    Hmm yes true, as long as we have Douglas and ACT as a buffer we should be safe.

  • Hard News: Doing the Rounds,

    For God's sake - no kidding it's a sensible strategy for Key to not disclose bugger-all about himself in order to vote maximize and minimize potential supporter alienation. THE POINT is what does he really stand for? It's kind of important because if he does get his hands on the levers of government we really don't want him to become another crypto-facist born-again Rogernome.

    Citizens of New Zeland, our new Prime Minister John Key: "

    Hi People - Surprise! We're selling the lot, no more SOEs, CrOCs or CRIs, I'm selling what's left to my merchant banker mates (don't worry, we'll get a great price, I have excellent connections in that world after all!) Oh yes, and we'll be dismantling the last vestiges of the welfare state, all that profiligate free health, education and welfare, all before those commy bastard Labour types get back in and get a chance to restore it. And just wait till you see my new anti-civil liberties measures - all im the name of fighting terrorists of course - and did I mention ANZUS II and the new trans-Tasman currency the ANZAC? It'll do wonders for corporate profitability. Didn't you know that's what you were voting for New Zealand? Oh well tough, get knotted if you don't like it, not much you can do now"

    You see it is actually quite important we know what he stands for in case he does get elected.

    PS. I read that J Black article in the Listener, it was the print equivalent of the late Susan Woods jerking-off Key on the tele. I noticed in that article he reckoned he was always really interested in politics since a young boy, and always a Nat. Must have just suspended his judgement for the Tour I guess.

    Does this Burq, ah, make his Arse look Fatwa?

    Amen his bum looks big when he pretends to not remember the Tour. A really big arse. A really big, insincere calculating arse.

    It has precisely nothing to do with racism, tour support, or avoiding misquotation. It's just about being green.

    Take it away Kermit...

    Who is the ideologically jerky John Key? Why he's Don Brash, only younger of course.

    Let's see... um:

    millionaire banker,
    white middle class male,
    joined the Party for one reason alone,
    allegedly socialist early background brought to see the light of neoconservatism in later life,
    politically naive from being parachuted into politics,
    unedifyingly equivocal,
    with no particular convictions other than win at all costs pragmatism.

    Did I say he was at least younger than Don Brash? I wonder if he appeals to the ladies?

    Master John were busy learnin how to teach us folk to trust im with looking after us common types. Can't expect him to be bothered with that lot.
    Master John says the Lord has given him as proof that hard work can make us all millionaires and we shouldn't be worried about that politicis and carry on. Told us you shouldn't mix politics and sport neither.
    All that book learnin type thinking about what a man means when he says something is the devil's work.

    How truly odd that someone capable of such sustained argument and complex sentences could genuinely believe Clark and Collins to be comparable?
    Seems a bit fishy to me. Me thinks he protesteth too much.
