Return to Kevin Rudd as Labor Leader

[poddster]

In view of the shambles and disarray of the Labor party and the probable rout at the September 14th. elections with possibly two thirds of Labor falling and the looming event of the NLP haveing a vast majority and possibly the control of the Senate as well :-- 

Would you be in favour of Kevin Rudd being returned as Labor Leader and Prime Minister?

sounds like someone I know:-(

Did Kevin Rudd con the media with his “triumphant” tour?  (it would appear so.. Labor lies so does KDUDD)

Reader Palszy says Kevin Rudd’s triumphant tour of Geelong was actually stage-managed down to almost the last cheering supporter. For a start, the crowd scenes were not filmed in the marginal seat of Corangamite, but the safe seat of Corio next door:

Andrew...as I posted Friday Corio Village shopping centre is the bogan capital of Australia. I do not intend to be derogatory, but it is a fact of life. Corio is Geelong’s version of Broadmeadows on steriods. Labor could install Mikey Mouse as the leader, and the Corioites would vote for him.

What amuses me is Dick Marles seat is one of the safest Labor seats in the country, while Darren Cheeseman’s Corrangamite seat is one of the most marginal...why didn’t Kev weave his magic at the Waurn Ponds shopping in Grovedale (bigger than Corio) in Cheeseman’s electorate?

I will tell you why.. The public response there would be abhorring...definitely not adoring ...believe me, the average IQ rises considerably once you cross to the southern side of the Barwon River in Geelong.

BTW...just spoke to mate who’s daughter works as a hairdresser at Corio Village. She said that Friday was a circus, totally scripted from start to finish...a bus load of Labor supporters arrived a half an hour before Kev and his entourage. All the TV was shot outside John Eren’s (local state member) megazine floor office with his staff and the bus people. My mates daughter reckons Kev was exposed to the general public for less than a couple minutes, always surrounded by the ‘bus people’. She also noted that the comments from the women in the chairs in her salon when Kev wandered past her shop was not what we seen on the TV Friday night.

Well, well, well.

UPDATE

Reader reaver:

Yep, that’s all inside the Corio Shopping Centre. The Centrelink/Medicare office in the background is the Corio office and you can even read John Eren’s name on his office door and exterior office wall in the video

So Kevin the DUD lies as well and tries to pull the wool over everyones eyes....

I went to a lecture on ASD and Autism with Tony Attwood. He said that he thinks Rudd has Aspergers... when you look at it I fully agree, I know my son has many of the traits that Rudd has. 

It is nice to know that Aspie kids have a chance to grow up and be something pretty amazing. 

I do not think Rudd will save the Labor Party. He might be the best option but then he will have to work with people that hate him with a passion. Or he picks a totally new front bench that have zero experience. Either way I don't think it is appropriate to run a country either way. 

Can you imagine the next three months if he is head of the party??? The non stop re-runs of everyone bagging Rudd will be front and centre. 

If Shorten is tapping Gillard and telling her that she has to reconsider her position as no one has faith in her then he should be the one to lead the party to a spectacular demise. He is one of the men that put her there so he should take the blame.

I thought Latham was rather good on Q&A last night, at least he calls it as it is and there is no bull from him.... 

'Evil' Kevin Rudd not the one to lead Labor, says Mark Latham

Here is Latham live http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/2013/06/11/06/41/gillard-facing-another-leadership-challenge 

FORMER Labor leader Mark Latham says the party would be better off losing the election rather than electing Kevin Rudd leader.

During an appearance on the ABC'sQ&A on Monday night, Mr Latham accused Mr Rudd of sabotaging the party's election campaign in 2010 and preparing to do it again for this year's election.

Mr Latham said Mr Rudd's ego is out of control and he must not be rewarded.

"He knows that every day he gets in the media cycle he's knocking Gillard down a notch or two in the polls. This is a program, a jihad of revenge, the like of which we have never seen before in the history of Australian politics. And it goes beyond the normal human reaction of revenge. You are getting into the realm of evil."

Despite polls that indicate Mr Rudd would give Labor a better chance in the election than Julia Gillard, Mr Latham said the party would better off "dying on is feet".

He said rank and file members should elect the party leader.

"The current caucus has lost the moral right to select the leader," he said

I liked Kev, I voted for him. much prefer him and his little tantrums than Julia

The Last Federal Election which resulted in a hung Parliament was in 2010 .Kevin Rudd wasn't in the running....

prior to the last federal election (June that year)  Juila Gillard was elected unapposed as leader of the Labor party ..

[lightningdance]

Agenda yesterday saw Graeme Morris call Rudd "a  psychotic destructive one man Al Qaeda weazle".

We were then served up the unique Latham hatred in his description of Rudd as conducting a revenge filled jihad well beyond what any  normal person.

I think that is the most telling description of this very sick man, the man that Labor shielded for 18 months while he ran amok, destroyed people's self esteem, trashed the Cabinet process & totally ignored his caucus.

The spectacle of what he did to Christina Kenealy in NSW was sickening to watch. What he did to Gillard in the 2010 election was out there for all to see as well.

I do believe this man is a total misogynist with deeply rooted hatred & disdain for women.

This is a dangerous mentally ill man that should never have been allowed into any political party let alone lead it.

He singlehandedly started the destruction of the Labor party & Gillard is finishing it off .

The 1st time Rudd hit the my radar (I don't watch morning TV) I recognised him immediately as a passive agressive, not knowing the depth of his psychosis, but we all soon found out.

Rudd & Gillard are responsible for the disaster they are facing & trying to blame anything or anybody else for this tragedy is obtuse in the extreme.

[izabsmiling]

Grame Morris ,Political commentator and former adviser to John Howard said that about Kevin Rudd ? 😮

Perfect example of what some are saying I would say .

Looks like the luvvies have been partaking of the bitter lemons again & that means automatic BP'ing on all threads they don't like.

Unfortunately this game is more complex and convoluted than most realise. Often it is not the one you suspect doing the damage. There are wheels within wheels at play.

From past experience I can say that on every forum there are several groups that take great delight in trying to cause as much disruption and friction between members and groups as they can for no other reason but their own perverted pleasure.

They attempt to set member against member by reporting both of them. The ones being reported blame their opponent and so a feud develops between them and escalates until there is only one left standing. This is the source of delight for the instigator.

Knowing that this behaviour goes undetected the instigator is safe from any reprisal and continues cause havoc.

Fortunately on most fora this is detected and addressed but unfortunately that is not the case on this forum.

I feel that the situation can be rectified if posters individual bring it to the attention of the moderators an eBay.

We can but live in hope that eBay take note of members concerns
