Misty Water-Coloured Memories!
Seeing as i'm not expecting any cash from the guy any time soon, i don't feel bad about recapping the strains that have developed in my relationship with Kevin Rudd over the last two years.
So let us jump aboard the Time Machine of Self-Indulgent Livejournal Rants and take a trip down memory lane!
This may be cathartic.
For me. :)
'[U]tterley gutless. [...] Kevin Rudd has completely folded. ' (June 2007, on the NT Intervention)...
'Kevin Rudd's Labor Party floods us with it's own idiotic decisions' ( April 2008, on Gillard's Education policy)...
'Rudd opposed him for formally denouncing the brutal military occupation in East Timor [...] I wonder if he feels it was worth it' & 'Partly due to Rudd [...] there also followed 8 more years of the Howard government' (June 2008, on East Timorese massacres)...
'attempting to prevent torture cases from being pursued [is] entirely consistent with the stance of people like Kevin Rudd' ( September 2008, on Falun Gong)...
'Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard are not going to do anything at all. It's against their basic corporatizing philosophy' ( October 2008, on [a lack of] proper university funding)...
'We may as well not have had an election at all. I have a feeling Rudd & Gillard & Co. are actually going to give the Liberal Party a run for it's money' ( October 2008, on internet censorship)...
'Kevin Rudd is as much of a right-wing shit as he ever was' (October, 2008, on [a lack of] Progressive Taxation)...
'[Won't Get Fooled Again] should have been the Kevin '07 campaign theme' ( March 2009, on The Who)...
'[S]nivelling coward' ( Yesterday, on boycotting a U.N. racism conference)...
'Just because someone wears glasses, doesn't mean they're not an idiot.' ( Five minutes ago, on me not getting my fricking Rudd-money ... i mean, uh, on neoliberal distortions of accepted Keynesian economic policy)...
And, probably my personal favourite so far (but we have three more years to go!) -
*drumroll*
'Bespectacled. Goon.' ( March 2009, on terrorism.)
