.

Anyway, back to the real world of Australian politics.

I have it on good authority that the next Australian Prime Minister will be...

 

Sir Les Patterson

Sir Les has the looks of our average polly and with the same ethics. Now if Dame Edna ever decide to put her hand up, she would win by a land slide.

Holy cow!  What sort of new space-age discovery is holding that thing together?

How is it that in no matter what country you look that is having an election only idiots get nominated?  Isn't there ever a smart person available?

Smart people avoid politics.  Anyway, finding a smart politician would be like finding a leprechaun. He could make you rich but still no one would believe you actually found one.

Yeah smart people are smart enough to avoid politics altogether.

That's a bit like finding a good politician.... though my dad reckoned cemeteries everywhere are full of 'em.

He'd still have to be a better choice than that mongrel, Tony 'holier than thou' Abbott.

The more recent opinion polls suggest that Abbott will be our next PM.... uggghhhh, I certainly effin' hope not.

If Abbott becomes PM I'll seriously consider emigrating.

Trouble is, I can't run home to mother in the UK... she has just come home to me.

Oh well, there's always New Zealand.

a good politician is a dead politician, meaning that the good ones are dead

I didn't know there was such an animal... as a good politician.

I always thought there were bad politicians, worse politicians, and worserer politicians.

In fact, they're worse than worserer.... they'll have us out in the friggin' rain tomorrow for this damned 'compulsory' voting thing.  How effing democratic is that, in a so-called democracy.... being forced under threat of penalty to turn up at a polling station to vote.

Make a day of it.

I usually have breakfast at a cafe with a group of friends, we walk around to the local school. Vote. Then go to the pub to catch up.

Its only once every three or so years.

Yup, they do... maybe it's an indication of the calibre of politicians we have.  If voting wasn't compulsory, nobody would bother.

In communist countries, usually.  It says a lot for democracy in ours, then.  If people feel there is nobody worth voting for, it should be their democratic right to abstain.

30 min out of someone's life once every three years is not going to kill them. Having everyone vote creates a fairer system. No one is left behind. There is always the donkey vote if you don't want to vote for a jackass.

 

Today's the day, may the best woman win
