You didn’t expect much more from him though, did you? It’s not like Grimm has proven himself to be a bastion of intellectualism and integrity, just some smallminded boofhead, like most middle-class conervatives.

Well, I actually have 2 Doctorates, neither of them in arts, so I’d wager my intellect far outweighs yours. You may want to reconsider attempting to insult peoples intellect while not knowing that small minded is two words. Way to fail, champ. 🙂

Not being a left wing halfwit hardly makes somebody small minded. I’m also far from middle class.

Do you ever get tired of being wrong?

Yet you still seem to equate the Greens with the U.S.S.R. I guess the similarities must be obvious only to an intellectual giant like yourself. What are your 2 Doctorates in, btw? Medicine or Science perhaps?

Nice to see the voice of conservatism advocating vandalism of private property.

A single anonymous person is “the voice of conservatism” and private property is a sign placed on public property?

on my drive south today along the GDE I noticed a lot of Simons Teal signs had already been smashed. young libs well and truly on the ball.

why is placing a sticker on something classified as vandalism?

So who wants to chuck in for hammer and sickle stickers for the posters Sheikh has littered every major road with?

I’ll volunteer to drive around adding some truth to the advertising.

I always assumed that’s what those little red flag icons at the bottom right corner of these thread posts was for. Report this user as a damn commie.

I just want Zed to lose so that we can one day have the headline of Zed’s Dead, Baby.

Simon Sheikh’s gorilla army…

Although I know this is a typo, it did give me an amusing mental image.

I think you guys might be reading a little too much into the colour of the signs. Sure, it isn’t green, which might mean something since that is the name of the party. But unless he replaced it will a pleasing shade of socialist alliance red, I don’t see the big deal.

Is there a pleasing shade of socialist alliance red?

Can anyone tell me why Simon Sheikh has chosen aqua for the colour of his signage (erected overnight), and not Green? Would it be because he actually sees himself as something different, but is using the Greens as a vehicle to get himself a spot?

Aqua is a combination of green and blue – blue is the Liberal’s colour. It looks like an attempt to suggest he isn’t really a Green but a conservative, an attempt to hijack Zed’s vote. Simon, this might work in your hometown hundreds of kilometres away but in politically savvy Canberra we can see right thru it.

Well, at least it’s a relatively short campaign.

really? Gillard called an election several months ago and it seems a campaign has been running since then.

Yes, but we’ve forgotten everything (the unfortunate bits, anyway) that happened before 26 June, haven’t we………?

Simon Sheikh’s gorilla army was quick to get the whole route from Tuggers to Civic signposted.

Guy’s got no chance, which on the one hand is deserved, he’s a parachute candidate which I hate and he quite obviously doesn’t give a s**t about Canberra, he made that clear on 666 this morning. But on the other hand, that means Zed looks a sure winner which is a cringeworthy prospect.

Kev will get spanked, but it doesn’t really matter. The main thing is that the Greens will get turfed out.

Tom Sefton had his ute out on Dairy Flat Road hours before the announcement.

Commando style!

Too much information.

Madam Cholet said :

Tom Sefton was standing on the back of his ute waving at cars and worrying cyclists this morning on Adelaide Ave. Looked like a tool to be honest. Out of the blocks very early, can he sustain the pace?

and I got in trouble with the wife for beeping my horn at him for polluting the roadside!

Simon Sheik and his merry band of Shakers (or should that be Sheikers) seem to have been the first to pollute the roadside with their corflute signs, Barry Drive sported quite a number of them this morning.

I was guessing he’d try and get it in early before the morons who got excited about his removal of Gillard woke up again to what a tool he really is.

Never mind, it looks like the honeymoon is well and truly over for him now, even if he’s effectively silenced Abbott.

All that fuss over a single week! Don’t tell me that anyone believes Yom Kippur had anything to do with it.

In a little over a month we’ll be liberalised and the abbot will be ordained..

Well, I lost my money. Wonder who had Sept 11 in the pool?

“thrall”.

what a relief!!! working in omgcaretakerisabouttostart crisis mode every day was getting really boring. and when i say boring i mean tiresome.
