Pro-gun Liberal Democrat Senator-elect David Leyonhjelm says US gun crime is a 'black on black' problem | News.com.au

Wow...just wow. Words cannot describe the idiots beliefs.

I read yesterday, that the only reason he was elected, was because his name was the first one on the sheet. Elected by the Donkey Vote.

I was actually listening to a radio interview with this idiot. Scarey stuff.

Isn't this the guy that Abbott was talking about in terms of voted confusion? That because his party has "Liberal" at the start, people thought they were voting for the Coalition?

Hopefully this is a lesson to people donkey voting. If you want to donkey vote, do the responsible thing, draw a penis. Otherwise we end up with people like this bloke being voted in.

This guy getting in means that Cate Faherman (sic?) from the Greens didn't (she wound up being 7th). Now whether or not you hate Green policy, at the very least Greens are a reasonably well known party, that actually did some campaigning and marketing, and despite being a good way along the ballot got 7-8% of the vote. I had never heard of LDP until 2-3 weeks ago.

Its what happens when you have 110 cadidates from about 30 different parties. Half of them are actually fake, designed to funnel preferences about the place.

Meanwhile in the Seat of Fairfax.....

Clive Palmer says he can't win a lower house seat, while Sophie Mirabella remains in doubt | News.com.au

Clive Palmer has a dummy spit.

Every time I hear the Palmer united party mentioned a mental image of this pops into my head (except without the salad)

 

[Jesterarts]

Ah Palmer, I suspect Australian politics has found its new village idiot.

We certainly are going to have our fair share of loonies for at least the next 3 years.

The concern being that these people will be the ones holding the balance of power in the senate.

I am hopeful that not all of them will have a tanty like Palmer and state they will not back policies until they get their way.

Doesn't matter how much of a wack job he is, still better then a green.

So apparently this is doing the rounds at the moment.

Are people really this dumb?
