I don't understand why no one good ever runs for office. It's so troubling to see the "rat bags" as you so aptly call them, assume office while intelligent and ethical people don't. That makes me believe that at least in some elections we don't have a choice anymore. Everybody I talk to - everybody I meet - all say the same thing: we have lunatics running our government. That's why I think they're tampering with the votes. We found evidence of voting fraud in our state and not one person called us back. They must know it. I worked for a woman who was in politics one time and she told me that it's very corrupt. She said she was supposed to run and someone made a phone call and she was out - it was something like that. And that was a number of years ago. It almost seems that a prerequisite is being a moral dirtbag.
If you run for office they will kick you down, most people in such are in it for themselves only, so one is font to be surrounded by thugs that will try every dirty trick in the book on you, not to mention that the media will back all the dogs up to the hilt.
How many times have I heard someone say something that was totally twisted around by the media or shut down the debate by ones own Party.
One that Senator Cory Bernardi asked about, on changing the definition of Marriage, had both the PM and his deputy turn on him like wolfs for asking a truly serious question, like are we going to have people marriage between humans and animals etc next ? well they do in other Country's, Germany for one I believe.
The Opposition Leader went right off his rocker yelling at him like a wild dog.
It's all about getting the law changed by stealth and then from there on they can just keep going with all depraved things will just follow on from their.
The public will swallow anything if it's gift wrapped well enough. as with the bastardisation of the definition of Marriage, they claim that this is 'only' about two people who want to be and nothing at all more than that at all, that's what the PM said ! fact is that's a total lie ! but people believed that he was honest, if he was honest he must be much stupider than he comes across, or he is totally satanic, truly I am of the belief that he is Satanic, I was pointing out to people his whole history and for people to go look it all up, no to mention that he made his fortune in ripping off investors, he is with the big banks, he is a turncoat. he was loved by the opposition Party, when he first started out he wanted to be a member of the opposition party but they would not have him.
He worked to kick out all of the conservatives in the Party and make it into a Socialist Party by stealth but got kicked out and then went on to attack his own party with malice, he had the safest seat and the party lost that seat, because of his malice and total support for the opposition.
Not to mention that the media were claiming to be totally oblivious to why he got kicked out of the Party, making out that something is wrong, well the fact is that the loyal Party members their whole lives were jumping ship in droves, but the media did not report that fact. so the Media must be totally stupid or Satanic.
