I think perhaps it’s really about “us”

I feel a sudden need to purchase some red markers

Someone should do another one with the airbrushed face and a mop of hair – and call lit “This election is about TRUSS”. We could have a series….

Let’s just be thankful it’s not about thrust

I wouldn’t want to see that on any billboard

Interesting to see Helen adopt a whiter-than-white ensemble, with a delicate single, rare Perl necklace

It’s designed to coo “I’m pure, trustworthy, honest …”

Cue Tui

Helen & Pearl Necklace… that’s an image I would never like to see.

Its a demonstration of Labour’s innate and cynical disregard for the citizenry that they would decide to make this election about trust and then promote such a great lie as the photo of Helen Klark that makes her look like a model, when she’s in real life, (with teeth that remind you of a derelict graveyard) possessed of an overall appearance that puts one in mind of a watchtower guard at a Siberian gulag.

I don’t think they intended it that way, but the photo does actually do a pretty good job of highlighting the deceit that underpins Labour’s intellectualist ideology- charlatan power obsessed propagandists selling hope and Nirvana but in the reality bringing desolation and despair.

A sharp-eyed woman tells me she suspects H1 is wearing a wig in her advertising pics and for her TV interviews.
What do you think folks?

It’s easy to see why the government has exempted itself from the effects of the Fair Trading Act and Consumer Guarantees legislation.

The product delivered looks nothing like the one advertised.

I’ve tried my hand at a couple of National billboards. And what about the two new Green Party Candidates? Impressive: Election Billboards

democracymum, that would be a perfect piss-take, just have some graffiti-style spray paint crossing out the two “t” and “r” in trust.

OH MY GOD! Has anyone see Labour’s website lately? On the HOMEPAGE is this whopper!

Tax cuts strengthen economy and promote fairness

Michael Cullen

01.10.2008

Tax cuts today will offer much needed relief for hard working families trying to deal with ever increasing price rises.

How can this possibly be reconciled with “My view is that tax cuts are largely offered as a political bribe, not because of beneficial economic or social effects.” How can you trust someone who flip flops so readily?

The economy is certainly rusted up. Do New Zealanders even care or are they just waiting for the next Welfare cheque?
