His was a dream of sharing the wealth it was just anti capitalism. The labour party on NZ was formed on the coast based on commie principles. In simplistic terms we the miners are the good guys and the mine owners are bad people Junior member forever; very apt indeed. |

It's not nearly that simple. You're almost right about Communism, but well done for turning a simple point into a giant cluster ****. Very adult. And you'll find that you need to call Nats fascist to come anywhere near to making your point. Basically; good try, but you're wrong. And nice going not polarising PF1, Usually we fight like anything, but we seem to be a united front against you on this one. |

| 719063 | 2008-11-11 05:58:00 | To get back to the original heading... I've just found this thread & am surprised at how many of you are anti-Cullen. I've no idea why ( X Me for a post doesn't say a lot) but assume you're simply attaching your general anti-Labour principles to an individual. So to use our traditional hackneyed rugby sayings, that's playing the man. not the ball. Someone here suggested he was an idiot. Actually, Michael Cullen has more brains than practically anyone in our parliament. He is intelligent, witty & has a wicked sense of humour. Sadly, our parliamentary debate system means these talents are often used simply to slag off the opposition. (I'm not going to debate his financial skills as that's not what this thread emphasises, but I believe they've served us well for the circumstances of the times) I'm speaking from the point of view of a former journalist who first interviewed him when he stood for what was then Dunedin's St Kilda electorate. And I've watched his progress onwards & upwards, of course. I thought he was a genuinely nice guy then - and I haven't changed my mind since. |

That would be me Laura. I'm speaking from a financial policy perspective. Did you know he wrote a book? It was titled "The Statistical Movement in Early Victorian Britain" - which compared to John Keys qualifications, seems woefully inadequate for managing our economy. He was out of his depth, a view shared by those who understand finances, e.g. darrenrickard.blogspot.com Consider also Laura he brought this on himself. No-one asked him to use words like 'rich prick'. :cool: |

| 719067 | 2008-11-11 06:58:00 | What do you suggest Cicero? :) I suggest she take a running jump Andrew. Nothing worse than a bad judge of character. |
