Elections are coming up. What are we thinking?

[mashman]

You know, all this issue dodging, empty words, and failure to learn/comprehend, in addition to an oversized sense of your theories worth; has made me realise something. You're a politician! Just one whose ideas are too stupid to gain a following Thanks mashy, I needed some more faith in the electoral process after watching the last 'debate'.

PS: google is fun

Now, will you show us your political stripes and try and make out you meant something different? or will you own your fuck up?

*Sigh*. The irony is breathtaking, but wasted on one of us I'll bet. Really, you had nowhere to go but directly to the personal attack? How disappointing. I'm not looking for a following, odd how you decide to see things that way. On the bright side, "my" ideas are already taki9ng hold in many country's. I don't see it stopping, because, whilst you have faith in the system, I have faith in the people... but will be grateful for the democratic system when an R.B.E. is on the ballot and being promoted.

I think the meaning of the word irony might also be wasted on one of us. Although, the irony of you calling me out for personal attacks then going on one of your own applies I guess.

The question/point dodging however, is breathtaking (in a similar fashion to the debate 2014 I watched).

BTW, I saw no fuck up, don't look good in stripes, and care not for politics.

I smile when doing it too, and sometimes when it's late at night, well...........

I'm dodging nothing, I hit the wall every time.

The fuck up is that your original suggestion was for million dollar hammers to service our national debt, in conjunction with your previous statement that such a system is simply inflation/taxation for one purpose only, to show gdp figures.

Alas, I fear you are at another head-in-sand moment, if you feel up to discussing relevant points with appropriate support about finances, resources, demonstrably better ways of doing things I'll still be here, otherwise you can stay on my ignore list.

No no no no no no no. That was not my suggestion at all. It was a could (it's in the sentence you quote), as in a single element in a much much larger picture... as could dog shit/sand/artichokes/gold/tally sticks/local currencies etc... That's as far as I'm going as you're going to have to extrapolate from there yourself.

I care not. You need chapter and verse. I am not offering that because you need to do some of your own brain work. But the premise of gaming the system by "divorcing" the financial system from human activity remains untainted by your attempts to shoot the messenger. You say can't, I say can, I'll leave it at that.

So, tell me, do National actually have ANY policies?

Seriously.

Because I'm damned if I can find any!

Apart from making the Hauraki Gulf and the Marlborough Sounds recreational-only fishing zones?

What about the new schools to be built around Auckland?

Maybe the money put up to buy land around waterways?

Are we sure that the old adage: ... "Non so blind as those who will not see" .... Doesn't apply here? .... Just askin, just askin.

Only to promise what the focus groups have told them is needed to get back in power....and because the same focus groups have told them JK is "trusted", get him to badmouth the opposition parties at every opportunity...And use misdirection to get attention off the dirty politics shit.

I reckon the NI media have misread the situation in ChCh badly - if he'd wanted to, John Campbell could have got an audience of middle aged home owners to chant #### John Key on live TV the other night in ChCh just by asking....It was no trick for Kim to get students to do it.

And yeah, i'm an even more cynical old fuck.
