check this article out-people look on the Green's as a warm fuzzy tree hugging alternative to the major parties.
But there is no doubt in my mind that Bob Brown is a dangerous fanatic living off the public trough. He embraces a vicious ideology and policies which would almost certainly destroy the Australian economy.
I applaud the courage of Victorian Premier Ted Bailleau whose bypassing of the Greens through preferences relegated them to the inconsequential minority party they are. By sliding into a House of reps seat and a few Senate positions by picking up Labor preferences the Green's have developed some undeserved sense of their importance as a credible alternative. They scored less then 10% of the primary vote in the recent Federal election which pretty much sums it up.
Ninety percent of us didn't vote for them.
I rest my case.

Often.
You stated something as fact to underpin your argument and you were wrong.
Again.
Just as you blindly accepted something as fact on the French Prime Minister thread and you were wrong.
Yet again.
Finally, I note your consistent use of the word 'pinhead', amongst your hyperbole.
A Bill O'Reilly fan as well?
No wonder you believe anything that suits your prejudice.
