DPF’s blog polls with my responses

 

DPF has done a nice summary of his recent blog polls. 

I voted in a few of the polls, but you tend to miss the polls if you’re reading posts via RSS or neglect to see them in the side bar. 

How I voted, or would’ve voted is showed in red.

 

  1. The 2009 budget had 51% rate it good or very good, 33% poor or very poor and 16% neutral. Very good.
  2. On the possibility of tax cuts going, 37% said they would only be slightly upset as the recession has forced it, 20% said they would be very pissed, 18% totally furious, 17% only reasonably pissed if postponed only and 8% hate tax cuts so glad they were cancelled. Slightly upset.
  3. 58% approved of Christine Rankin’s appointment and 42% did not. I approve.
  4. 76% disapproved of the appointment of Michael Cullen to the NZ Post Board.  I disapprove.
  5. 47% said National should postpone future tax cuts.  Support postponing.
  6. 60% think possession of cannabis for personal use should be a criminal offence. I think it shouldn’t be a criminal offence though I’ve never done the stuff myself.
  7. 90% backed the restoration of titular honours.  Support!.
  8. 57% supported sinking the Sea Shepherd over the Japanese Whalers.  Support.
  9. Least desired city to be forced to live in was Wanganui at 44%, Palm Nth 32%, Hamilton 16%, New Plymouth 9%.  Probably Palm Nth. 
  10. 54% have downloaded a TV show not yet available in NZ.  Not guilty. 
  11. 76% blamed Hamas for the deaths in Gaza.  Yeah, Hama’s mostly at fault.
  12. 38% said 2009 will be better than 2008, 28% said it will not be and 34% said it will be only if we get the chance to boot Winston out again. 38% category – I’m loving politics without Helen and Michael. 
  13. 51% said they would rather go without the Internet for a fortnight and 49% would rather go without sex. Heh, beggars can’t be choosers. 
  14. 71% supported the use of urgency to pass laws before Xmas. Support.
  15. 11% are missing Winston.  I DON’T miss Winston.  I only wish Jim Friggin Anderton joined him.
  16. Only 46% think Goff will lead Labour into the 2011 election.  I think Goff will lead Labour into the next election.
  17. 75% had a favourable impression of the new Ministry.  Favorable! John Key is the Helen slayer.
  18. 38% said the best part of election night was a clear National/Act majority, 27% Winston losing, 23% Helen resigning, 11% did not enjoy it and 3% the electorates National won.  Probably Helen resigning.  I’m only guilty of personality politics to an extent as there’s much evidence indicating Helen’s corruption. 
  19. 57% said they were voting National, 26% ACT, 7% Labour, 5% Greens.  National! Yeah!
  20. 48% have voted for Labour at a previous election.  Nah.. but don’t preclude the possibility in the future. 
  21. 47% supported extending the retail bank guarantee to wholesale borrowing, 30% did not and 23% said follow the experts.  Following the experts – Especially if one of the experts is the former reserve bank governor who’s last name begins with B.

 

As for David Bain – all I can say is that I’m glad I wasn’t on the jury.  I change my mind depending on what I read.  It’s an interest case because it can be approached from so many different angles. 

One thing is for sure, the police stuff up the investigation.

Buying [url=http://www.thomassabosaleukshop.co.uk]thoams sabo sale[/url] on the internet can conserve you from the hassle of leaving your property for a standard shopping spree. You will find two ways to shop online: by way of a store's official [url=http://www.monclersale4uk.com]moncler jackets uk[/url] or via an online auction web site. Buying at a website offers you a larger selection of types and sizes than the shop. For instance, the turtleneck that you simply need to have in a size five is extra likely to be in stock at the on the web store than at a frequent boutique store. You may shop anytime which makes it advantageous for those that have a busy schedule. You also save up on fuel and dollars, since you usually do not need to commit funds on gas or fare.

The mark-up on diamonds is to become expected if you take into consideration the fact that dealers must cover their personal costs although also producing a profit. They have to deal with many distinctive expenses and these end up coming out of your pocket at the end in the day. For this reason alone [url=http://www.thomasfashionshop.com]thomas sabo[/url] makes sense to do your shopping on-line any time you are looking for superior quality engagement rings at a fantastic value.

On the net [url=http://www.topclarisonicmiasale.com]clarisonic mia sale[/url] do not have these expenses to feel about. The savings they enjoy can then be passed on to their customers. Whenever you buy your diamond rings online, you can expect to appreciate savings of up to 20%, which is considerable.

[url=http://www.uggbootssaleonlineshop.com]ugg sale uk[/url] Assuming you have got decided to buy a ring, your next step is to decide how a great deal you will be prepared to devote. It is always a great idea to stop by some local outlets to view how a great deal they charge for the type of ring you wish to get. This will enable you to make comparisons if you turn your attention to on the internet retailers.
