Pre-Election Electioneering

I’ve noticed that ‘would be’ Chairman Zed has already began campaigning for the October Election with an advertising package. Well one can only hope that it is a worthwhile investment for the ACT Liberals. Lord knows they’ve invested poorly in the past….

Anyway, suppose we’ll now live through a protracted campaign.

Who is Read? LOL

Really – why do ignoramuses like you bother posting pure unfounded speculation which you attempt to portray as fact and in the process expose yourselves for gossip queens of the highest order who haven’t got the slightest idea of what your talking about.

I know the majority of RA’s think that are really “in the know” and posses some superior and elite knowledge of how EVERYTHING in the Territtory operates – I do not pretend to – but at least I don’t get on and make unfounded, irrelevant and downright stupid comments about topics which I really have no idea about.

READ: No you are NOT smart, that comment was NOT witty, your point of view reminds me of those of a five year old (I apologize to any five year olds reading this) and lastly why don’t you go and GET A FUCKING LIFE before posting your banal and mundane comments – and how about a bit of integrity -BACK IT THE FUCK UP!!!

Thats all,

Cheers from Mr Pip

err – wrong thread.

Every time I hear the old SMS “dit dit dit – dah dah – dit dit dit” (morse code for SMS) I subconsiously do a “dit dit dit – dah dat dit – dit dit dit”, morse code for SGS.

SGS, he’s that extra dit.

From amount of lively vigour and personality he displays in his pre-campaign campaign ads, Zed might well be deadand just another Liberal Party puppet, Weekend at Bernie’s style.

Interestingly, even though Troy Williams now says he’ll lend the Liberal Party all the support he can, possibly including his elite squads of sticker-placement technicians or a swarm of legbreaking thugs…

His facebook status is now “Troy Williams is plotting the downfall of civilisation”.

Kate Carnell started that trend, didn’t she???

Everytime I hear Zed’s name, I can’t help but think of Bruce Willis in Pulp Fiction: “Zed’s dead, baby. Zed’s dead…”

HA….I understand that Brendam Smythe has had a similar experience (talk to the local cops). As with Minister Hargreaves….it’s ok to drink and drive if you are a local pollie.

Oh well. I think it is viable. It most certainly is. Who ever said it had to be 100% government funded?

Come on, get some real policies. Ah sorry, I forgot that everybody gets drugged up to the eye balls on the way home from work in their cars. So so so many accidents are caused by all us criminal druggo’s. Road-side drug testing should go further. Police should be able to pull you aside on the street and drug test you.

True, but sad nobody can get it going.

So I look to the visionaries of Canberra, AKA “The Liberal Party”, to set the ball rolling.

[Ed. Post removed. In future if you are going to make accusations please back them up with something substantial.]

Thats the problem.

I would run a mile from a party promising to spend godzillions on light rail without a bulletproof financial plan.

If the Liberal party commits to a Light-Rail system of some sort, I’ll vote for them.

Also, see page 3 in today’s Canberra Times. Big pic of Zed with the heading “I’m asking for your help”…full stop – nothing else.

LOL what does he want help with…..moving his useless Deputy, Mr Smyth or help in getting rid of Ms Burke….the mind boggles.

Funnily enough, Gentleman was in the news this morning with his solar power tariff bill.

Gentleman will be the next speaker I tipping

The ‘dead wood’ argument applies to both sides – Mick Gentleman anybody?

When a party starts advertising so early with only a focus on its leader (Zed) it usually means their polling reflects that their leader (Zed) has a very low profile and no one gives a rats arse about him (Zed).

I also will not support Liberal until they get rid of their dead-wood – Smyth, Pratt, Burke etc

I’m sure that people have already made up their mind on who their voting for. The hippies will vote for Labor and the greens, and the PS will vote for Liberal. The people in the middle who don’t really give a rats, should already have decided to vote liberal.

Either way who Governs the ACT, its going to be a diaster. But Stanhopeless has had more than his fair share of time to screw Canberra over. Time to give someone else a go.

“I’ve noticed that ‘would be’ Chairman Zed…”
The term Chairman is used for Stanhope’s particular ideological resemblance to a certain Chinese Communist thug – hardly relevant to use for a conservative politician.

Hax – my thoughts too. Maelinar’s cat would get my vote over Stanhope.

He’s not stanhope. Good enough for me!

It is part of the campaign to divert attention that Zedenko Seselja, his buddies and advisors are in reality religious right zealots.

Last years campaign didn’t work, I still don’t know who he is.

If I didn’t see Stanhope every time I go to Belconnen mall, I wouldn’t know who he was either, so not really a big deal in the grand schema.

They’ll actually have to come up with a decent team and some good policies before I’d even consider voting for them, in my opinion Stanhope is still a much better option.

Ditch the long serving losers (eg Pratt, Dunne, maybe some others) for a start.

Welcome to ACT politics AussieGal. The only place in the country where the turtle beats the Hare (Clark).

I campaigned with Zed last election, back when no one knew who he was. He’s a good bloke. But think April is still way too early.

I’m trying to decide whether or not I help out with the Libs campaign this year, but honestly I think I’ve lost all respect for the party locally.

Another protracted campaign. I’m beginning to think that will be the norm from now on.
