It’s a good blog to read.
Some good think pieces in the blog. Over time it’s a good reflection of the ebb and flow of political fortunes. Its a bit difficult to claim that Labour is anything other than finished the closer one gets to election day. A certain air of inevitability exists about the outcome.

Well done Colin! He stated the obvious “Labour started the Standard blog” in his most recent post. This prompted an immediate attack that day from Clinton Smith A.K.A: Steve Pierson in Colins comments section that they are entirely independent of Labour.
Vote:Poor fella‘s, it’s the story that just won’t go away no matter how they try to kill it. Perhaps if they focus less on being a partisan hate blog centered around John Key and DPF maybe their claims would be more believable.

Indeed Richard, every post over at the sub standard paints a hateful picture of John Key. The blame National card is so ho hum and boring, however it helps with Labours inevitable political annihilation in the election.

It certainly is a “story” that won’t got away…
On “hate” there must be more blogs run by political parties out there then we think!

“it’s the story that just won’t go away”
I think you will find Richard that, outside of the small world of NZ right-wing blogs, it’s the story that never arrived.

“A partisan hate blog”
I like it!!!
Are those the ones where commentators assume pen names like “Labour are Scum” and “labourmustbeliquidated” and the rest…?

Ooh! The blogging Left are so touchy about this little story. It’s a bit like a bunch of swimmers trapped in a pool desperately trying to pretend there isn’t a nasty yellow color to the water and they all know who did it. Oh well, whatever gets you through I guess.

oh, before I forget: Sonic, when Mike Williams was forced to comment on the story on the 6pm news I think you’ll find the story has arrived, gone through customs, immigration, caught the bus to the central city and checked into its hotel. Put its feet up and is now running itself a nice long bath and ordering room service. Which alternative universe are you posting from?????
