Roger Douglas could also show John Key a trick or two regarding WFF. Not sure how happy “Labour Plus” voters would be mind.

“ahh..!!..ron mark..!

..the mp most likely to be a reptile-shapeshifter..

..his fey/foppish/pretentious ways..

..his very very high degree of self-regard..

..the way he leans into camera..

..invariably smirking in delight at himself..”

And if we were to put up a challenge of “Philu” versus Ron Mark around a Commando training assault course, I know who MY money would be on………..

and Vinick agree absolutely I cannot see what Winston will ever do for National now. He’s damaged goods and they need to completely exorcise the rabid frothmonger and mirror worshipper that he is.

As for Ron Mark – he looks and acts like a rodent!!

..did i mention he loves himself just a bit too much..?

(and for what reason..?..

yahafta ask..

yes..make him leader of new zealand first..!

..that’d be ‘brilliant!’..

there is no ‘deeper tactical cunning’..eh..? what you see..is what you get..

Much as it may surprise the both of us, I’m in complete agreement. Unless I’m missing something I can imagine no tactical reason (other than being willing to approach him on bended knee post-election if he scrapes over 5%) why Key would not be turning both barrels on Winston. Expediency and the pursuit of power at any price does seem to be driving National.

LC says:

There’s only one NZ First MP that stands out and thats Ron Marks.

Excuse me?! You think this man “stands out” in some way? If you mean by being a hypocrite and a coward along with the myriad of adjectives one could apply to his leader and the rest of the goon squad, you’re right. Otherwise, I’d be interested to know just what your standards are for those in public life?

Liugi escapes justice yet again

As Dr Phil would say, hows that working out for you?

If you commies don’t stop flooging that dead horse we’re going to think you’re all sadomasochistic necrophiliacs. Stupid ones.

By the way my Mother in Tauranga was/is a Winston voter (twice she’s voted for him)- she’s really dissapointed with what’s hapenning and now states that she doesn’t trust him. So if Winnie stands in Tauranga he should be prepared for a large hiding as the grey hair brigade swing away from him. Oh and she said that the new National candidate (don’t know his name) replacing Bob looks cute – so it may be a beauty contest after all!

Any ground gained by ACT at the expense of anyone, is going to be good for the country. I hope John Key’s hesitation over attacking Winnie, is based on deeper tactical cunning rather than the expedience that it might look like at first sight…”

‘hope’ springs eternal..there..

eh phil-the-inferior..?

and..um..!..there is no ‘deeper tactical cunning’..eh..?

what you see..is what you get..

and after your upcoming poll-wallop..

..’hope’ could be all you have left..

..eh.?

“..feel the burn..!..”

Power over principle.

Is only attraction remains that he isn’t Helen Clark. While considerable it isn’t a good reason to vote for him. Just another one to vate against Clark.

Kind of disregards the complicity of the government and the opposition.

Perhaps the caveat [who, with the tacit allowance by the the present coalition, and her majesty's opposition, is]
Because, goodgod, regardless of the merits of peter’s case, no one appears willing to actually get to the truth, because they fear it may harm them. Therefore, they are all guilty to some degree, for this fiasco.

I’m curious as to whether there is truely any illegality and involving the SFO will also expose the weak arguments of the media so far. As well as that, if there is found to be illegal behaviour the way is open for similar investigations of all political parties and a final condemnation of the EFA that was constructed (at least in word, if not intent) to stop these kind of things.

Everyone stands to lose if this investigation goes ahead, even Rodney, which highlights it as a possibly worthwhile undertaking.
