Victory in OzJohn Howard Prevails in Australia; Increases His Ruling Majority The media always looks to elections in the West for tea leaves for our own election. Frankly, I don't think there's much correlation. Still, it looks like the war is less popular in Australia than here at home and yet the public decided to stick with the more aggressive man in the war on terror. Australia has fought side by side with us in every war since at least WWII. Good on 'em. Thanks to Stan. posted by Ace at 11:34 AM
CommentsThe Australians, and New Zealanders, were technically our allies in WWI as well, being part of the British Commonwealth. As a result of the butchery at Gallipoli, the ANZAC forces suffered brutally in WWI, and ever since Australia has generally been highly hesitant about involvement in any war. Churchill was critical of the Australian government for refusing to institute conscription AFTER Pearl Harbor. This makes the Australian vote all the more significant.

Perhaps the Aussie have been loyals allies is that we fought side by side during WWII. Many Americans were stationed in Australia during the war. Our navy played a big part stopping the japanese advance that may have ended up with australia under japanese occupation. Our canadians friends to the north, besides the great french influence in quebec which is anti american, never have been under the threat of occupation by another country. it makes a difference.

The BBC is downplaying the victory as being based on economics - which not-so-coincidentally neither Blair nor Bush have in their favor. I wonder if the families and friends of the Bali casualties voted on the basis of economics, too. Consider the source. Posted by: The Black Republican on October 9, 2004 12:02 PM
10/9/04 "the war is less popular in Australia than here at home..." We have only the news media's assurance of this theirs and ours). Australians are a very independent and deliberate people. They only do what they want to do. If Mr. Howard won the election with greater support than he had before, the Australian people really wanted him as their leader. They didn't forget the war at the polls; it almost certainly brought them to the polls ready to vote for Mr. Howard. We are lucky and blest to have allies of the quality of the Australian people. God bless them. Lonnie Kendall Posted by: Lonnie Kendall on October 9, 2004 02:24 PM

Anzac troops were on the Western Front as well. Here's one Dough who was glad for it. Posted by: Donnah on October 9, 2004 10:24 PM
Yes! Lets hear it for the boys from down under! Even the Japanese love them, in these days. It would be so great if Americans Australia for close neighbors instead of Canadia. Just think of the surfing! Posted by: Joseph Reinhart on October 10, 2004 10:52 PM

The ULA rocket just launched
Thanks to Joyenz The rocket's enormous engines are fueled by "the volcanic heterosexual lust between James Talarico and his Neighbor With a Uterus 'girlfriend'" I hope Amazon's rocket works better than the Amazon Prime app does as far as allowing people to watch the black and white version of "Spider-Noir" From the CA Post: Thanks to beckster
Just like "Spartacus" Corey Booker, now that James Talarico is running for a higher office, he unveils his previously-unknown "girlfriend" and hooboy, it just so happens she used to work for him, and, get this, likes to "dance the night away" at gay bars
Gee I wonder where they might have met Oh and she's a vegan When Corey Booker needed a "girlfriend," he conjured up known LGBTQ activist Rosario Dawson. How convenient that when these guys need a girlfriend to show off to the normies that just happen to find an activist with a strong history of and interest in Supporting Gay Men But seriously, this James Talarico romance with a Neighbor with a Uterus is a love story for the ages. The passion of their lovemaking is hotter than a blue star with a core of Primordial Sex Atoms created in the Big Bang
And just like that, #PunchANazi became Punch a Ballot for a Nazi
"Teen" charged with five counts of attempted murder after attempting to run down police officers with his car in yet another "teen takeover" permitted by woke racist incompetent Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson
Johnson's response to the "teen takeovers" of streets and businesses that he refuses to make arrests to stop is to go after social media companies for not deleting messages to coordinate the "teen takeovers." Um, they're supposed to find these messages and delete them in real time? It makes no sense but he has to offer an "alternative" plan to just arresting lawbreakers -- which he absolutely refuses to do, saying we "can't arrest our way out" of rampant crime.
Future Tucker Carlson guest James Talarico:
James Talarico He's referring to three mass attacks committed by white men in, oh, the past six or eight years. There were a huge number of mass shootings and bombings he had to skip over to cherry pick three committed by white men. Which kind of makes me think that "white men" are not the greatest terrorist threat in our country. No, I doubt he'll be a guest on Tucker Carlson. The only thing that Tucker clings to that he claims makes him "conservative" is a palpable hatred of gays. Any time there's a communist enslaving their population and executing dissenters and conservatives, Tucker praises that dictator by saying "at least he represses the homos!"
Polls close in Texas at 7pm local (8pm for the East Coast). Vote the RINO out.
