      I tell you what…that Kevin Rudd is a great orator !  But only when he’s answering the Dorothy Dix-ers put to him by his own side !  Still cannot answer a straight question from the opposition with a straight answer.

      Your comment: - Odd thing to say Mr Coward - I thought he answered “Mr Policy’s” bullshit quite appropriately..

      Kevin Rudd will go down in history as the greatest talker but worst prime minister we have even seen. Can not answer a question with an answer, he answers questions with spin.

      Yeah right on! We need another Prime Minister like ‘Honest John’ Howard… he never employed spin about anything. Why would he have needed to when he was such a practised and accomplished liar? When are you people going to give up? The Howard government have been recorded and duly noted as the most shamefully dishonest and cynically manipulative government in our nation’s history. Myopic, vaccuous, jingoistic spineless cowards to a man (and ‘woman’ in some cases(?)) who idly sat bywhile Howard’s ego drove thenm to the electoral annihilation he and they so richly deserved! Take a look a Joe Hockey; he’s already trying to ingratiate himself to generation X (or XXL in his case); he knows Abbott’s an irrelevancy leading a shambles to another electoral humiliation. We don’t need the sort of rightwing Christian neo-conservative disaster that’s been visited on America, which is all Abbott can offer. Apparently you’ve hitched your little red wagon to his flogged dead horse.

      So PUNCH.
      How do you eliminate the silly bloggers that are so obviously party faithfuls, just obeying their bosses and blogging rubbish under different names, to try and influence discussion or opinion.
      And of course you, PUNCH, are impartial and will treat all these anonymous party hacks equally. I DOUBT THAT.
      PS - I go by the same and only pseudonym all the time
      Anyway, they do provide hilarious reading. I cannot believe some of the dribble that comes out.

I'm one of the older ones, so I've certainly seen a few changes in my time. When I started school I learned to write with a nib pen, dipped in an inkwell (no, I'm not kidding).
