Elections are coming up. What are we thinking?

[Katman]

It does piss me off, because a large portion of this country is actually pretty thick....

Don't be so hard on yourself.

[puddytat]

all you want, you're the one believing dim post and Hagar

.

As opposed to you believing the Herald & whaleoil?

Typical kneejerk right wing wank fest reaction to yet ANOTHER dodgey rightwing fuckup.

:
Think about it, he as said they were acquired in an illegal way.
.

As opposed to illegally spying on NZers by the Govt.

I bet your upper middle class ....

[Mr Revhead]

As opposed to you believing the Herald & whaleoil?

Typical kneejerk right wing wank fest reaction to yet ANOTHER dodgey rightwing fuckup.

Typical kneejerk response to reason and responsible thinking by someone who wants the book to be true.
You are prepared to unquestioningly believe a known false source?

Think:
Who is saying these things?
It's one month from an election.

Those two things alone raise questions about the motivation and truthfulness.

Add those two together and think about it.


And since when is refusal to blindly believe one person automatically meant you believed another 100%?
Lots of looooooong bows being drawn lately isn't there!

[Mr Revhead]

As opposed to illegally spying on NZers by the Govt.

I bet your upper middle class ....

Please detail the illegal spying? News to me!
Are you trying to say you are jealous of me because you perceive me to be richer than you? That's hilarious!!

My missus says I'm classless

He was so upset and angry that he wanted bullets put in peoples head. What type of nut job takes political shit like this so personally?

What this man needs clearly is a box of tissues to wipe away all those tears from the torment of having someone criticise his idols, then he can use the leftovers to clean up the sloppy mess from wanking over his idols responses.

Hagar has created a rice bowl for himself and he trades on election season to enact it ... it will pass and faid away like all his other ones!

As opposed to the shoe being on the other foot & Slater released something similar to thwart a lefty Govt?

No doubt he'll seek an injunction & demand Hagar reveals his source, whereas when he was in the shit a while back he used the Court to protect his own.

Have we started discussing the pros and cons of various party's economic strategies yet? Or is it still all who looks best in a whale skin suit?

This is what is wrong with NZ politics, you fuckers claim its all the politicians fault for being cunts, yet that is what you focus on leading up to the election; no fucking wonder it is a self fulfilling prophecy then is it

This man has a point!!

Yes, come Christmas time, National will have the most seats in the House, JK will be Prime Minister, Conspiracy theorists will still be conspiracy theorists (bless them) and Nicky Hagars book will be on a clearance special at Whitcoulls.

Life will be good.

He does. It protrudes from the top of his head and is more commonly referred to as a penis.

I can't comment on the book specifically as I haven't read it. I did however read the Whaleoil blog for a couple of years or so. Being very familiar with the blog some of the reported claims in the book make sense. When reading the blog some of the items produced a "WTF?" reaction, particularly those regarding health matters. The contention that Slater didn't write them and was paid to publish them makes perfect sense now.

At the time Slater was very fond of mentioning his close contacts within the National party, his father is a former National Party office holder. Those contacts will probably be a little less keen on the association currently. At least until after the election.

Some of the causes that Slater chose to push were not at all unworthy, f'rinstance his campagn against excessive use of name suppression by the courts.

Still, the new book will keep the talkback lines busy. Thank God for the Internet.

If we take notice of history the realisation that differing political affiliations do in fact lead to radically different outcomes.
The looting of this countries assets and the future denigration of our independence are actions that need to be resisted.
Our Nationalistic pride has been subverted and replaced by a jingoistic belief that being a part of the great US hegemony is good for NZ and we should just roll over and enjoy the shafting we are about to receive.

We have all heard of the global economic crisis of 2007, 2008.
Has anybody heard of the global economic crisis of 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014?
I would think not. This has been an NZ phenomenon created by the actions of this govt. as has been the decline in our rankings vis a vis other OECD countries.
That we are higher up in some measures may be attributed to the fact that this govt. hasn't meddled in those areas.
The 'recession' we have been sold is similar to the 'recession' we always end up with when the electorate swallows the line that a National led govt. will be good for this country.
Swallowing this line and expecting different outcomes is nuts.

OK, interesting opinions but (put simplistically) what I base most of mine on is "the purchasing power of our dollars" almost all of which are now discretionary.

When I retired in 1999 I had everything sorted out to (give or take) see us through to the end, based on living to 100! ... God forbid!

The value of and the purchasing power of our "nest egg" (for the want of description) has been more savagely eroded under Clark's Labour lead coalitions!

We now have almost no way left to us of making required adjustments to cover the erosion of our discretionary $$'s !

The only way for us is to "hope" that a left wing (envy based) government is denied office!

Of those that are in the offering at this election it is our opinion (selfishly if you like) that there be no change at least for the next term!

Every political party (except Democrats for Social Credit) pledge to continue with the same current flawed monetary policies so there is only more of the same on offer!

And you expect something "different" to come from that?
