My gosh I hope not. What happens in America affects us here in Australia. As they say, when America sneezes, we catch cold. C'mon you pollies, do your thing.

Sorry, "pollies" is just a nickname for politicians. We have a habit of shortening everything. Now..translate what a "bleeding heart liberal" is please. Are you insulting me? lol.

Some people wear that moniker with a sense of pride, other's might take a small offense to being called that... just depends on your perspective and how easily offended you may be.

Hmm. ok, still not sure why he called me that. We do have the Liberals in power here now over Labour. Both as bad as each other I think. Politics is not my favourite subject - all I hope is that the world's "pollies" get it right.

Feeling sorry for everything and everyone and giving in to emotions quickly.
You don't have to be a liberal. You can a bleeding heart conservative or a bleeding heart whatever...

Now would be a good time for every-one regardless of poitical or religious persuasion, to pull together, get the job done and show the politicians that you don't need them. Oh well just a thought.

And a good thought. If only...
