The Liberal Party continues to implode

Postby Gozu » Thu Feb 19, 2009 7:53 pm

Not surprising that no one had mentioned this earlier but Turnbull has axed the far-right's Cory Bernardi over a dispute with the galling Christopher Pyne. What a complete rabble.

See ya Malcolm.

As a former member of the Liberal party I cling to the folorn hope that one day a few **** will wake up and realise the people they should concentrating are external not internal....

Simple maxim in politics if you can't govern yourself how can you govern teh country/state....

Just one of the reason why we have to put up with another **** (Rann) as he knows he is dealing with an opposition too concerned about themselves than him, if only they started concentrating on water and grandiose monuments to a flawed governments self importance than wets and drys...
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Too bad the wrong bloke got the push........

May not be Pyne he was talking about - I could never see them playing golf together - it would be like the move "Twins"

You reckon? I'm not a fan of Pynes by any stretch of the imagination but Cory Bernardi is off the chart when it comes to being right wing. The guy is seriously scarey. Have you seen his website?

Pyne is a small "l" liberal and was very much on the nose with Howard when they were in government. I don't know much about Bernardi other than a reputation for arch conservatism.

Bernadi makes Pyne look like a socialist!

Yep had a look at the website, very interesting, he even makes me look like latte sipper :lol: If he was in the house of reps I doubt he would have such a radical website, but in the senate when you are voted in a group it is possible to get away with that sort of stuff.

I work with Bernadis ex- media advisor. He is a very scarey man - the epitome of the born to rule right is right mentality.

Bollocks - I know him and many of the other politicians in this state - he's no different to most of them - He has a physical and mental presence that is somewhat intimidating.

I want to see him as Minister for Defence so we can get a proper military like them blokes overseas

He is a man of his time Bernadis. Just a pity that his time is the year 1947.

I just read the post on his website

It's actually not that bad. If Kerwistofer Whine had shut up, most punters wouldn't even know it was him, and I guarantee you, 100% couldn't care less

I reckon Turnbull has turned this into a mess because Whineboy went crying to the headmaster

FFS, it could have been John Olsen - Even I played golf with CB 14 years ago

I'm going to post a note on his website to see if I can wind him up

The Liberal Party continues to spiral into the abyss and now John Hewson sticks the boot into Peter Costello (rightly):
