Hard News: We can do better than this, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
But it’s such a small life, isn’t it?
Short is a better adjective I think. Those who are indulging in this fuckery, that the Slater fiasco has revealed have small and evil lives. And that is the problem. They seem unable or unwilling to look past/outside of themselves.

the cynical side of politics is not new,
No its not. But is this all we (I mean us with no influence, outside of casting a vote) can expect? Global warning is a fact. Yet we are lumbered with short-sighted self-serving people who just like being in charge and, it seems, will do anything to stay there.
A system that revolves around money and doesnt go any further. Those human qualities or caring and co-operation, thinking long term for the welfare of all are slowly being sidelined. Its hard not to despair sometimes... -
Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to izogi,
fix the system
Where do we start? There is so much wrong with our way of living on this planet much of it coming from our past and we just carry on as if the problem is to big to deal with.
It's not. -
Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to SHG,
Gotta say, a totally unauthenticated email reproduced in a book after being supplied to the author by a totally anonymous source is hardly what I’d call “proof”.
So are you going to read the book? Or just dismiss it out of hand

Hard News: Not doing justice, in reply to Pete George,
Kim Dotcom promotes himself as founder and visionary of the Internet Party and holds a special position of ‘Visionary’ in their party organisation as per their published party rules.
Been at work, I have a job. But man oh man! you must have scoured their literature to find that, ' cause I can't. Thats it I'm out, up at 5am tomorrow.

Have the visionary
? who's that.
They have a potential problem in that having promoted and owned anti-Key rhetoric and actions they may now be perceived as associated with the actions of people who are independent of the party organisation.
Perceptions are a funny things, never to be relied on. IMO
When the Protocols of Zion are bought up it time to walk away.

we must also strive to have more “informed democrats”, as only well informed voters will likely make the right kinds of decisions
Well it sounds right and the kind of thing we should all "strive" to do, But when they come out with lazy stuff like this...
" it wasn't racist because a Chinese man told him the joke. " Guess who?
And they are on an easy wicket for life Its hard to feel anything but resentment.

Hard News: The silence of the public square, in reply to Pete George,
Is Kim Dotcom a politician?
Is that a special breed of humans? The polibeing?? Are they perhaps bred in a special enclosure to stop them being contaminated in some way?
He’s a showman and a political party “founder and visionary”. It’s yet to be seen how successful his brand of politics will be
OH do they come in different brands? Is that stamped on their foreheads at birth? Who knew!

whether he is ‘a politician’ or not but he continues to be very political, and the success or failure of the Internet Party will be largely due to his massive presence.
Oh .. get over it. The Nats would fail without The Tefloned one

You mean John Voldemort Key?
Yeah, because someone who (whether you like it or not) is still Prime Minister after not one but two free, fair and credible general elections is exactly like a fictional mass murderer.
No! If I may speak for you Judi. She was doing a play on the danyl's words, these one's "not mentioning the PM’s name." and making an allusion to the whispered "He who cant be named" about a fictional evil wizard, in the recently popular kids novels and films.
Nothing sinister in it
