Double Dissolution

[Rorschach]

No fake... the real article....
Seriously if you can't admit in the face of it that we were both right re the titles then there is something seriously wrong with you.

Here is the original article as it appeared in the Herald sun. No body disputed the Tele may have changed the original title in fact if you go back through that's what I said.

Yep never said it wasn't the blog Skip....
since I can't look at news limited stuff I cant help you understand the difference apparently.
But let me try once more...

Whether you realise it or not we both agree that there are different titles used by different papers.
I read the DT and I told you what it said.
I also read the article not the blog and the difference is that a blog or the blog is in the online version.
It usually has a different title than the actual newsprint article and is usually a summary of sorts based on the article.
Then being a blog people post comments and sometimes Andrew answers back.
Now I have no idea what the article in the Herald Sun said because no one posted it. But it would have said the same as the article titled Dust Yourself off and Fight did in the DT. And yes there would also be an online blog attached to that.
I have conceded the point that there are different titles and I also explained many times why. You see the difference is that I believe you Skippy when you tell me things and don't just carry on like a chook. I actually check things as best I can and try to explain them. not call people names and slander them or gang up on them. Even though ganging up when it's 3 against 1 is a bit of an impossibility.
Now we disagree about the sentiment behind the article, but I don't know if you actually read the article, because it looks like you just read the blog.
I posted Bolt's explanation of his pov re the article, and as I stated, the article is not a capitulation it is a call to arms that is why I think the DYOAF title is more appropriate.

If you still don't believe me and it appears you don't just read the blurb under his PROFILE in the image you posted... there's columns/articles and a blog.

Perhaps now you can move on to the reason 67% of polled voters actually want a DD....? Abbott should get some courage and do it now.

One more time...

Now, as I was saying, it would seem the article is indeed about fighting back and not letting labor and it's media supporters get away with lies and never ending ad hom.
It would seem Skippy is wrong if he believes Bolt has chucked in the towel or thinks that Abbott and the Government are doomed and will lose the next election. Much as Skippy would love this.

From the horses mouth...

To explain my recent criticism...

I like Tony Abbott. Indeed, in many ways I admire him. He is warm, kind, selfless, thoughtful, modest and introspective. I also think his Government means well and has done many good things.

That I criticise him and his Government’s performance in no way reflects some disenchantment or dislike of Abbott.

It comes more from a frustration that the Government isn’t doing as well in the polls as it deserves and that it cannot do as much good as it intends.

And there is this: I am often asked by people who don’t like the Abbott they see on TV what he’s really like, and always I respond that if they knew the real man as I do they would change their minds.

The very opposite was true of Kevin Rudd.

Niki Savva suggests many other Abbott supporters feel the same:

Those who know Abbott have trouble reconciling the public with the private persona. Some leaders come alive in front of cameras. Abbott shrinks. He looks awkward, his speech is stilted and he slips too easily into slogans or inappropriate rhetoric.

His narrow opening remarks to the G20 leaders retreat were embarrassing. Inside the privacy of the meetings, participants were taken by his warmth and sure handling of proceedings.

Matching this reality with the image is a key job of the Abbott team.

Now I've always criticised Credlin and this backs up why.

If I was Abbott I'd be calling a DD and labor would be lost in my dust floundering. There is no other competition and they are still the same old party with the same old policies.
