More from the Department of Desperation

The following, as quoted in the SMH, is from a letter from MP Bronwyn Bishop to her constituents.
Most of us will survive the economic slide and the lower living standard but my concern is for our youth.

Our youth have never experienced a socialist government with its continuous barrage of laws, rules and regulations, the never-ending interference of government and unions in our lives and the soul-destroying unemployment as our living standard drops...

Have you ever wondered how so many members of the Labor Party have become very rich whilst in government, while workers become poorer? How do they become multi-millionaires...

It would be sad to have the old failed socialist, union-driven government influencing our youth.

It is hard to imagine the sense of panic that leads to material like this. Each one of those sentences is a pure gem of hysteria. My favorite: "Most of us will survive" implies the coming Labor economic apocalypse will claim a few lives. "Members of the Labor Party have become very rich" is simply bizarre coming from the Liberal party.

Clearly, when the Liberals are this sure they are doomed, we can have a little confidence in Saturday's outcome.

Update: The full text of the Bishop letter can be found here.

that letter is golden. I like how it shows contempt for people who consider voting labor.
