John Howard Concession Speech

Our former PM has made an art out of reading the mood of the electorate, but somehow, in 2007, he misread it completely - resulting in a landslide defeat for his Liberal Coalition government and the loss of his own seat, Bennelong.

[melbn]

The labor party today announced it is going to change the Australian emblem from a emu and a kangaroo to a condom.

This is because it reflects the Labor party's political stance more accurately. A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks,and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being fucked !!!!

REGARDS

I seem to remember the Democrats using this line about the Republicans as far back as 2003 - indulging in a bit of 'me-toosim' melbn?

[luvinsanity]

wtf is your problem, he made a great speech, I'd like to see you do better (rudds speech wasnt as good- how many times did he hav to say 'our nation australia' - i know what country i live in)

[poltoons]

I agree, Rudd's speech was pretty uninspiring and way too long - but this was probably going to be my last opportunity to animate John Howard. His departure was a sad day for satirists.

[Cyrius01]

well done!! great stuff right the way through the whole campaign!

[poltoons]

thanks, Cyrius - I have to say, the satirist in me is a little sad to see Johnny go...

[800Billabong008]

no seriously

i think that rudd is going to stuff up Australia

and i'll be watching, saying ''haha i told u so!''

i just hav a feeling

[armenianpride2126]

ye i agree wid you

[liber8me]

can i just ask mate are you a libertarian or liberal (by liberal i mean classical or neo)

[kickittome70]

Rudd is a moron. THe countries fucked. Too much immigration, too many hand outs, too much control - we're a nanny state. The trouble is that most of us a sooo stupid that wee probably would know what to do with total freedom if we did actually have it. You see, we are just here to provide labour and pay taxes. WE do what we're told and we dont a argue. Keep working, drink as much as possible and believe everything you see and hear on mainstream media. And dont get any dumb ideas like freedom.

[kickittome70]

The idea that you are more intelligent than me because you vote for the Coalition keeps working people like us divided. It's a game that has sucked in 99.5% of us, WE are basically given to piles of shit and we a then forced to choose one. Turnbull - cunt, Rudd - cunt, Bob "cocksucker" Brown - cunt, Peter Garrett - cunt, Nick Minchin - cunt. Wayne SWan - cunt - fuck em they're all a pack of useless cunts and we should replace em with computers asap.

[kickittome70]

To be honest - if they're in Canberra, wearing suits - fuck em. Couldn't give a stuff if they're Labour, Lib, Nats or Greens -they're all a pack of cunts - we should have a referendum to replace our useless pollies with computers. I'd love to be the bloke to tell them that in 2 weeks they'll be unemployed. NO more massive wastes of money,no more interference by skewing stats, no more intererence in intererst rates.Low interest rates are 1 reason we're in so much shit now. NO one saves anymore

[liber8me]

mate they're trying to make you swallow labor spin. just so you know, interest rates are low during a recession because the reserve wants people to spend more. keeping interest rates low during the good times is what howard did and took skill. keeping interest rates low during a recession can be done by any incompetent government because people lose their jobs and stop spending money.

[liber8me]

what a load of shit. the only good things keating ever did were his neo-liberal reforms of the economic system in the 80s. by the time he was pm labor had grown old. the recession we had thanks to them removed any further taste for reform.

[liber8me]

lessen 1 for you - interest rates are always low during a RECESSION and australia was still recovering from the worst recession in decades when howard took over. bragging about having low interest rates in a recession in so laughable only a labor supporter make shit like this up

[kickittome70]

Thats right zhukie - Howard preyed on ignorant, dumbed down humanoid, consumer droids like Jarrod - Keating wanted us to move forward to take our place in the world with pride and distinction, but most importantly - independence. I sum up Howard supporters like this - Imagine W.Bush and Howard in the desert. W is bending over with his head in the sand. Howard has his head up bushes ass. Then you have all the Howard fans with their head up Howards ass. Really sums it up i think.
