“Half of the world outside the US is spewing hate (or at least ridicule) against/toward Palin.”

I seriously doubt “half”. But certainly a lot of Marxists, lefties, and Muslims are. I don’t take such people seriously.

“Everyone has the right to spew on a politician. Especially right wing US politicians.”

Not while your own country is run by a corrupt and criminal regime.

“We’re all going to be paying for their blunders.”

No your going to be paying for Helen and Cullen’s blunders.

“You certainly are one angry Christian.”

Righteous anger? Hell yes! Perhaps you just not used to someone who stands up for themselves and does not roll over when ignorant anti-American/Republican propaganda is trotted out by people trying to divert attention from the crimes of the Clark regime.

IRD have to take a serious look at their online services

Wreck1080 – agreed. In the probably knowledge that they won’t I’d suggest that you file your return earlier and pre-schedule any payment via on-line banking. I’ve had a run-in with IRD after doing this from overseas at the 11th hour and it’s painful.

“National leader John Key is sticking by his decision to rule out New Zealand First from any National-led government, despite a new poll showing over a quarter of National voters want him to rethink his stance.”

Despite? It’s hardly an overwhelming fecking majority!

If any party brings in a policy banning polytechnics from running journalism courses, they will get my vote.

Half of the world outside the US is spewing hate (or at least ridicule) against/toward Palin. Everyone has the right to spew on a politician. Especially right wing US politicians. We’re all going to be paying for their blunders.

You certainly are one angry Christian.

Fair enough. But I don’t care.

I pay taxes, and I believe in taxpayers rights. Moreover, I have lived here, paid taxes here, and contributed to my community for nearly thirty years. Every morning, five days a week I get up an hour earlier than I need to to go to my church to help make lunches for the kids (mostly Maori) who turn up to school hungry. I contribute, I pay taxes and that along with the current NZ law, gives me the right.

You don’t like the law? Get it changed. You don’t like the US law? Move there and pay taxes. Until then stop questioning my legal rights.

I feel I have earned my right to have a say. Your entitled to your view on the issue, but constantly bringing it up on threads that are completely unrelated to that issue merely to attack me is bullshit.

Plus, I get back to the issue that you feel you have the right to spew hate against Sarah Palin when you do not contribute ANYTHING to the USA.

This is one issue where I believe NZ is too liberal.

Grumpy, you wanna debate the issues fine. You wanna question my right to vote, come and see me in person.

IRD have to take a serious look at their online services if they expect people to use them. What have they been spending their money on?

Nope. I have lived here since the 1970′s.

“Now kiwis paying taxes in the US do not get the right to vote, why should you get the right to interfere in our elections ?”

When in Rome I ha[ppen to believe that all taxpayers should have the right to vote. But you have once again proved yourself a coward and failed to answer my question. What gives YOU the right to spew hate at Sarah Palin when you do not even have the decency to move there and pay tax???

Pathetic hypocrite.

“They say South Dakota is a great state for returning yanks, it would also raise the IQ level of both South Dakota and NZ when you go back.”

Ah yes, when you have no brain, and no intelligent argument to make, resort to schoolyard level abuse!!!

Unlike you hori, I take my right to vote seriously. I will not be wasting it on a party that has no chance of getting into power, while sitting on my hori ass and spewing abuse at anyone who does.

The moral reason I should be allowed to vote is because lazy, self-centred armchair whiners like you hate your country so much your throwing a proxy vote to Labour!

Here’s the thing with MMP: The most votes governs. It’s not all about National vs Labour any more. Perhaps this isn’t the way democracy is supposed to be, in your mind?

Cuzzy bro, oh please, you will be trying to rant that you rant on the marae
next.

Because that part of your statement was dishonest political spin.

And there was nothing “mandated” about it. Most kiwis at the last election did not vote for Labour.

if you feel free to attack Sarah Palin and comment about US politics why don’t you follow your own rules. Move there and pay taxes!!!

I at least pay taxes here.

But of course everyone here knows your a hypocritical coward spouting conveniant double standards.

When you gonna come out of the closet and reveal that your really voting Labour?

Yup! And “trust me” Hulun FAILED TO TELL ANYONE.

Oops!

Seems to me they were voted in to govern until the next election, and that’s what they’ve tried to do. If you want to maintain somehow that Clark is into power for powers’ sake, you might have to sell me that idea…

Power for powers sake. Bugger the good of the country eh???
