Belly:"Others, well except antiseptic, leave me alone after I say I wish not to reply, "

Which usually means "I don't like what I'm reading so I'll put my hands over my eyes and go "lalalala, I can't see you"".

Ostrichism is never admirable, Belly.

Ah Belly, Belly, Belly

These lies you always talk about what are they.

Your bark is just as bad as your bite.

Nothing to worry about there.

I will have to create another post going through what belly calls lies and i will add links and then those can make their decision on why i have no respect for political parties.

And Combet, where is he hiding, why is it he does not reply to corrospondence or since he is a stooge of labor he does as he is told.

We have had some good posts with humour which is good, but which also makes the point of the obedience required by these parties.

All it takes is one person to say enough is enough.

Dear Mr Tapp,

Criticism is easy - anyone can do that.
It doesn't take much effort.

However, offering solutions, and especialy - what you
would do as an Independent candidate who intends
to run for office is more difficult.

You start threads - attacking the Labor Party -
but what are you offering to fix things.
What policies do you have?

It isn't enough for a political candidate to
"call a spade a spade," as you put it.
That's not going to attract votes for you - if
that's your intention in coming onto this Forum.

And neither will condemnation of things - unless
you offer some solutions.

You can't keep on doing what you're doing and expect
different results - and obviously you haven't been
very successful in your strategy to date.

You need to re-think your tactics and approach - otherwise
you're simply wasting your time and money.

One my find things strange, but here in the Hunter we have the Newcastle Herald.

This is of course a newspaper but do you think it provides the complete news , my answer is no as i have to search for the complete news.
This is labor territory and the newspaper is classed as the labor daily.

Policies and this is a subject which i have discussed with people.

I am here to represent you not the other way around.
So foxy what are your policies.
Now i could tell you what i believe but that is not the point as it you who should be represented, and not you representing a party hack, who then represents a party.

I dont need to re think my tactics as i have been posting for a while now and i have seen what goes on.

If i do not like something or believe something is wrong i will say so, so for those here what are your policies and do you want somebody to give you lip service like you get or someone who will fight.

Think of it this way,
One would hope that if you were to run for your community you would stand up for them, that is what i expect.

Dear Mr Tapp,

I'm not running for any office.

You are.

And you have not given me a satisfactory reply as
to why anyone should vote for you.

As I said - criticism is easy - People don't need
someone to speak on their behalf - they need someone
who has policies or a plan that will fix things - or certainly
improve what's currently on offer - if you can't offer
solutions and can only point out what's wrong - you're
in the wrong business.

You can't keep clinging defensively to that tired
argument that "I will point out what's wrong, and speak
on your behalf!" How do I know you're qaulified to do
that? You haven't given one good reason why anyone
in their right mind should support you.

Mouthing the same words is getting a bit silly!

These people are there to represent us but if you prefer what to be told instead of thinking then vote for the political parties.

These are there for those who are to lazy to stand up for themselves.
So since government is about the people the people should have a say, we pay their wages so they work for us.

Now foxy

what are your policies.

Or is it just easier to stick you head in the sand like belly does and say yes master i will do as you say.
