I know posts about Sarah usually go under Senatorials 2008, but Stuart's post is too important to push down the list ... I'd much rather his post stays on the home page !
However, I just wanted to share this little beauty !
My husband took our 7-year-old to town to get some football gear, but decided to quickly look in at the town hall to see how things were going. My husband started chatting away with some of the candidates, so my son decided he'd give Monty a hand handing out some leaflets. He "took charge" of some of the GST leaflets ("those candidates voted FOR GST"). He is only 7, but a smart cookie and of course, he hears my husband and me talk politics so ... (He knows the names Frank Walker and Terry Le Sueur, and thinks they are even more evil than Darth Vader and the Daleks - though come to think of it, Terry sometimes sounds like one, doesn't he? (One of my son's, not mine !
)
He may be standing for the Elections 2023 !
)
Anyway, at some point he kindly asks this lady if she wants to have one of the leaflets, only to be told : "No thank you, my name is on that leaflet !"
Just shows, Sarah, that we can't have spoken of you THAT badly yet in our house !
Don't get me wrong, though ; Sarah will NOT be getting my vote. I have NOT seen any hard work from her, and if she did backstage, i wonder why it remained backstage. I agree with some of the generalities she brings (of course, States expenditure needs to be much more effective), but do not really get any idea of what she proposes to change things. I also do not like the way she has voted the past three years. I would have liked to vote a woman into the States, but it won't be Sarah for me. Yes, more women in the States, who am I to disgree ?
But I'd rather vote for a man who I think would do a good job than for a woman who cannot convince me that she would.
