The best proof that the far left radicals are first, last and always liars is found in the reelection of the Prime Minister of Australia and Mr. Howard not only won reelection but increased his majority as well.

Mr. Howard is an outspoken supporter of George W. Bush and an ally in the war in Iraq and the worldwide war on terrorism.

As usual, the leftist radicals lied, which some say is their best trick but most of us who are rational would say lying is the only trick of these one trick ponies...or one trick phonies.

Australia Re-Elects Howard Prime Minister

SYDNEY, Australia -- Prime Minister John Howard scored a convincing victory in Australia's federal election Saturday, winning a historic fourth term in a vote ensuring the staunch U.S. ally keeps its troops in Iraq.

With more than 70 percent of votes tallied, Howard appeared likely to increase his government's majority in parliament -- exceeding most analysts' predictions that the result would be very tight.

"My fellow Australians ... I am truly humbled by this extraordinary expression of confidence in the leadership of this great nation by the coalition," Howard told cheering supporters of his conservative alliance in Sydney.
"In accepting their charge to lead the nation I rededicate myself and all of my colleagues to the service of the Australian people."

Labor Party leader Mark Latham earlier conceded defeat before supporters in western Sydney, saying he called Howard to congratulate him.

"Tonight was not our night," Latham told the crowd.

The election was widely seen abroad as the first referendum for the three leaders who launched the March 2003 invasion of Iraq, with President Bush facing a ballot next month and British Prime Minister Tony Blair probably facing voters next year.
