Please, please let it be Cunliffe

by Whaleoil on November 30, 2011

Some in the media are talking up David Cunliffe. He is described as charismatic:

A leading political commentator says Labour leadership candidate David Cunliffe is the most appealing candidate “amongst the public”, and the party would be better off moving away from “Phil Goff clones”.

Political commentator Bryce Edwards told TV3′s Firstline today that Mr Cunliffe would be a better public choice.

“Amongst the public he’s the most appealing. He’s kind of charismatic – I think he’s quite a competent leader.”

Yep he is, and here is a good example of his charisma at work. I can’t wait watching him trying to “stop the greasy little fulla in the blue suit”.

I note too that Cunliffe says he is friends with Mana. Phil Goff of course ruled out working with Hone Harawira.

He will stop the “rich fullas, the millionaires, the bankers, that give them lots of money” from getting their “free ride”. Yep please let it be David Cunliffe leading Labour.

    He forgot to add “rich lawyers” to his hate list. Funny that, but then that’s the revenue stream that allows him to indulge in politics & live in an elite suburb.

    Has the word “charismatic” changed since last I checked? The man is an utter dullard, as Goff showed us droning voices don’t win elections.

    If it turns out that he was drunk at the time will he be let off the hook for this one?

    Are you going to leak the ex-All Black child abuser’s name, or are you just bitching about labour full time now? You know you won, right?

      I wouldnt want to be the one to leak his name – i think Cam was a hero frankly for having the courage to do what he did – i may not agree with much that he says and does – but it takes guts to do what he did on those previous occasions.  Still and all – the guy needs t be named.  Too many of these new aristocrats escape scrutiny.

      As to bitching about Labour and the win – its a winners prerogative to sledge in retrospect – kicking your opponent when down is part of the landscape and no one executes it quite like Cam – i suspect if Phil Goff was lying on the street on fire – Cam possibly wouldnt even piss on him to put it out.  As to winning and victory … i am reminded of the term “pyrrhic victory”

      But theres so much to bitch about. Liarbors a triple train wreck.Its funny.Thats right..we won. Suck it up mo/fo.

      • diabolos

        Theres a lot of references to sucking things up going on … if you want to bitch about winning go ahead mate.   Seems a funny thing to do though.

        Just lie back, think of england and enjoy your win.

        Its the least you can do for the cause …

      Are you prepared to pay for my court costs, my legal fees and my fine, and really are you prepared to sit in  cell for 30 days for contempt of court.

      I am but on my time and my dime. If you feel so inclined to do all of the above then i will send my bank account details to you so you can deposit the $10k. then I will name the ex-All Black.

      If you aren’t prepared to do that then you are just as much a coward as the punchy fuckwit who smacked his kid up.

    If Labour wants to “reconnect with the people”, they have precious few possible leaders with which to do it.
    In fact, they have none, as far as I can see.  Cunners certainly won’t do it.  

    • diabolos

      I actually think you are right thor – about Cunliffe and that apart from Phil Goff – they have no one that will connect.  

  • Gazzaw

    There’s no doubt that Shearer has the ability to connect & that he is very personable.

    My big concern is his UN connection. Shearer worked for the UN for 14 years and was favoured by Ban Ki Moon, the very same network that appointed Clark & now Carter. I am not comfortable about any links with the two Helens – it would be disastrous if he became PM. 

    Anyone who doubts the links then ask why Shearer inherited Mt Albert from Helen and why this late run at the leadership. Its all pre-ordained.

      You are on to it.  Heather and her “very close” girlfriend ruled the roost collectively for 9 years whislt embarking on the social engineering programme of “we know best”.  Conspiracy theory? No, not really.  If you follow what happened over the 9 years and talked to the internal staff about Heather and Helen you would know really how things happened and who was the chief bitch.  String pulling from New York has been occuring for the last 3 years and Shearer was and still is an info addressee.

    How do people think that the Duck would go as leader? 
    ( I know he’s unlikely to be picked. )
    He surely couldn’t go any worse than Goff, but I don’t know how much better he’d be.

    I thought Cunliffe was what Cullen called – a “Rick Prick”. He is not a poor socialist, nor ever has been. Look carefully outside his political environment.
