    Anyone else watch the republican debate?

    {crickets}

    Anyway, everyone seemed to expect Trump to hit Bush with a stone cold stunner or something.
    But he was pretty normal.

    Damn, there are some redneck politicians going on over there.

    Little being the operative word.

    Most print media these days is an absolute rag.

    Its discriminative to not recognise all injustices throughout our history regardless of race. Mothers who lost their babies in the 70/80's are in as much pain.

    Yes we are sorry for the pain of atrocities and wish they handled very differently. Lets get history correct regardless of race/govt/individual atrocity, state what happened and most importantly lets try to fix and prevent any further injustice and poverty we have now.

    It's not easy when the current Prime Minister and his front bench think the earth is only 6000 years old and we all descended from one breeding pair.

    You do realise that aside from Gillard every former PM was of the same belief (when in office).
    and even Gillard voted against gay marriage with no real freaking reason.

    I don't recall any bloke named Gillard as Prime Minister. You must be thinking of New Zealand.

    Tony Abbots massive government deficit is actually getting the economy back on track. But rather than claim a victory like he should his entire team can't bring themselves to admit that government deficits are more often than not the best way forward.

    that issue is sooooooo last month Dunster.
    We are now on to government 'entitlements' and Indigenous folk making beer out of vegemite and Tony Abbott refuses to fix either problem.

    That's the proof. It doesn't solve the puzzle but it at least tells us how the pieces got there in the first place and it rejects the notion of a clockwork universe convincingly for the majority of sane people.

    Thought the PM's press conference on marriage equality was good.
    He maintained his position to respect his constituents yet flagged giving the vote to the people.
    That's a win/win.
    (As long as they follow through with it).

    What's the prize ? I seriously don't understand how anything can be called a win in something like this that's such a non-issue.

    If I was gay I'd be protecting my own brand rather than merging with a brand that pretty much fails more often than it succeeds in marriages.

    thats exactly my point.
    the marriage equality issue is not a huge factor for the majority of Australians, despite at times taking up a larger part of the national debate.
    but instead of changing tact mid term they stayed true to their policy and are more than happy to let the public decide at the next election.

    whether or not you agree with their stance is a different issue.

    the 'win' is a political party showing some semblance of integrity and not flip flopping whenever its convenient.

    its a pretty ****ing rare commodity these days.

    I'd just like to see them focus on more important things like the Vegemite epidemic.

    Even though its clear what my political affiliation is.. it might still be just on the podcast stream, you might have already listened to it but Richard fidlers conversations piece with Paul Keating is quiet a good listen.. Do recommend it....
