Utegate - sympathy for Turnbull (1 Viewer)

[nousernameleft]

Even though the email was fake, you have to feel sorry for Turnbull.

He thought it was genuine.

Re: utegate- sympathy for tunrbull

agreed. if he thought it was genuine, its his duty to the people to make sure that its investigated. i don't think he should have to resign

granted nothing came of it, and he probably deserves some of the inevitable slump in approval that he's currently experiencing.

but when it comes down to it, no matter how much the liberals got carried away, the fundamental motives, i.e. to ensure that there is no corruption on the part of the govt, are acceptable at worst, honourable at best.

gotta feel sorry for george W.
He thought the threat of WMD's was genuine.

If someone's gonna make a big fucking deal out of something they better damn well be sure of it.

Turnbull's a dickhead and he'll never be Prime Minister.

The left media (Fairfax, ABC) did a masterful job of shutting down the potentially damaging allegations implicating Swan. I actually believe that people will forgive Turnbull over this one because a) it the email had been genuine and he didn't act on it, he would have been perceived as lacking leadership, but more importantly b) the majority of the electorate just don't give a shit.

Re: utegate- sympathy for tunrbull

Yeah, he was kind of caught between a rock and a hard place. I don't personally much like Turnbull, but... eh.

 

[Teclis]

Yea but the way it was handled was...



LOOK LOOK LOOK LOOK LOOK!!!! KRUDD IS A DIRTY CHEATING SCOUNDREL!!!!!!


As opposed to "So Mr. Rudd, there was this e-mail... is it true?"

Would've been win win. If it was true = win, if it wasn't true, then he just appears as a concerned member of the opposite party wanting the governments leader to not be a dirty cheat.


Whereas instead it just came across as "VOTE FOR ME ME ME ME ME!!!!!"

Turnbull is a fox and so is Joe Hockey and tbh I would do them both.
Ok so Turnbull can do no wrong imo.

*melts*

And if he hadn't have done that, his constituents would have hounded him for not being aggressive enough.

My dad beat him up in high school.

 

[katie tully]

whatever man i will beat him up too

he's still a fox

 

[Kwayera]

Agreed

My dad beat him up in high school.

i imagine him as being similar to draco malfoy as a teen.
"Wait till father hears about this!" he would have said, "I'm going to get my daddy to fire your daddy!"

 

[absorber]

Turnbull's aggressive. He kinda went for an all or nothing bet here, he got nothing. Further, it was dirty politics; come on, like this is really relevant to ANYTHING about the ability to run the nation. He doesn't deserve any sympathy.

 

[Kwayera]

Which is why I don't have any sympathy for him, just the situation.

to be fair, Turnbull didn't exactly invade another country over it.

to OP, we all will forget this in a few weeks.

 

[Omium]

I kinda feel sorry for him.

Imagine if you thought you had something that could take down a Prime minister and his Treasurer.

I'd go nuts too.
