Poll: Who's going to win on Saturday?

[Mr Skid]

Whats next.. The Freedom to have sex with an animal? the freedom to have sex with children? The freedom to murder who you want? the freedom to rape who you want? The freedom to steal what I want?

Choice, I thought I wasn't going to get a bite from that!

Anyway, either you're being disingenuous in your reply, or you don't know what your talking about.

I'm not sure which one though. Can you give me a hint?

[Lou Girardin]

Bullshit. Ruth Richardson provided leadership in the area of social policy - she started to disassemble the social welfare monster that was strangling so many aspects of this country.

Actually, I would love to hear what the labour govt did to benefit the economy over the last six years. Please tell us.

Ruth Richardson - leadership? Don't make me laugh.
That cow had bile in her veins.
Are you too young to recall the recession that her benefit cuts and other economic policies dropped us into?

Here we go again.
You can no more blame Richardson for that recession than give Labour the credit for economic growth. NZ is a small bit of economic flotsam floating in a big world.

Her benefit cuts were long overdue - she did what previous Governments didn't have the guts to do. That is leadership.

I don't think we'll know on Saturday or even Sunday for that matter. Depends who gets the most seats out of the Greens or the Maori Party. Either one could go with National.................yes that's what I said. The way Brash has been trying to buy his way into power he is just as likely to scrap Nationals 'one people' policy to become PM.

But since you asked I'd still go with Labour and the status quo.

Skyryder

National follows a policy that is expected of them.
Labour says there is no money, yet finds some to respond to Nationals policies.
And you say National buys votes and I assume Labour doesn't???

Give me the knife - I'd happily stick it into the lying snivelling little bastard. He's weak, stupid and resorts to filthy tactics then lies about his involvement.

He's also two-faced says one thing to a person's face then another behind their back - vis. that crap at the Wananga in Te Awamutu the other day. Says complimentary things to them after they've invited him in and then slams them when he's outside and completely retracts what he told them.

Kinda like his 180-degree on the matter of the smear campaign, isn't it.

The man has no integrity and when he finally is consigned to the political scrap-heap he will thoroughly deserve it. Wish it would happen today.

Respecting women is one thing, a completely condescending approach is something entirely different.

Helen Clark has achieved more for the majority of people in this country in the last six years then the national party has ever achieved. Voting for national will mean the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. National's past track record on health and social welfare is appalling and resulted in sending a large number of people below the relative poverty line. As far as I am concerned every person in this country has the right to food, shelter and warmth. Until the national party and Don Brash demonstrate some commitment to ensuring a minimum standard of health then I am afraid I will remain a left wing supporter.

The poor should get poorer.Make them get off their arses!

In capitalism Man exploits Man
In Socialism it's the opposite

[Pixie]

I don't care who you vote for, just as long as you do vote!

If you are eligible to vote and don't vote this weekend then you have no right to complain when the next government passes legislation you don't like!

That's an original comment.
Since when did not voting mean you couldn't complain?

[Pixie]

Socialists want to trap the poor into welfare.It insures they will always have a strong vote at every election

[Pixie]

I thought it was clear.
You expect a Government to provide things that a small government can't.
The Louisiana floods are a prime example.
Bush is a proponent of small government, so he cuts funding to projects designed to protect against flooding. The result has been obvious.
There's no such thing as a free lunch. If Brash truly gets his way, you'll need your tax cuts to pay for medical insurance, private security for your home, super scheme, because you won't even get the scraps they throw us now.
And pray to whatever Gods you believe in that you won't be made redundant under their 'flexible' employment law.
Because good ACT acolytes like Brash believe that unemployment is a useful economic tool to drive down wages.

Vote left Lou.And just before you put the ballot paper in the slot,use it to wave good bye to that $4000

[Pixie]

Yeah, there's heaps of examples and we always hear the bad ones. But of all the bad stories, there's another 500 good stories. Bet ya didn't know your neighbour was on the DPB did ya...

What's a good welfare story?
"I was on it for $40 years and my arse grew to the size of an elephant"?

[Pixie]

Explain why you think next election is more important

Because if labour get back in this election, by then we will be really in the shit

[Pixie]

I'm sorry to inform you that yer getting interest increases whoever wins the election.

Great! I have no debt and lots of investments

Several posts too late, mate - That point of Uncle Helen's duplicity has already been raised as a counter argument to mine and I have already answered that I have no respect for her lack of integrity either.

I don't like or respect liars. As politicians are given to lying, I have no respect for any of them.

And, unlike Zed, I cannot bring myself to choose any form of "evil", whether lesser or greater (sorry, Zed, all in good fun...)

Oh no, I won't be doing that. I just love baiting the ' Labour's done everything wrong and the Nats will put it right crowd'.
They all sound like first time voters.
