Not too far off the truth, the activists seem to want a leader who is as liberal-left as they are, but they should remember in NZ votes are in the centre.
Mitchell is absolutely right. Key is probably the best ever Prime Minister in his ability to pitch perfectly to his audiences. People respond positively to him because he speaks to them directly about things that matter to them. He is topical, self-deprecating, and explains difficult subjects in an easily understood manner which is appreciated by his audience. He is never condescending, which trips up other politicians from time to time. Nor does he put down, or scoff, at people who might disagree with him. I agree with Mitchell, we are lucky to have Key as Prime Minister.
I agree with Kiri. Key is a shyster and a snake-oil salesmen who pitches his sell perfectly to take in the gullible and the greedy. By his own admission, he's out there entertaining thousands of New Zealanders every week. Unfortunately, and Kiri will agree with me here, his recent slip-ups with he truth have left him looking like a con-man and that's unfortunate because it means his credibility has nowhere to go now but down.
Most of your posts are about David Shearer. David Shearer this, David Shearer that. Will Shearer do this, will he do that. Who supports David Shearer, who doesn't. Will David Shearer say this, will he say that..."Give us an 'a', give us a 'd', give us an 'n-a-u-s-e-u-m!" AD NAUSEUM!
This blog is a rightwing blog isn't it and you would expect posts about National, right? Wrong. There is hardly ever anything here about the National Party or the MPs in the Government and certainly little about John key. It is as though the blogger is embarrassed by the Government's performance or lack of it and of the behaviour and performance of John key. It didn't used to be like that here. There was post after post on "John" and his charisma. That seems to have gone. Now it is all about attacks on Shearer, Labour, the Greens and Winston. Nothing on Key and National. What does that tell you?
It tells me that regulars come here to read those stories and vent their fury at the host because of them. Two of them have been banned, but they still come in under cover. Not unlike the would-be bank robber wearing a balaclava, but with his shirt sleeves rolled up revealing his own name tattoo'd on his forearms. The rest of us find such naivity a little endearing, and the host soars up the blog popularity register.
Apparently Green blogs are obsessed with John Key, National, Hekia Parata, and john Banks, yet no one goes to those, according to the statistics. More like bogs than blogs, stagnant, slimy and fetid.
Then you should be thanking your trolls. What's in it for them though? Perhaps they enjoy having their comments seen on such a popular site? Who can say?
@7.3%, definitely an ego thing, trying to one-up the host. Failure just makes them angrier and more determined. They have to resort to the trivial to try and get a rise out of our genial host, so self defeating mostly.

Key, otoh, makes his up as he goes, depending on what he thinks his audience wants to hear.

Ahem; just in case you noticed, this post is about David Shearer...

What does that tell you?
7.3% unemployment. That 's what it tells me.
It tells me that you don't own the blog, KS does and he can post whatever he likes, the way I see it.
If you don't like the messages, shoot through, it is a choice we all have.
Sounds like a pure case of diddums to me from you Robby.

You'd have to be a fool to believe that. Here are the last 10 post-titles from Frogblog:

Obsessed with John Key, National, Hekia Parata, and john Banks, "E"?
Your are making stuff up, John Key style!
Wanna list the last 12 posts by Keeping Stock, "E"?
Didn't think so.

Apropro of nothing, I had a dose of campylobacter a few years ago. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, not that I actually have enenmies...
Neither enenmies nor enemas would I wish upon you, Mr Congeniality.
@ Fiddle DD - whoops! Fat Finger Syndrome strikes again!
