Key does a runner

[trustme]

I doubt if this is anyone from from Labour as Key claims.

The scary thing is you actually believe what you are writing
Who the hell else has anything to gain by doing it , the tape dovetails in with Labour's trust campaign, was it a card carrying labour party member ? possibly not , but you know full well there will be a link somewhere.
Remember the Doris who sabotaged the Key Blog , "I'm not labour" she protested , but background checks showed the link
This last tape was a total fizzer like the neutron bomb, Labour would be better finding positives to campaign on rather than attempts to smear it's opposition

I dont blame Key for dodging, if you are going to have a scrap with some one you make damn sure it is on your terms, you never let the other bloke have any form of advantage, why let Peters dictate the terms, time & place for combat,thats bullshit, look for the high ground & advantage then engage . It's why Clark has been so successful, the dabates must piss her off big time, the temerity of that upstart Noob to fight back.

Really, can anyone here say that they'd honestly want to share the same space with that lying coon?

[Quasievil]

Fronts up in Taurangia for a bit of electioneering, Winston shows up and Key runs away leaving his minders. What a wuss. The man is ball-less.


Skyryder

Which Politician would want to bump into Winston on the election trail ??

none, they guy is history no association is the best association when it comes to this idiot

[MisterD]

I doubt if this is anyone from from Labour as Key claims. The fallout would be catastropohic if National Id'd the taper coming from Labour. Keys response is predictable. If you don't know the source blame someone who might...........some will believe.

boy's a chicken shit...

[Headbanger]

Key should have used the opportunity to shoot the fool down, But not doing so just makes it all a non-event, hardly worth a mention let alone a rant. Having met Winston in the past I would have taken the opportunity to avoid him as well.

That aside, Labour continue to make themselves look like tools with the release of yet another ridicules and worthless secret taping.

[JMemonic]

What are you all getting so heated up over they are all a pack of lying mongrels, Labour, National, Winston etc, they only have their best interests in mind not yours not mine, the sooner everyone wakes up to this fact and actually start to think for themselves the better.

How come in this country we don limit the term a person can sit as PM? bet none of the politicians would back that idea.

How come we the public are not entitled to subject them to a contract that sets out what they promise they will achieve and time frames?

I hate election time brings out the worst in people, step back and take a look its like a bunch of kids in a sandpit.

Has anybody noticed that Cullen has been pretty much MIA during the campaign. If you dont see him , you can't ask him the hard questions. He will be very carefully picking his terms of engagement with the press, where is the debate with English on the economy similar to the debate he had with Key last election. What is in the December mini budget, what aren't we being told ???

[Manxman]

How on earth could anyone have a problem with that statement?



I mean, it's arguably a flawed perspective, but it just sounds to me like someone thinking out loud about the situation. And, after all, Mr English is the finance man, not the foreign policy man.

Labour really are grasping desperately at straws, aren't they?

Yup. Anyone who plays the man and not the ball has lost the game.

Is III still around??

Dead right. As an analogy, not fronting up to the press when the financial chips are down, is no different to avoiding someone who deliberately tries to set up a situation in the street.

Cullen's excuse, is that he's working on fixing the banking system, blah, blah, blah. But you can bet yer bottom dollar that if the financials were stacking up well, he'd be in front of the camera with that Cheshire Cat grin of his...

Politics is like bringing up kids: pick your fights. Don't try and win every fight.

Again, dead right. It's all about them, not us. Principles have long since ceased to exist in the world of politics.

I'd say the more switched on among us clearly understand this, but the voting choices are limited.

So you would do it yourself, or you wouldn't? The guy is damn quick with his mouth - far too quick for anyone with something to lose, to want to engage him. It would be like wearing a funny hat at a Rodney Rude show.

No idea, If I'm ever the head of the National party 3 days out from an election and the same situation arises I'll make a decision and then get right back to you.

Perhaps he is clearing out his office?

The retard is one person that needs to be kept away from the public.

Is III still around??

I'm guessing that he is also MIA, due to his other login... "Short_Circuit".

The point that those who think Labour are behind the leaks have no evidence to support their claim. Their belief is based soley on conjecture that Labour will gain from the leaks and so must be involved. One thing in politics is that there are very few secrets that do not get uncovered. My own view that this is based if not on one person then some who can be trusted to keep quet as to date no one has named etc. There may be some indavidual from the Labour Party who is culpret who knows But this is not the same as what Key and others are saying in that this a 'desperate' Labour tactic.
And by this is it Labour who are doing the planning and the leaking. Now I can understand why Key blames Clarke and Labour for this. It is a 'genuine political' defence from someone who wants to deflect any damage. But why others who have taken the same line where there is no 'political gain' from doing so is a mystery to me.
