televised debate(s)

[TigerFan]

If Howard has thrown all his ammo at Rudd tonight, he wil lose the election easily.

Howard has a two-election lead at his disposal, it's going to take more than one poor debate performance to lose Government

 

[Deegle]

Haha at Ray Martin

Surely it wasnt a fault at your end

His inability to articulate his message much beyond "70% of Labor's front bench are unionists" and "17% interest rates" must be a concern for the Libs though. They must be starting to questing if the fear campaign alone can win it.

 

[haywood jablome]

Yeah, it was pretty obviously that your knowledge of the region was seriously lacking. Thanks for admitting it.

Wow, you obviously can't pick-up sarcasm.. Read my previous post Before you said that it was Iraqis blowing up Americans, I'm telling you the main blowing up is occurring between extremists between the Shiiet and Sunni's, not "Iraqis" and "Americans". You so easily suggest that "Iraqis" are murderers.

 

[dsriggs]

Gee Ray, who won??

Depends on how the media cover his mauling. A week of negative press could do him quite a bit of harm....

The ABC just said Channel Nine were told to stop using the worm on the live broadcast or their feed would be cut, Channel Nine refused, so The Press Council who were running the debate cut Channel Nine's live feed of the debate, but Channel Nine picked up an illegal tv feed from somewhere else and kept using the worm. Classic stuff.

 

[Jumpin' Jimmy]

Game over. Howard knows he is doomed to lose. Scared rabbit in the headlights look is no longer acceptable

 

[Gift]

Rudd will win the debate, but damn.. That worm has an orgasm everytime Rudd just opens his mouth or when he just says 4 words lol

No shit they both want the US out. Do you have any idea as to what would happen if everyone packed up their bags and left the country? They don't have the current infrastructure and training to look after the country and control the extremists who will murder to try and get control of the country. There were less road side bombings and murders taking place to the public eye, what about the dictatorship that treated its people like dirt and tortured and killed anyone who dared express their opinion? I guess you think that is better than making an attempt to give the country a chance at reaching some level of freedom and expression. After all, since it was all taking place behind closed doors that makes it alright. I'm sure you are aware of Darfur, I hold the opinion that a similar state of affairs would occur if everyone left the country in its current state.

nice wall of text learn about paragraphs.

and why don't they have infrastructure? oh thats right the US blew it up!

and where is the infrastructure coming from? the US LOL billions mission, oil being shipped out and the country is in a civil war anyway.

what is the US protecting? the oil infrastructure and the capital the rest of the country has been handed over pretty much to regional warlords.

you really need to read wider than white house press releases.

I'd expect a lot of spin put on Howard's performance.

 

[mr_cellotape]

Bolt criticising Howard?!

8.57pm: Howard asks Rudd another dumb question about what he’d do to help working families. Howard may be a good politician, but he’d make a lousy journalist.

 

[Cousin Jed]

If you'd say before the night that Howard would win the climate change part of the debate, you'd have been shot.

 

[dsriggs]

I'd expect a lot of spin put on Howard's performance.

Bolt's already writing a piece on the worm's union links...

 

[Jumpin' Jimmy]

Am I the only one who cringes every time Rudd mentions broadband? It's just so... inconsequential.

No, John Howard cringes and has nightmares. That is why Rudd keeps mentioning it. Howard wants the abacus re-introduced.

 

[stephen_bayne]

Well, it did leave a red streak behind it. Coincidence?

 

[mr_cellotape]

Thanks Captain Obvious. Now you can explain to me why Iraqis who kill each other are "terrorists", as Howard claimed.

 

[dsriggs]

Howard: 29%
Rudd: 65%
Undecided: 6%

 

[Cousin Jed]

67-33
67-33
65-29

3rd time's a charm for labor huh?

 

[W.Bulldogs_Aus_WC06]

Bolt just said "learning to read and right". Idiot.

Knew you would be one of those guys ... That's why prices of oil have risen here and in the US, genius .. You are a waste of time. You are so right, before the US decided to go into Iraq, Iraq was in a beautiful state where the countries wealth was distributed evenly to the masses. Government officials just happened to live in gold palaces. You must have a short memory if you believe the country was in a good state before the invasion.

so you have no facts no understand and just abuse...

no wonder you reckon howard did well in the debate

Howard stuffed it

Howard 'over the last ten years entreprenurism has triumphed, making a few very rich' nothing wrong with that but to the public thats like saying used car salesman are our main priority

LOL... one of those guys with a clue? One of those guys with some knowledge of the region?

Time to quit mate, you are making a fool of yourself.
