Who is Trevor talking about?
September 1st, 2008 at 3:00 pm by David FarrarWho is Trevor Loudon talking about?
He is regarded as a political maverick, who in the past has challenged his own party’s leadership.
He hales from the southern part of his country, an area known for its hot dry winds and often arid parched soils. Its people are tough but very laid back.
He has been embroiled in a do or die battle with another politician that has held the country’s interest like no other political event in decades.
His opponent is a lawyer turned politician, a “man of color” as the Americans say. His opponent is telegenic, charming, charismatic and known for his oratory. …
Recently he confirmed his electoral 2IC.
She is a 44 year old, gun-toting super mother of 5. She is attractive, dedicated, intelligent and youthful. She is known as a strong campaigner against government waste and is a committed supporter of her country’s Armed Forces.
Click on the link above to see who he is referring to. Quite smart.

Very clever.
Vote:Politics – the more it changes the more it stays the same, regardless of time or place.

While ROdney has never been shot down in time of war and made to suffer torture, I know that had he been of age to serve during Vietnam, he would have been in the frontline of the war against conmmunism just like McCain was

This is a very appropriate illustration of why the USA is a great country and NZ is a busted arse country. Anyone with the ability and the principles of free-market, conservative politicians who make it to the top in the USA, will barely subsist on the margins in NZ, while success at the top levels other than on the part of the left wing itself will only come to those who sell out in favour of most of the left wing’s main planks. We might like to kid ourselves about our “humanistic and intellectual superiority” to self-centered, loudmouthed, materialistic Yanks, but we are kidding ourselves. We are the dumb-arses who get sucked in by politicians with economic policies that are like trying to levitate by standing in a bucket pulling upwards on the handle. If they vote for Obama this time round, they are on the slippery slope to joining us. But I don’t think so. In spite of the media hype, there are still just too many too darn astute Yanks to vote in a big-tax, big-government, nanny-stater. They may not know much about the rest of the world, but they have enough idea why it is stuffed, not to go there.

And both will be winners on the day and defeat their opponents.
On a related matter
Will Owen Glen reveal that a person close to the Labour Party asked him to stump up $250K as a donation to the Maori Party in return for its underraking to support Labour after the 05 elections.
And will Glen reveal the identity of that person and that they committed an Offence under the Crimes Act of bribery and corruption and will that person then name other persons who conspired with them and will all of them face a period of porridge.
All will be revealed in the fullness of time as the Bishop said to the Actress

Richard Worth is a lawyer turned politician, but the rest is somewhat OTT

Makes more sense than Key comparing himself to Obama…

Yes, very good from Trevor.
It’s such a pity that National can’t “gift” about 5% of their party vote to ACT. Lord knows we could do with a few more Rodney Hide’s in our Parliament. Sadly the man can’t do everything, and it’s sad there is so much dead-wood in the National caucus (and Labour caucus for that matter!) when those seats could be going to more active people.
