Why calling John Key a liar doesn’t work

by Whaleoil on November 5, 2011

Again it is up to Paul Holmes to explain:

Sometimes, it’s all in the little things. Goff might have apparently struck a blow by calling Key a liar.

But we all know all politicians tell the odd fib or withhold information, and we all know they have to make the decisions demanded when circumstances change.

For example, the GST.

But Key is still able to project the image of an honest, ordinary guy. And I think that is still what the market wants. I seem to remember that at one point he stood there with one hand in a trouser pocket, projecting a man at ease in his job.

And when called a liar, his reply that he would not call Goff a liar because he had too much respect for the office of leader of the Opposition was simply dignified.

    Yep, well summed up…. Key is a lot of things, but I have not seen him pull out the total nastiness that we see from the Pinko’s on a daily basis of late….

      The cracks are starting to show and I think deep down you know it. He’ll get 3 more years, but just look into his eyes when someone asks him the hard questions. They are empty, scared. And in 3 years plus he will be seen by everyone as the lightweight he is. Go on, admit it.

    I imagine that when the comment was made back in 2008, there was not an intention of changing GST from 12.5 to 15. Events overtook NZ and forced a change. Most likely a teeth grit moment knowing it needed to be done sooner than later.

      So so true, yet that simple fact is one that the Pinko’s cannot understand nor except…

      We need to re learn that the Left don’t ever ever ever ever ever lie….

        Of course they do, but not as often as Key, he is the ‘whatever’ man, a serial liar. You can say events have taken us over to cover any lie you want to, what a ludicrous argument? Really?

          Sounds like you have an Excel spreadsheet covering the lie count of Labour vrs. National…..

          So tell me, if Key is a serial liar, what do you define Goff as????

    And in the same Herald publication, John Roughan also summed it up”When Phil Goff called John Key a liar on television the election was over for
    me. Goff has no class. The more difficult decision on election day could be the
    referendum. Should we keep MMP?”

    So no doubt the left-wing nut jobs will go berserk over the so called ‘right wing bias’ in the MSM. For the UMPTEENTH time. Blah!

      “Should we keep MMP” is not a difficult decision. Just take a look at the shambles that it has caused since it was “voted in” by the majority who just didn’t understand the implications thru no fault of their own. I cannot imagine anyone wanting the process to allow a single person the opportunity to decide who or which party gets to be the Govt, least of all if that person came to be there from a “list”. MMP is nothing but a COS. No doubt the minor/fringe/great unwashed parties will cry about their rights etc etc. Tough, get over it and get a job.

        And BTW, I include the Labour party in that group.
