Colin sums up Labour’s attack
Colin Espiner sums things up nicely:
So not only is John Key responsible for the global meltdown of the world’s finance markets, the man is a would-be murderer who, if he’d had the chance, would have sent 60 young Kiwis to their deaths in the war in Iraq.
OK, I’m exaggerating Labour’s position slightly. But not by much.
Next they will allege John Key will lower wages. Oh wait already done that one. Hmm, how about that John Key will sell all the schools. Nah done that one also. How about John Key will close down the hospitals? Yeah that must be next.

Yep, so typical of the left and Klark in particular. (corrosive and cancerous)
Anything but compete in the field of ideas.
Anyone who does not conform to the compulsory socialist thought process must be demonised.

Just heard on the news that Labour already have a bonding policy in place.
They pay $3000 more if people move to Southland as an example.
My suggestion is they put a merry go round out side the Beehive as the amount
of spin (shit) that comes from them would be enough to power it for years and they can raise money
to make Helen’s teeth look like they do in her latest photo.

I think because we have got use to the lies and corruption of this Labour Government during the last 9 years
the mud that they attempt to throw at National has to be more and more dirty to gain everyone’s attention.
Remember that nasty little song by the Labour “women” at the Labour Conference -such an interesting insight into the politics of denigration.
I anticipate Michael Cullen in a thong, accusing John Key of acts of animal cruelty will be next.
Also You gotta love her saying the other day that she could not decide yet whether to sack Peters because she is not sitting on the Privileges Committee, and therefore not privy to all the information.
Has she just figured this out?
September 19th, 2008 at 9:16 am
And why is Key so silent on that day in Dallas on the grassy knoll and what was he up to in Sarajevo in 1914 hmm?
These are “serious questions” as Clark likes to murmer when he latest message has been delivered to the media by her flying monkeys.

John Key has been known to mix formula milk at home, and must have something to do with the latest, ‘China Syndrome’
He will certainly make all State Housing Clients homeless. As he will sell AIAL to those awful Canadians at a cheap price.
September 19th, 2008 at 9:38 am
Next they will allege John Key will lower wages.
Of course John Key and National won’t lower wages of the everyday Kiwi battler! Labour cost, however, is damaging businesses everywhere and lowering it will be a main focus of a National Government!
Hmm, how about that John Key will sell all the schools. Nah done that one also. How about John Key will close down the hospitals?
Don’t be ridiculous, if John Key did that how would Rodney Hide out-do him?

Ahhh Murray – Now you’re getting into the realm of John Keys many reincarnations.
I’m fairly sure Labour and minions are saving those explosive ‘facts’ till closer to the election.
I have it on good authority that one of the reincarnations was of a close relative of Genghis Khan, not Genghis himself you understand? That would be ridiculous.
Make you proud to be a Kiwi, don’t they?

“How about John Key will close down the hospitals? Yeah that must be next.”
DPF I think a more reasonable line is that “John Key will SELL the hospitals to his cronies at Merrill Lynch”. Bugger Merrill Lynch are in deep doggy doo doo, gonna be hard to get that one to fly. Wait,wait I’ve got it: “John Key plans to SELL a box of sticking plasters from the hospital stores to finance his eeeeeevil plot to nationalise the WWW.”

you can attempt to laugh it off..dpf..(cosby-textor advice on how to ‘handle’ this one..?)
..but the reality is that national were gagging to take us to war..
..remember simon ‘all the way with bush’ powers’ war-yearnings..?
..this isn’t being made-up..
..national are on the record as being vehemently in favour of joining in the iraq invasion..
..that is a fact..
..red-herring that to a debate on the number of body-bags..had that happened..is sorta obscene..
..who can forget the cries for memories of anzus/ww’s/etc..the calling of clark a coward..?
..for not heeding the dogs of war..
..and nobody has claimed key brought down merrill lynch..
..but pointing out that he..and his ilk..are who got us all into this mess..
..(especially when he wants to look after our money/nations’ wealth)..
..is both relevant..and a ‘worry’..
..and isn’t espiner part of our mainstream media ‘experts’..?
..and shouldn’t they just all shut the fuck up..?
..in/for shame in not warning us of this economic shit we are now in..?
..at whoar..and other online outlets..(not kiwiblog..sadly..given its’ ‘reach’..eh..?..dpf..?)
.warnings have been posted for the last two years..about what is coming down now..
..our mainstream media ‘experts’/pundits..either failed to see/heed them..(an abject failure on their part..in its’ own right..)..
..or they colluded in not passing them on to us..
..they have all been a total sucking failure..!

Funny how Policy.net so closely parallels the Labour government’s approach to free speech.-
“gd: now you know that is not the truth, your comment wasn’t deleted.”
Self serving nit picking crap- Look at these inserts into GD’s comments from a pompous officious power drunk small minded creep- (BTW GD, I dunno why you go there. Its a disgrace for a blog. Run by drooling thugs and ignoramuses who have as much idea of what blogging is as Chairman Mao had of Greek history.)

Since John Key is personally responsible for global finacial melt-down having worked at ML, on the same logic surely he must also be responsible for violence in South Auckland (having visited there), foreshore treaty claims (for owning a beach house), conning Cullen into paying too much for the train set (as a ML shareholder), theft of medals from Waiouru (didn’t he drive through there once), milk contamination in China (having met with Andrew Ferrier) etc.

Redbaiter as i said the Lefties live in a world not of debate but of deletion of anything that they dont agree with.
They lack the intellectual rigour to advance their case and the EFA is proof positive of that.
Note the implict support of their mates the Unions at the expense of any others.

I think you have misunderstood the definion of ‘ridicule, philu:

It is a little known fact that Key was the designer of the Titanic, apparently he was also the man who loaded the flight plan into the computer of the ill fated DC10 Erebus flight.

John Key was also seen leaving Cape Canaveral prior to the launch of Challenger, with an o-ring hanging out of his briefcase.

And the letters in NATIONAL MP JOHN KEY can be rearranged to spell KLEPTOMANIA JOHNNY. No wonder this election is about trust…

Does the ‘all the way with Bush’ line apply to Afghanistan as well when it comes to Green logic? Or is that somehow different to the deluded Greens now.

This “Grain of Salt” column was published in the Rotorua Daily Post on August 4:
National’s dastardly daffodil plot
As a political columnist I naturally possess an extensive network of spies. Last week they made some very interesting reports.
Agent 99 reports that soon National will release its long-awaited policy on cut flowers in hospitals.
The policy states that “every public hospital ward shall have fresh flowers at least once a week”. National’s cut flower spokesman, Simon Power, will say that “the presence of bright yellow daffodils in wards would brighten patients’ lives” and that “happy patients are more likely to become well quicker”.
Agent 86 reports that owing to a malfunction in the Cone of Silence this policy has been leaked.
It was first leaked to Nicky Hager, who, Agent 33 1/3 tells me, planned to use it in his new book, heavy metal single, and TV miniseries The Hollow Stem – the Heart of Darkness behind National’s Daffodils. However, Mr Hager had accidentally attached the policy in an email to Labour, instead of a report on damning evidence of food wastage gathered from examination of National MPs’ household garbage.
Because of this error, Labour has been able to prepare its response in advance.
Agent 666 says Health Minister David Cunliffe will be shocked at “the inhuman cruelty of National’s plan to push patients out the door and replace them with plants.
“Patients need drugs to relieve pain, not daffodils,” he will say. “But National has now admitted that it will slash funding to drug-buying agency Pharmac and give the money to its flower-growing farmer supporters instead.
“If you have cancer or the flu you should be very worried by this policy. National will turn you over to homoeopathists who think your breast cancer will be cured by the cosmic vibrations of flower power.”
Labour Minister Trevor Mallard will also denounce the policy: “What this does is implement John Key’s promise to privatise the health system. Public money will be spent on daffodils from the private sector. It’s the thin end of the wedge. Before you know it, our hospitals will be run by big American corporations, and health care will be reserved for the rich. Poor people will lose the right to public health care under this policy.”
Finance Minster Michael Cullen will say that John Key has lost all credibility: “There is no way that National can buy flowers while still giving New Zealanders huge tax cuts. It will mean massive public borrowing, and benefit cuts.”
Helen Clark will call a press conference to sneer at National – and especially at John Key on the basis that National did not have a policy on flowers in hospitals in 2005. Now they do, it just demonstrates that John Key is a flip flopper.
“National has once again shown they cannot be trusted,” she will say. “First they didn’t have a policy, now they do. He’s even changed his tie since last week! This makes the member the world’s biggest flip-flopper. He is not fit to be prime minister!”
Labour is planning to line up two dozen back benchers to chant “flower power flip flop, flower power flip flop, can’t trust Key” whenever Mr Key or Mr Power enters the House. Agent minus 1 reports they are already receiving (taxpayer-funded) singing lessons for this purpose.
Winston Peters will insinuate the existence of corrupt links between wealthy foreign flower growers and National Party policy, says Agent 007a. “When did they bank the cheque?” he will ask.
He will claim to have a suitcase full of emails that prove his allegations. If any media ask to see these he will say that the media are part of a vast conspiracy of vested interests that is out to get him, and that they can’t be trusted with them. He is not legally required to show them to anyone. He will then say that the allegations have been proven, and call on My Key to resign.
Agent (pi)r squared reports that union boss Andrew Little has been lined up to call the policy an attack on workers.
“Every point in this policy is an attack on current worker rights and every point would put downward pressure on wages,” he will argue.
Nurses Organisation spokesman Iain Lees-Galloway (Labour’s candidate for Palmerston North) will be outraged and disgusted by “National’s plan to sack hundreds of nurses” and replace them with poisonous plants.
“This is the blackest, most evil policy ever conceived in the history of New Zealand,” he will say.
And left-leaning bloggers are poised to unleash a torrent of attacks saying that “National’s policy to grow genetically engineered mutant killer daffodils will worsen global warming and cause millions to starve in Africa”. They will demand that John Key be imprisoned by the International Criminal Court on a charge of planning genocide.
Who would have thought daffodils could be so evil?
Now, I have to confess that sometimes my spies get things wrong. So I can’t be sure all this is true. But it will be interesting to find out.
