Dear Secretary Clinton:
Next time you want us to get involved in a war be a petal and ask first.
Thanking you in advance. Hugs and kisses,
New Zealand.

Hard News: We ... WHAT!?, in reply to Jolisa,
WTF. Auto-complete??
Or someone who had a very late night on the diplomatic razzle the night before?

Hard News: We ... WHAT!?, in reply to Russell Brown,
Given that that's the official State Department transcript, that would be an interesting situation.
Yeah, if by "interesting" you mean "pretty fucking scary" because weirdly enough you're not the only person on Earth who takes things on US State Department letterhead very seriously indeed.

Up Front: Choice, Bro, in reply to Chris Waugh,
And Colin thinks Key is too gay?
I don’t know what planet My Evil Namesake lives on, but the people I know who live out Helensville way? Plenty of lifestyle block commuters who are more worried about making the next mortgage payment than Teh Evil Geh Agenda and *cough* eccentric hippy types whose brand of conservatism is very much “leave me the fuck alone, and I’ll repay the courtesy.” A concept I wish My Evil Namesake would wrap his head around.
Oh, and the idea that it's not hard to find a constituent who doesn't agree with everything (or even ANYTHING) their local MP says or does? Not news but simple reality. Democrazy's a bitch, ain't it?

Whereas Colin Craig is too stupid for this world or any other...

Up Front: Choice, Bro, in reply to Lucy Stewart,
You’re ignoring a lot of work by a lot of people when you assume that.
Not all of whom are Labour, with or without air quotes, by any stretch of the imagination. Just saying... Don't get me started on Raymond Huo -- a shiver looking for a spine to run up if there ever was one. At least Sua William Sio could be arsed walking into the NO lobby.

Up Front: Choice, Bro, in reply to Kyle Matthews,
Maybe Sio believes that his seat is in danger, in which case some Labour strategists need to sit down with him and point out the realities.
To be entirely cynical, I suspect Sio through throwing the queers under the bus would do some damage control after this went down like the proverbial bucket of cold sick. Which just make the epic concern trolling all the more distasteful.

Up Front: Choice, Bro, in reply to Kyle Matthews,
don’t know whether it’s true, but I think Labour feels that when that South Auckland Labour vote doesn’t turn out, they get screwed.
Well, sure -- but as Emma said the idea Suo's been pushing that marriage equality will cost Labour some of its safest seats? Well, as I've said ad nauseum, remember when Fran Wilde handed National the '87 general election? You don't because it didn't happen.

Up Front: Choice, Bro, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
I thought he genuinely felt between a rock and a hard place. He was heavily lobbied by his electorate, and he will be voted out if he went against them .
Oh, bullshit. I’m sorry but Mangere is Labour’s equivalent of North Shore – the day that seat flips, Labour has much bigger problems than being in thrall to the godless sodomite agenda. And could someone remind me what kind of damage homosexual law reform, the Human Rights Amendment Act and civil unions did Labour in that corner of South Auckland? (Hint: Zip. Nada. And zero.)
I’m sure a smaller percentage of Pasifika people support marriage equality.
And what exactly is that certainty based on, Paul?
