Similarities Between Australia's Election and Our Own?
Severely EFL - Be sure to read the rest. Hat tip: Tim Blair
This is spooky:
Many of us have been astounded over the years at the ease with which the Democratic Party Labor Party has progressively abandoned the cause of the workers and, in its place, adopted every ratbag cause that comes along. Perhaps it is because so few in the parliamentary party like Kennedy, Lurch, et at. have ever been workers themselves. They are certainly more at home with a cafe latte than a bottle of beer cup of tea.
But even so, to watch the party so blithely sacrifice the jobs of Alaskan oil workers Tasmanian timber workers in the interest of saving tundra trees tundra, fercrissakes! (trees!) was breathtaking. And for what return? To curry favour with the trendy Left in New York and the UN Sydney and Hollywood and Phrawnce Melbourne and, even then, to get no benefit from doing so.
From your pen to God's ear.
Fingers crossed that he can write the same thing about America on November 3d.
