Is John Key the man to lead NZ?

[Hinny]

Key's much vaunted increase in diplomatic protection was obviously a waste of money.
His astuteness at not noticing the recorder several cms from his hand is immeasurable. Could have been a bomb.
The Aussie handlers are doing a great job focusing on this storm in a tea cup. Divert all media attention to this.
Labour policies don't get a look in.
Then the counter intuitive attention focus.
Say they want to "focus on the economy". They don't really though. Why would they? They really have fucked up. . . as predicted.
Those that belittle the job that Michael Cullen did before are ignoring statistics and are out of tune with Bill English who conceded that "he did a pretty good job".
The same cannot be said of the current holder of the purse strings.

Your ugly and your mother dresses you funny!

KB fight club...yeeha.

It hurts because its true.

[Hinny]

I am opposed to the identification of government with a single charismatic leader (the “cult of personality”), which is the cornerstone of fascism.

I am opposed to the Presidential style adopted by Jonkey, surrounded by obsequious sycophants and the National Party with their veteran role models:

• Murky campaign finances,
• Revolving doors between Govt and Private Enterprise
• Endemic corruption,
• Nepotism,
• Cronyism,
• Self censoring media,
• Socially, economically and politically excluded minorities. and so on.

I can almost see why he thinks he needs all those bodyguards.

[Swoop]

and How much are you paying for ACC,,,

*gets out calculator*
Total + gst + increases for political perks, LESS devaluation LESS not giving a rat's arse...
*scratches head*
Grand total = $0.00!!!!!

Thanks to National's position on ACC I am saving an absolute fortune. Prior to them getting in, I was paying the tax happily, but Nicky boy has changed the rules in my favour. Even my insurer insists that I do NOT pay this!
Cheers!

I'm thinking it was the threats of death.

And fucking Peters and Goff are loving every second of it.

I really don't get too involved in politics, they're all as bad as each other I reckon. I really think the only damage this will do for Key is expose him as the typical two faced politician that a lot of NZ had convinced themselves he wasn't, but certainly no worse than any others.

Pefect illustration of the unfortunate choices we have to make in this upcoming farce. Still, you cant moan if you dont vote so its a case of who will sell the least amount of porky pies.........mmmmm, pies.....

Well Goffs got a Bonneville and I see its still got the very dire standard suspension on it. If he cannot pick up on fundamentals like that then theres no way he can run a country!

While I hate Labour/Goff........I believe you have the ego for politics.
You also have the bizarre belief that you think everyone MUST spend $$$ on items they don't need.

You'd fit right in.

[avgas]

both own oil stocks?

[Berries]

Still, you cant moan if you dont vote.

Why not?

It is the national pastime after all.

I can and will continue to "moan" and most definately will not be voting. Why would I vote for something/anything I don't agree with. Choosing the perceived lesser of the evils , erm, no i'll pass ta... i'm off to get the pork pies outta the fridge god damn you FM, damn you!!!! but my stomach thanks you

Agreed about the Presidential style campaign but every country uses it these days. I don't like it either and the Labour campaign rates higher IMHO. But probably not with the voters: it is much easier to look and listen to one person. In the last three elections Helen Clark ran a Presidential campaign, and good on her. It worked.

Anyway, these murky finances, corruption etc, can you give specific details please Hinny?

No you just think you dont need it. Why spend money on roads when you can have better suspension to absorb the bumps on the roads we already have.

If he had death threats then that makes their failure even worse.
