Jeff Buchanan is an up-himself wanker

Fundies First lead candidate for Queensland, Jeff Buchanan, really loves himself. This week he revealed, in this facile advertisement (via Bruce), his personal website address. Guess what it is.

www.agoodbloke.com.

Seriously.

Disregarding all the stupidity in his video (the Greens are bad because they "regularly vote against government legislation" - so, what, Fundies First is saying that instead they're going to automatically vote for anything the Liberals want? Because not to do so would for some reason be "anti-family" or "extreme"? So if you wanted that why not just vote for the Liberal Party?), that "good bloke" claim is just nauseating. And it draws me, as an Australian voter, to one inescapable conclusion:

Jeff Buchanan is an up-himself wanker.

Also:
  • Fundies First still haven't explained how their multi-billion dollar petrol excise cut isn't simply a gift of taxpayers' money to the petrol companies that would quickly be subsumed at the bowser anyway. Economic pixies.
  • How are the Greens "anti-family"? I still haven't seen any Green policies that could in any rational way be described as such.

As previously noted, I voted this week. You have GOT to experience the satisfaction of putting the Fundies last. It's awesome.

UPDATE: Also, why's Mr Family standing in front of cattle? The intended implication seems to be that he's a farmer or something - but if you hunt down the only biographical information available on the Fundies First website, all he says is that "what I bring to politics as I approach 40 years of age is a wealth of real-life experience, having worked as a labourer, scientific researcher, school teacher, fundraising consultant and small business owner." So what have the cattle got to do with it?

(Also - anyone know what kind of "science" Buchanan "researched"? Oh, and "fundraising consultant"? I bet he was!)
