I would give my vote to the guy who says i woudl liek to do x y & z but cant afford to rather than the guy who tries to pretend he has done everythign he promised and hides his mistakes with soin or buries them when the media talk about disasters or him leaving or the stuff they all do to get away with making a complete cockup of everything. I wanna start the campaing for politicians who only tell the truth, I want Brown or Cameron to be lke Jim carrey in that film where he couldnt lie, i want a perfecvt world!!!!!<BR/><BR/>But i dont think you can compare a politician to a brand, we dont think of them the same, they dont do the same things, play the same role in society, so what brands can lie but their products that i buy satisfy me, the politicians i vote for dont - they pretend toAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097271519551916936.post-30491730008680058692007-05-18T10:41:00.000+01:002007-05-18T10:41:00.000+01:00convince me sidwhat honest brands do you buy becau...convince me sid<BR/><BR/>what honest brands do you buy because they are just that??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097271519551916936.post-81367349064892724752007-05-18T10:20:00.000+01:002007-05-18T10:20:00.000+01:00if he said that i'd vote for him, better than the ...if he said that i'd vote for him, better than the usual old bollocks - i do want an honest politicianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097271519551916936.post-77443020351311124892007-05-18T10:13:00.000+01:002007-05-18T10:13:00.000+01:00Its easy to blame the politician here and add this...Its easy to blame the politician here and add this to the many reasons to be cynical of them.<BR/><BR/>But we should take some responsibility too. Imagine Gordon Brown had said something like "At f******g last, right now give me the kesy and let me loose. As a total and utter workaholic you can be sure I will be focussed night and day. And give there is an election in a few years time and my poll rating is not grat, you can be sure I will try to do stuff that generally pleases you the voters. But remember too, ruling a country is not easy, so like the reat of you, I'll make mistakes and pee you off now and again"<BR/><BR/>The media would crucify him and we would go along with their spin on such an event. <BR/><BR/>We don't want honest politicians either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097271519551916936.post-8148757466190531902007-05-17T23:57:00.000+01:002007-05-17T23:57:00.000+01:00wheres ur right hand Gordo u old pervwheres ur right hand Gordo u old pervAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097271519551916936.post-70501500636499208432007-05-17T20:43:00.000+01:002007-05-17T20:43:00.000+01:00i was thinking Michael Jacksoni was thinking Michael JacksonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097271519551916936.post-48188035918837887192007-05-17T19:08:00.000+01:002007-05-17T19:08:00.000+01:00wots the pic say, shepherd, man for all children,c...wots the pic say, shepherd, man for all children,chief paedo???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097271519551916936.post-72174016995893106222007-05-17T19:04:00.000+01:002007-05-17T19:04:00.000+01:00Hi again Heather, or inspired (sort of) from all t...Hi again Heather, or inspired (sort of) from all the previous speeches. I suppose to be fair to deviate from acting humble, and notto focus on the priorities of the voters and media would be foolhardy but I wonder if someone did a study of leader's acceptance speeches if these features would show in them all.<BR/><BR/>These are not from the pledge card, that included the wonderful 'your family better off' promise; google them, they're not the Conservative five core themes are they? No checked, they're not - they do seem really familiar! Cheers, good luck with the last examDarren G.
