Fuck that. I’d Vote for a Jewish money trader as PM over clowns like that any day. At least I can rest safe in the knowledge money won’t be wasted or ‘lost’.

I managed to last 55 seconds.

Do I get a prize?

Cunners, the leader of men and wimin. pffft.

Its hardly surprising that even his own party hates the prick.

What absolutely flumoxes me is that they crap on like some pubescent student deadbeat, and then expect to be taken seriously. I mean, just how shameless can you be? I imagine he struts aroud his up-market neighbourhood thinking everyone thinks he’s wonderful.

I would like to say something deep and insightful. To add to the debate around this thread.
But listening to the first half (all I could endure) I must comment;

What a wanker

Remember when John Carter got into trouble pretending to be Hori from Northland? Cunliiffe sounded something similar, bro.

How funny that his private conversation with one demographic gets played for all others too really see what he’s like.

Good grief, I lived in London and saw absolute nutcases standing on street corners with microphones who spoke more sense then this fuckwit. If this is Labours future then they might as well give up getting into government for a long time.

This is the best advert I have seen for National. It should be compulsory viewing in every marginal electorate around the country.

FFS – bleating because the PM wears a blue suit? What a total sock puppet. Cunliffe is a total embarrassment. I suspect that even die hard Labour supporters will cringe when they see this….

Its evident that this once respected political party has become a political joke.

For thedavincvimode, ultra loyal Labour lite supporter: I must remind you of the strong possibility of ACT winning Epsom, in which case my party vote will not be wasted, but used to inject some spine in your party’s gelatinous skeleton. 🙂

Just to appease any disquiet in your otherwise placid partisan soul, I shall give my electorate vote to the National Party candidate, a decent and capable man.

“we don’t need to live in a mansion in East Auckland” says Cunliffe at 3mins to a crowd of West Aucklanders. Where did he go after the event I wonder. A large home in east Auckland perhaps?

A real Cunny bro

Goff has acquitted himself okay during this election campaign. In my opinion Cunliffe has been the biggest disappointment.

You can almost hear the silver spoon in his mouth clang against his teeth while he tries to rev up the crowd with his politics of envy.

The Harvard educated Mr Cunliffe must think people are really stupid if he thinks they’re believe any of that nonsense.

Let’s hope the next Labour leader, whomever he/she is, demotes the twat.

Steady on Manolo

A pathological hatred of the despicable lying fuckwit Goff and his cast of disgusting motherless low-life slimeballs who have oozed up from the most putrid sewers below the cellar of human life-forms makes me a pragmatic Labour liter; not an “ultra loyal” one. 🙂

Bevan

No. If he said that (I couldn’t stand any more of it) then his comments would have been directed at the 99%. 😉

I listened to the whole thing… now I feel rather dirty and slightly ill.

I can’t even summon the right words to describe what a odious, lying, condescending, blackmailing, repugnant, twerp that Cunliffe is.

He was effectively taking advantage of the voters of (i assume?) south Auckland. I hope he gets vilified as bigoted little creep

Did he mention Goff even once? Must have missed it. I think he will roll Goff and, unlike many of you, I think his speech was probably very effective. Some voters are that stupid.

With the new electoral laws, one would think there would be a law against such blatant lying. I dont know that I want one, but for goodness sake – this should be on the front page of tomorrows herald – “Cunliffe lies to the public in Avondale”.

In the same way that any right leaning person who says anything about Obama is accused of talking code for “Git the uppity nigger”, I am pretty sure “greasy man in a blue suit” is Labour code for “Jewish Shylock”. 🙂

Hm, at about the 4:40 mark he basicially says National is racist.

Just thought I’d point that out for the sake of those who didn’t manage to get all the way 🙂

Put it away

Was surprised at his fake maori accent, if you try the “own our future” vid that comes up in the links at the very end of this one, there’s not a trace of “cuzzie” as he attempts to explain the economics of debt. Bit of an assumption there that no bros will be watching an economics vid, eh? Isn’t there a word for that…

We sure that it is Cunliffe. The style of predicting doom, insulting his opponents, making himself the only true way, and the outrageous statements made me think it was Bishop Brian Tamaki.

As a side issue…I hope Colin James, seen in the early stages of this video enjoying himself is questioned on this sundays NATION regarding his involvement and his impression of the rant. Would be interesting viewing.

“How funny that his private conversation with one demographic gets played for all others too really see what he’s like.”

One of the most interesting developments this election has been how changes in the media (cellphone camera’s, facebook etc) have revealed this hypocrisy. Reminds me of the nasty, bitter partisan slagging off of a certain butcher and philanthropist.

Nasty, nasty ,nasty…
