After all, the Nats promised cast iron to privatise nothing during this term, so what's the difference?<br /><br />Nothing - it's not politics being brought into disrepute, it is the reputation of politics as a career of deception being maintained.Libertyscotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741049550997300680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-4131238546041734072010-02-11T08:08:48.627+13:002010-02-11T08:08:48.627+13:00This government, this Prime Minister, the National...This government, this Prime Minister, the National Party, and all those who defend any of them, are a disgrace. <br /><br />The Prime Minister clearly breaks a promise and he (and his supporters) have not the integrity to acknowledge that a breach of their word took place. Somehow, to me, it is worse that they reject that they have even broken an election promise with the PM's lying in parliament yesterday trying to use semantic arguments. They are not to be trusted. <br /><br />Labour are, of course, no different. <br /><br />And these are the people that most New Zealanders vote for to tell us what we can and cannot do. Who is responsible for this disgrace?

On that score I suppose higher earners are going to be better off under the National Socialists, provided of course, the modest return of *their* money isn't eaten up by his comrades, like his seemingly unsatiated and hollow-legged Minister of Transport.Jamesonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-55267970486976698222010-02-10T18:56:15.287+13:002010-02-10T18:56:15.287+13:00Jonkey is immitating Obama in trying to be a peop...Jonkey is immitating Obama in trying to be a people's person and at the same time screwing those same people with his cunningness.

Key said today, quote, "I said I wouldn't raise GST to cover deficits"<br /><br />but that is not what he " said" <br /><br />before the election " National is not going to be raising GST. National wants to cut taxes, not raise taxes "<br /><br />that 2008 question may have been framed in terms of addressing the deficit, but today, Key has misrepresented what he claimed his 2008 words were.Swimminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12913329810121951824noreply@blogger.com
