Very good! Nine out of ten people we polled had no idea what the billboards were about. That's true, you know. I hope the Kiwiblog Right stay this irrelevant.
Off topic - but Tane you and the other writers here, and most of the posters, are turning this blog into NZ's best. Although I disagree with a fair bit of what you guys write, the debate is usually of a very high standard. I had given up on pollie blogs ...
I do hope this is not National's position. If Key looks to repeal this amendment I won't vote for him. Farrar has always been opposed to this - he appeared to soften his stance when Key changed his tune. I admire Key for that. But since then DPF has taken ...
Yeah - I thought it was illegal too. That was mentioned, and they disagreed it would be illegal. The rumour is pretty weird I must say. Can't see it happening myself.
That 'mob' of course.
Just as an aside some top level corporate American business people were here last week, and they said the rumour going around is that if Hillary gets the nod she will make Bill vice-president! They seemed to take this seriously. As an Obamaholic I was ...
Like Owen Glenn, Nader is just another old rich white guy with more money than sense. He couldn't be less appealing - at least to me.
Robinsod: I'm sure you would all like to know that is is KG ([name deleted]) of the crusader rabbit blog that is behind the consulship sale on trademe that Farrar and Whale are so excited about. I note he's also constantly calling for a war on Islam as ...
Nice pics of them both aren't they? Much better than the usual unflattering ones. Just saying :-)
I don't think politics comes into having kids terribly much. People have kids to enrich their lives - you get rewards from your kids that no one else can give you. And they are hard work regardless of the economic conditions. My kids have been such a joy ...
Agree Sprout. As I've said b4 - I support Key, but if he looks like repealing this amendment I will not vote for him. I genuinely think Key agrees with Bradford on this - he alienated a lot of his blue-rinse brigade/far right supporters because of it, and ...
Yeah - and it wasn't just Family First supporting her. I think a lot of bloggers/blogs should be named and shamed too.
That was his WIFE! Get it right you men ;-)
There has been some awful misogynistic posts about her, too. She had class. I'll be interested to see what comes out.
That's 'if' not 'is'.
OT perhaps, but I would be very surprised is 'Michele' - I think it should be Michelle - is a woman. The rhetoric and style is most unusual for female writers. Plus he sounds kinda familiar.
All the more reason why Rudd's apology was long overdue Ben R -- 99% of the problems Aboriginals face has been caused by government intervention. Something I would have thought conservatives and libertarians would understand. Amazes me how those who gnash ...
I'm very disappointed that Rich is going. I admired her principled stand on S59 and other things. About the female vote --women have fought long and hard to be judged on their merits instead of their gender. Women should exercise their right to vote for ...
Sounds like someone I used to know from a sharemarket site...very similar. Freshly cooked meat ought not be rushed. But never rest a steak. Say some. Allegedly.
Haha - the referendum questions are idiotic as the cartoonist points out. Maybe one should have been "Do you think inflicting physical pain as punishment is a part of good parenting?" That is what their question actually means. Retards.
This has always been a beltway issue. I don't like the EFA, but I have said many times b4 that I wish I had so little else to worry about in my life that I had the time to march down queen st about it. Shows the disconnect between reality and the ...
Why you right wingers defend the FSC is beyond me. I support National for the most part, but the FSC guys are obviously a pack of drunks, judging by at least one of their founding members deranged blog posts. They are a disgrace.
Repeating what I said to Ranapaia - I'm getting rather tired of this 'holocaust on a plate'. To thick skins it may not be offensive, but it's utterly tasteless, and a liability to be sure, even though National have distanced themselves from these people.
The blog could be hosted by King Kong for all I care. 90% of the general public don't even know what 'hosted' means. I disagree with most of what is written here, and I dislike how it has become a John Key Hate Site for the most part. However the posts ...
This thread reminds me of the words of a blogger I used to read. He called himself an 'ex architect'. His words were "You have never heard bullshit until you have heard an architect talk about his work. He thinks he is doing God's work". John Key or Helen ...
The market treats all workers fairly and impartially based on the value they add for others. What a howler! Tell that to the CEO's in the US who have recently been paid out hundreds of millions of dollars when all they have done is destroy shareholder ...
I suppose on some intellectual level an argument about John Key's holiday house could be considered interesting. And I suppose there is some sort of forum where discussion and debate on the issue would be considered appealing. But my immediate response is ...
I used to be full of libertarian evangelistic zeal at her age. But eventually reality has its day. The true efficacy of a libertarian free market has never been proven; as there is no Libertopia. This is a great advantage in an argument. Also ...
Because agreement means seeking concensus and that means engendering an environment of civility in which listening and discussing and going through an orderly debate of pros and cons can occur. But Jum, most on the internet don't seek to convince *anyone* ...
Thx Jum! Really it doesn't make much difference to me who wins this year. Politics doesn't affect my everyday life, but I enjoy being involved in it - you meet interesting people :-). Nothing much is going to change if the Nats win - I just think it's time...
I'm just pleased National has distanced itself from these mouth-foamers. Really they are the party's achilles heel. I hate to think what embarrassing thing these people are going to do next. Probably most here hope they will continue in the same vein ;-)
