  • Hard News: Vision and dumbassery, in reply to John Farrell,

    Given Ian has admitted to a grip on the Village Idiot role, it's not insulting to say I simply don't understand Village Idiot-speak. Otherwise, I'd reply.
    I note no real attempts to classify Cunliffe's strengths as a potential Prime Minister as yet. Surely, that's not a big ask.
    Isogi gives a coherent argument in looking past Cunliffe in order to justify voting for Labour but I contend that the leader's strengths or otherwise are a critical factor.

    I'd be surprised if anybody would dare challenge you as Supreme Village Idiot.
    How could they?

  • Speaker: Telling Our Own Tales,

    When Gerard wrote this, it is now beyond doubt that he was directing a series on the ChCh rebuild which is about to screen on TV1.

    A fact that completely undermines his complaint.

    How about telling the truth next time, the whole truth?

  • Hard News: Vision and dumbassery,

    I have a few questions, asked in good faith.
    Given the amount [or is that the thread] of Key-knocking, Key-criticism, Key-reviling, Key-patronising, Key-negativity, Key-accusations etc that permeate nearly each and every post on this site, either directly or indirectly, could somebody please tell me what would make a man who currently leads a party that rates at about 25% in most polls, a man who had approximately half the Labour caucus disapproving of his choice as leader, fit to lead this country?
    I've scoured recent responses to all the topics related to the upcoming election and nowhere, as in NOWHERE, can I find one affirmation as to what would make Cunliffe a competent, credible, stability-sustaining leader.
    I would have thought given the monumental amount of Key-bashing, somebody at some stage would have detailed the merits of Cunliffe as the only possible alternative to take command.
    Anybody able to oblige? Anybody?

  • Hard News: Vision and dumbassery, in reply to Rich Lock,

    Engaging in good faith does not mean accusing me of making "bald-faced statements" and "only at this party to annoy people."
    That is patronising and pompous.
    Try again.

    Here we go again. Another bleater resorting to personal abuse. Likening engaging with me to "wrestling with a pig, getting dirty and running away."
    Why do you adhere to Russell's plea to "keep it nice."
    I have and never get snarky first. Lift your game nzlemming.
    Again I say, even blind Freddie could see that what annoys my detractors the most is my unequivocal support for what John Key offers.
    That's what irritates the likes of nzlemming and rich lock and cjm etc etc the most

    Morning Rich,
    I have expanded on why I like Key, why he is good for you and me.
    Page 4 of the PA topic "2014. The Meth Election"
    Best you read that and that would have spared the need for any pompous lecturing....a la accusing me of making "bald-faced conclusions".
    Do your homework.
