" Pollies and their pathetic wedging!! "
People I have no doubt that the ABC in general but especially the executives programmers and staff of the ABC News Radio are today the 21/5/2013 literally wetting their knickers with excitement and anticipation of being able to promote the subject of gay marriage - which as it would appear being the official gay/lesbian promotional/development media they are doing with great enthusiasm and gusto!! ? future governments aught to look at the ABC's funding allocations?? as a result of the Kevin Rudd's announcement that he has suddenly seen the gay/lesbian light and in an attempt to not only try and wedge the Abbott mob on the subject but his boss PM Gillard as well in order to gain the gay/lesbian supporters votes to get elected in September with the purpose of then getting elected as a new opposition leader when the Labor Party emerges a shadow of their former self!!??
Up until recently I had respect for Rudd and felt sorry for him the way he was dealt with by the Gillard mob!!
However when just a few months ago Rudd was given the chance to show if he had any intestinal fortitude and genuine desire to lead this country/Labor Party he failed miserably and showed his true colour " Yellow " and limped off like a whipped dog with his tail between his wobbly legs on his feet of clay!!
Kevin Rudd has the Peter Costello syndrome who was another gutless glib & smart talking pollie who worked behind the scenes to dislodge Johnny Howard but like Rudd would not challenge Johnny Howard unless he was virtually guaranteed a majority of votes in the party room which was not forth coming because obviously a majority of the party members could see what an all talk and gutless person Costello was/is and this I have no doubt is what the majority of the Labor Members attitude is towards Rudd and quite rightly so!!!
Now although pathetic I can understand why the Greens - especially little old Adam Brandt the federal member for Melbourne and the only Greenie in the house of reps- are desperately trying to hang onto the gay and their supporters votes because if the September Greens vote goes to trend as has happened around Aussie they like the Democrats are heading for the political abyss and in my view not before time !!
However if the Labor Party/Gillard mob in their desperation to hold onto power are thinking to go down the same track then I suggest you study the polls in regard to same sex marriage very carefully like I have!!?
For instance - Refer Mike's Comments - 20/4/2013.
Subject- ? The ABC?? The Gay/Lesbian Promotional & Public Relations Department"
In it I mentioned a survey commissioned by the " Marriage Equality Mob " and conducted by Galaxy Telephone Omnibus 10 - 12/2/2012 which I stated was the one available to me on the internet which more than the others favoured gay marriage although as I stated I could not find a negative survey?? why is that???
Ok the survey involved 786 people from the ages of 18 - 64 with NSW/Act 228, Vic/Tas 220, Q/Land 147,SA 90,WA 101 = 786.
The question was " Do you agree or disagree that same sex couples should be allowed to marry".
Results - 18 -24 over whelming 81% say yes.
50 - 64 only just got over the line with 51% say yes.
Married - Agree - again only just got over the line with 58% say yes.
Non - married - Agree - again an over whelming 69% say yes.
Married disagree - 33%
Non - married disagree - 24%.
So lets look at it??
As I stated before what do 18 - 24 (81%) know about life let alone the institution of
marriage and these are the mob that Adam Brandt who has a large student population in his electorate is relying onto get him over the line!! however I will guarantee that most other pollies do not have this luxury and the bulk of their electorates have more 50 plus voters ( the 51% and 58% ) in than 18-24 voters?? and even if every 18 - 24 voter ( if you could get them out of bed in time to vote??) voted for pro gay marriage pollies - which won't happen especially on religious grounds - then the voters over 50 out number the 18 - 24 voters anyway!! especially as we are entitled to vote on our death bed if need be!! so we are not only looking at 50 - 64 but 50 - 100 plus!!
Now lets look at the married who agreed (58%) what experienced pollie would chance his & her livelihood on a 0.8% margin in a straw poll?? with non-married who agreed (69%).
?? How does a non -married person judge what is acceptable in regard to the institution of marriage having never taken on the responsibility of marriage and having only observed it from the parameter and even then only as a partial observer??
What's the bet that the bulk of the non - married people (69%) interviewed that agreed were the 18 - 24 year old's??
The institution of marriage between a man and a women is the corner stone of every country, nation, tribe, community etc;etc; around this world of ours and has been since forever and should always be held in high esteem and should never be devalued and debased by two great hairy chested/bearded blokes kissing/tonguing plus groping each others bums in front of the church alter,priest and congregation!! neither should it be debased by tall hairy chested blokes with massive amounts of make up on dressed in a white wedding gown with a pretty head dress!! or women that are so dressed they are indistinguishable from a male?? why I thought lesbians did not like blokes??
The rewriting of the institution and the sanctity of marriage is far to important to be left to a bunch of self interested!! short term political survivalists such as pollies!! who's word is not their bond!! as we have over the years discovered ie;"The never ever GST !! No carbon tax !!" and the list goes on and on!!!
Therefore if we can have a referendum on recognising councils in our constitution and surely the institution of marriage is far more important than that?? then why not put this gay marriage to the people because if the majority of the people in the majority of the states vote for it then ok the people have spoken!! not a bunch of self interested pollies desperate for votes!! bloody hypocrites!! ?? maybe they realise it will fail miserably and because there are so many gays/lesbians/bisexual pollies through out our political system they are hoping to get it into law through the back door - no pun intended!!
Ok people speak up or cop the consequences because if you don't then you deserve all you get so don't whinge!!
Mike.
