LOSERS LOSING
What was Bob Ellis saying the other day? Something about the “Howard bandname” being “poisonously tainted, and in its final, twitching throes”? Doesn’t look like it:
The Coalition has bounced back to grab the lead from Labor, shows the latest Herald Poll, and voters are apparently convinced John Howard will stick around to fight the next election.
Despite the oil-for-food scandal, disunity between the Nationals and Liberals after Julian McGauran’s defection and the opposition to the Government’s industrial relations changes, the Prime Minister is well placed when the Federal Parliament meets next week.
According to the poll, which was conducted by ACNielsen at the weekend, support for the Coalition has jumped six points to 51 per cent and dropped six points to 49 per cent for Labor in two-party terms.
The Coalition’s lead might even increase in the wake of the wheat scandal, handled with hilarious incompetence by Howard’s enemies.
The’ll be a tilt against Big Kim within 6-9 mths
Aussies just arnt going to vote for someone who looks so physically unfit

Posted by walterplinge on 2006 01 31 at 12:45 AM • permalinkWhat the (Hard) Left have failed to understand is that the voting public (in the main) like Howard. It’s that simple.
The Left rant on and on about how terrible things are, but the voting public see low interest rates, low inflation and 5% unemployment, and other good economic numbers, and you can guess who they are going to vote for!
Posted by WeekByWeek on 2006 01 31 at 01:04 AM • permalinkof course this was going to happen. The minute Bob Ellis says:
And will Beazley win? Oh, yes.
You see if I am right.you know Howard has it in the bag
Posted by Rachel Corrie's Flatmate on 2006 01 31 at 01:35 AM • permalinkHow dare you imply that publications like the SMH and the Age are ‘hilariously incompetent’! This sort of criticism gets thrown around by the Right far too frequently and I, for one, have had enough. To call them that is to dangerously exaggerate their competence and professionalism.
They are, as we all know, on a similar level to the ‘Socialist Weekly’ rags handed out at universities across the country…
There’s only one poll that matters, anyway. But yeah, the ALP and Fairfax and the ABC have stuffed up again.
I haven’t really kept up with this story myself, but let me guess what happened. There were some dodgy dealings at the diggings regarding wheat exports to Iraq? And the media went ape, and tried to pin those sins on the Prime Minister, and in the process 1. Lost focus of the original sins and confused the hell out of people, including themselves, and 2. made themselves look like idiots when they were shown up yet again.
The Australian media are so predictable in their modus operendi that you don’t need to follow these guys. Same thing every time.
The facts of the matter are....the left completely stuffed up again, as usual.
Couldnt organise a root in a brothel (well actually they have, but that was the ALP conference)
Where’s my list.....
health system fail
economy fail
foreign relations fail
national security fail
transport system fail
water system fail
credibilty fail (thats the BIG ONE)On it goes…
(Terry McCrann is not a lefty. He used to be one of my favourite political commentators, but nowadays concentrates more on business journalism.)
Did the Age really think they could get away with such a brazen lie?
A far uglier thought: were they right?
Posted by Chris Chittleborough on 2006 01 31 at 03:46 AM • permalinkThe ABC has already linked the AWB thing with the children in the water thing..
#10 Story in the news this week that the real “love boat” which used to ply its trade on Sydney Harbour -and to which lots of ALP pollies were linked -(most notoriously Graham Richardson with two prostitutes)-is rumoured to be resting on the bottom of the harbour -in pieces.
Remember the ABC had a drama series which showed it operating and a certain Labor state attorney general being blackmailed because of it.Tim needs to post about the AWB scandal daily, otherwise his journalist credentials will expire.
Benon Sevan “vacationed” in Australia. He has eaten wheat-based products. Coincidence? Conspiracy? Tim knows.
Posted by Some0Seppo on 2006 01 31 at 10:36 AM • permalinkI have some serious questions for Ellis.
Can he name three horses in the Melbourne Cup that he is sure will perform poorly?
Which six numbers does he consider are unlikely to come up in future Lotto draws and furthermore, which ones are also unlikely to be drawn as supplementary numbers?
He can no longer justify his silence on these issues.

You’ve only got to look at the perfect example of how the rantings of the left push the geberal public into voting conservative out of the shock of realising what voting for the left means.
When the Guardian started interfering in American politics, the effect was totally the opposite of what the leftists at that paper anticipated. Bush got a bigger majority.
The more people live ‘loew’ or Ellis rant the more readers realise what follies are to be expected and vote for reason and safety.
They are not only the useful idiots of the Islamists who seek to destroy our society but the useful idiots to conservative leaders who realise that the more they write, the more gains for conservatism as people recoil from their ever increasing extremist views.
We’ve already seen notable leftists leave the fold as it creeps ever further towards untenable reasoning.
Soon they will be preaching to the small minoroty of tenured university imbeciles in their ivory towers of “learning”.#4 WeekByWeek, people are just tired of being told what to think. All I want is facts in reporting not opinions thrown into straight news, I’m perfectly capable of jumping to conclusions on my own. If I want opinion I will go to the opinion page. Furthermore, journalists keep underestimating the general public. They have no idea how ordinary people live or what they think. The journalists no longer live amongst us, they’re mostly in inner city enclaves and no longer venture out unless on an assignment.

How could this be? Mr Beazely, his voice almost a shocked tremolo, stated that this was “Australia’s Biggest Scandal!”
Mr Rudd,his head nodding in agreement with his chin, was almost but not quite , speechless. Except for four or five hundred words all faithfully repeated by Our ABC.
I think the fox has escaped again.
