Labor should win
I'm not saying they will win. I'm saying they should win, morever, Howard should lose.
- Howard has lied to us about children being thrown overboard, about intelligence briefings, about interest rates, about many, many things.
- Howard has sent us to a stupid war, fought for stupid reasons, for a stupid president. And now Iraq is full of stupid terrorists.
- Howard has promised to spend more money in the last 3 weeks than he has in the last 3 years. So much for being a good economic manager.
- Howard attempted to use same-sex marriage as a political wedge. It didn't work and now same-sex couples married overseas don't have a chance in hell of having their marriages recognised in this country.
- Howard is the worst Prime Minister we've ever had. Yes, I'm saying it (in the voice of that comic book store guy from the Simpsons) WORST PRIME MINISTER EVER.
I don't think describing him as the worst prime minister ever is as cut and dried as that. Billy Hughes was pretty bad - and so was Menzies first time around (well, he was bad the second time round as well but not as breathtakingly cavalier with the future of Australia as he was in 1939). Worst PM in our lifetimes, surely.
I know some people involved (to some degree) in the Liberal Party. They are as disgusted with the PM as you are.

I said those comments with Hughes in mind. Call me a stupid but I prefer horrendously incompetent to horrendously evil. However, I hope our next Prime Minister is neither.
