		<description>steve, did you notice all the sawmill workers in &quot;your rights at work&quot; caps? Did you also notice how sullen they were compared with the cheering Tasmanians of &#039;04?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;He claimed to be a Young Lib on entering the house, then pranced around in a Che shirt, and then claimed to know nothing (and care less) about politics. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
Yep, sounds like a typical Young Lib to me.</description>

		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/08/07/1999125.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Canberra sawmill pork&lt;/a&gt;?

&lt;blockquote&gt;The federal funding is conditional on the New South Wales Government giving the mill a long-term license.

Labor&#039;s candidate for Eden Monaro has supported the announcement, but Mr Nairn says the matter is now up to the NSW Government.

&quot;We&#039;ve said that we will provide operating funding for about four months, up to $4 million, but you&#039;ve got to have the long-term contract there for logs,&quot; he said.

&quot;It&#039;s the State Government that&#039;s got the wood, so it&#039;s up to them now to do something, rather than throw all these people out of work.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Another conditional scam tied to a States Performance.  He&#039;s getting more desparate by the hour now.</description>

		<description>Peterc:

Yes, he&#039;s tried the old &quot;no one told me&quot; line once too often.

For a bloke who committed us to a war on the basis of a pack of &quot;cooked-up&quot; lies, it&#039;s just not good enough to say, as he does, that he didn&#039;t know they were lies.

Even of that&#039;s true, he should have bloody well checked the facts, re-checked and double checked them before peddling them to the public as undeniable facts and putting Aussie lives on the line.

The fact that he didn&#039;t inevitably makes him incompetent. And that&#039;s the good news.

And if he&#039;s lying again (as I suspect he is, given his treatment at the time of people like Andrew Wilkie), he&#039;s just reminding people of what a dissembling little rodent he really is.

We all know the true story of the Iraq war, and it was nothing to do with poor little dopey Johnnie being misled.

It was a product of a well crafted and assiduously-worked deception by the US, British and Australian Governments of their respective peoples. It was about dodgy intelligence cooked-up and served a-la mode, to suit a political agenda.

His political agenda.

I reckon people are sick of the sight of him.</description>

		<description>On the 7:30 report also, Howard attempted to counter O&#039;Brien&#039;s question about public perception of him as a liar by saying:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&quot;I really did believe their were WMD, and so did everbody else, including the UN&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
 or words to that effect. And:

&lt;blockquote&gt;I released the video of the children overboard to prove that it actually happened&quot; &lt;/blockquote&gt;

or words to that effect.

Trouble was, his attempts to negate these whopping lies came across as more lies.  The body language and voice gave it away I thought - he really didn&#039;t seem comfortable.

Of course by now he probably DOES believe at least half of his own bullshit.

However, (as I have mentioned before), he seems to like coming from behind as a modus operandi - will it work this time?  It may again.  But looking desperate doesn&#039;t help.</description>

		<description>&quot;I love the smell of desperation in the LibNats&quot; and â??a load of crapâ??.

What is this? poo pants corner.

Frankly, sensible people would stay well clear of those on the nose.
Stockmarkets volatile, sinecures unsecure, nervy shit happening?

Spray the room with Kev&#039;07 ....and leave the room fast.</description>

		<description>I think you are all overdoing Dutton,I couldnt careless about him being a ex cop,Bill Hayden was too,and I thought Bill was great,and many people thought him that.Especially those who attended a very large demonstration for Aboriginal LandRights and anti-uranium in Melbourne.Dutton certainly has a problem in being a Lideralunder Howard,I think ,however the statement will hold merit ,whatever the process of the election brings..and some hear,and I am not mistaken, have countenanced more than once the matters of the infallibility of the man.</description>
