Howard Appreciation Thread

[ep2018]

Well this isn't a topic for you 'Laborites' to troll in.

Please post about John, how he represented our country for eleven years and turned it into what it is today (an economic success).

Bye Bye Howard... It's a RUDDSLIDE!!!!

 

[chooke]

Yes, John Howard caused the growth in China and put our resources in the ground. If this is your premise for an "appreciation" thread and since most of the economic growth is coming out out of WA and Qld, why don't you start an ALP State Govt appreciation thread?

 

[79Vintage]

Let's just see how long it takes one political journalist to run with the story they've been keeping secret for the past ten years.

 

[Mossie]

Did he leave the Minerals or take them with him?

YOU GAVE US WORKCHOICES WE GIVE YOU VOTECHOICES !!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Welcome back Labor.

 

[Dont be a lemon]

With the possible exception of some firearms laws, I can't think of anything that Howard deserves to be "appreciated" for.

Firearm laws is about the only thing I appreciate Howard for, but I'm sure the ALP would have introduced tougher gun restrictions ten years ago as well.

 

[CharlieG]

I appreciate that he is gone.

The good: gun control, East Timor, VSU and the GST.

The bad: WorkChoices, Iraq, slashing education funding, lack of government accountability, stigmatising welfare, politicising the public service, the Pacific solution, pandering to bigotry and prejudice, discrimination against homosexuality, abandoning reconciliation, killing the Republic, smashing civil liberties.. you get the picture.

You get no thanks from me, Howard. Enjoy watching the cricket with Janette for the rest of your life - in fact, that's the sort of purgatory you deserve.

 

[Borry]

While he will go down as one of the greatest prime ministers in this country, I'm glad that he is gone and I say good riddiance.

Lifes been great for the last 10 years.

Anyone who says otherwise is a just a sooky, whiney little bitch who should **** off to a country that actually does do it tough.

Not a happy chappy this morning?

I didn't vote Liberal.

So that kinda ****s up your theory

I just realise how lucky i am to live in this nation, and the last 10 years has been great.

Someone isn't taking the loss well. Just remeber ASMS, this is how the non-johnny supporters felt the morning after every election he won.

You are going to be very disappointed in Rudd.

He has already made clear he will continue with abridged version of Pacific Solution, wont bring in gay marriage, wont indulge in token reconcilation/treay agenda for aboroginals and wont hold a referendum on the republic.

Thats a fair portion of your list. Disregard politicisation of PS (they all do that) and it doesnt leave you much.

This reminds me a huge amount of when the Tories were completely smashed in the UK. Blair was the new shining thing. Camelot all over again.

Now a real hate figure for the left.

I really don't give a shit who won or loss.

Rudd looks like a paedophile which isnt a good look for a national leader, but he seems like a decent enough chap who who will either change little or complelely **** everything up due to having an even bigger bunch of arse clowns surrounding him than howard had.

As long as Rudd doesn't let the unions into power again life should remain the same.

 

[Grin]

Let's not forget that, with his detention policy, Howard is the worst serial child abuser in living memory.

None of you extremist right wingers has been able to explain to me why you get soooo much pleasure from the suffering of small children.

Like in anything in life, follow the correct procedures and rules and you won't end up in these situations.

Obviously you support breaking any laws one wishes as long as the end justifys the means.

Or do you jsut apply rules willy nilly to whatever suits your needs?

Seeking asylum is not breaking the law.
The vast majority were proven to be genuine refugees.
International obligations and basic human decency get very short shrift from you right wing fundies.

On the one hand Sadam was so evil Howard had to lie and cheat to go to war with him. On the other hand, children fleeing his regeme were treated worse than convicted rock spiders, for the entertainment of people such as your self.

Shame on you.

 

[medusala]

We shall see.

Indeed we shall.

I suspect he will follow the Blair path of caution in his first term.

Maybe if the Greens get the balance of power you might see some deals re your progressive agenda.

 

[Mick Hunter]

We're back

Johnny here's a tip for your successor.

If you treat people like slaves, sooner or later they will turn on you and throw you out.
Who ever dreamed up workchoices cost you everything

Not if you follow the correct procedures like so many people do world wide year in, year out.

I came from another country to live here, but i did it the correct way.

I didn't pay a shitload of money to be brought illegally into Australians waters.

You are ****ing full of shit dude


And you're a total sucker.

I have some land in Nigeria for sale, want to buy some?

YOU GAVE US WORKCHOICES WE GIVE YOU VOTECHOICES !!

just the name would've put the fear in voters...choices? like ****, you sign or you don't get a job and that's it.

perhaps we've seen the last of the great wedges and hopefully the last of a man who seeks to divide along ethnic lines. Hopefully we've also seen the last of a man who uses fear to control the masses!
