Dont you think he would have more success ripping off the rich people? AFAIK, he is already rich and has no need to rip people off, on the other hand you would rather back a woman (arguable, I know) who cant even be bother to make herself look presentable to the rest of the world. Is a dyke, legalises prostitution and gay marriages, and just to ensure she gets your vote....tempts you with a tax cut weeks from election. If that doesnt rip your shorts, you obviously too rich to care so I dont know what your problem is with JK. I think Labour did well with the Working for Family, however I believe that was a revamped Nat Policy. Labour has failed with any kind of tax relief, crime, education, MP discipline, non popular policies from minority parties, did I say crime? You also realise that Cullen has enjoyed a boom the last 6 yr due global prosperity, not what he has done, and what did he give you in return?....nada. |

And now building firms are laying off hundreds of people. And now Clark is talking about bringing forward the building of state houses. They should have done that six months ago when everyone with half a brain could see a major crisis coming. |

So I take it you are in favour of more government intervention....I thought you right-wingers don't like nanny state interference. Martynz |

| 716842 | 2008-11-05 07:19:00 | john key is just another money grubber whose dream came true and he had no other, so now he is projecting his view of what he thinks people should do, ie live to make money onto all the rest of us because he is spiritually bankrupt, this is an old boring story which is beneath contempt and is only seen as a vision for the future by those who think money brings happiness before they learn their lesson by getting it and their world still stays the same but they now have achieved their goal and have nothing to do. It is because NZ is a new country with increasing numbers of people from less mature cultures that this knowledge is not part of the cultural heritage. The NZ mindset has been hijacked by bankrupt american economic values and the wisdom of older people has been lost. |

| 716843 | 2008-11-05 07:26:00 | Let me get this straight, NZ is a new country with a knowledge that is getting high jacked by less mature people from far older countries? You do realise you never make any sense or coherent points?, ever? |

| 716844 | 2008-11-05 07:34:00 | 'So I take it you are in favour of more government intervention....I thought you right-wingers don't like nanny state interference.' You are so right, their baby mentality dream of easy riches did not come true and now they are crying to the nanny state they dis-espouse at every opportunity to make it all ok for them, another big laugh. I shouldn't really say this but I will, I think that belief in simplistic right wing values as a panacea for the world's problem is a sign of a failure to grasp the inherent complexity of real world systems and as such shows a lack of insight, and I am being polite. Having everyone in the country going to work every day, working their guts out and earning a pittance except for a select few isn't really going to solve anything. There may be no solution and that is why you only get well intentioned idiots and greedy, unprincipled ex business men trying to run countries. I am trying not to be guilty of calumny here but it is very difficult to avoid the truth. |

| 716845 | 2008-11-05 07:37:00 | This whole election nonsense is a straight con. They have hi-jacked a fine honourable word and turned it into a thing to be scorned. It is time that party went back to meaning party, and political mobs went back to being called nests of parasites on a power kick. If there is no beer there is no party. If there is coven of politicians, it is, or will be, a wake. ("Wake" in the sense of a disturbance following a movement and representing drag, or lost energy.) ;) |

| 716846 | 2008-11-05 07:40:00 | No, that is not what I said but since you opened this particular topic, NZ is a new country that has been absolutely rooted up the a..e by america and has taken it all with a smile on it's face and is asking for more. All of our vital government services have been privatized and sold on to american business interests over the last 25 years, and people still haven't realized what has happened, and that is the smallest part of the piracy. As proof I offer the observation that prices of electricity and other vital services just keep on rising but nothing has actually changed except that the shareholders are getting more and more greedy. |
