Had to laugh this morning on hearing the news that 'shock horror' the Lib's have been caught out spending up big in marginal seats prior to the last Election. As usual the party faithful 'dismiss' these findings. Take 2: in todays Herlad-Sun, the Libs are promising to spend up big installing CCTV iin 'THEIR' seats.
Why not promise to install CCTV in areas of greatest street crime instead of the leafy streets in blue ribbon Liberal seats. Oh, that's right, most areas of greatest street crime are held by Labor and encompass the growing number of below the poverty line people who are really struggling with increases in costs while trying to keep a roof over the heads of their families.

For those non-Australians reading this post the Libs I refer to are the same as the American Republicans. Rotten to the core in my personal opinion.

Every government pork barrels. The Queensland Government is spending $9 billion on labor seats in Brisbane because they failed to plan properly for water. What do get if your in a liberal seat? A mega dam or they drain your existing supply.
I live in a liberal seat and the state labor government is building a one way pipeline from our water supply and sending it to labor seats in Brisbane. They are going to drain our supply to 15% before they stop sending water south which will leave us with 90 days supply.
You just have to hope that your in the right electorate I suppose.

No source ooops eh?
From the amount of crimes I would expect
the sound of a motorcade of heavily armored
policemen swarming out. Will keep an ear open.
Well for me pork barrelling is an obsession too.
We should have pork boarding and water barrelling instead.

Now this is intelligent. The Democrats are out of control with their Pork spending. Why do you think Charlie Rangel is trying to get his Mother Of All Tax Bill to pass? 40% hike. It will target Corporations and the Wealthy. But then the average normal citizen like us will pay more taxes on : Clothes, Food, Electronics, Utilities, Cars, Furniture. If that happens, Corporations will likely relocate in another Country. Just like a lot of business did a few years back. The Libs are Socialist. If Hillary wins, god forbid we will become a Socialist Country.

Have a look at our history and you will find the poorest people are always in the safe labor seats and is that not significant to show that if they know you and yours are a safe vote they will give you nothing I am a former labor voter ~~
