7. This OP claims they reject the right. You said 'it's because they are sane'

The entire premise of the article is that Australia would theoretically reject Mitt, but the fact is they elect Mitt like candidates regularly. So perhaps we might look at an actual election in which actual Australians actually elect someone who is not an actual bigot prior to declaring they are practicing sane choices. The actual elected officials there suggest that when they actually vote, they elect their own Mitt types easily. We rejected the last Republican, and we will do so again.

I'm not judging them, I love Australia, I am just saying, facts are facts and they have a raving bigot in their top slot while we have Barack Obama. We elected him, not McPalin. They elected a bigot. Just the facts about both places as they currently exist. Once Mitt goes home to his car elevator in Nov, we will have Obama, they will still have a bigot. So how they claim they'd vote under fantasy circumstances and how the electorate there actually speaks are not the same thing. It is we Americans who will defeat Mitt in actual reality, he will not be President. And yet their PM will remain in place, speaking to hate groups and chanting incantations against gay people seeking equality....I'm not going to call electing that person 'sane'. Sorry. Look at the link, if you would please. I'm sure you did not look prior to posting....
