It never ceases to amaze me the straight out stupidity of the Republican party. I believe that only half is the blatant financial corruption that runs thick through their midst and the other half is straight out stupidity. They truly believe half of the rubbish that they spout. One of their strong points is messaging and this is where they scare me and should worry other New Zealanders, This is the aid that the govt here gets from them. As their policies are largely disproved and they have nothing new to offer the voting public they have developed exceptional marketing of their otherwise unelectable policies. National has basically repackaged trickle down too sound like a great idea and sound economic policy although the only effect is further concentration of the nations wealth in the hands of a few well connected people and their family and friends. The nepotism in this current govt is surely at an all time high possibly a new record of corruption?
