    Excellent. why? What is excellent about FF? They have destroyed our country.

    Nothing excellent about FF at all. Shower of krooks.

    Not supporting Fianna Fail. Just saying that this debate is going on a roll and getting movement.

    'Excellent'. I can see how you can ascertain my political orientation from that statement.

    Its bs. Nobody has time for proper comebacks. Its like a debate on speed! The only people that are been given time are from the audience talking sh'ite.

    More human interest bull****...no place wasting time on a debate


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 761 ✭✭✭dedon


    On to the GAA clubs. Dear god. Surely more to living in the country than that.

    Martin is struggling big time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,721 ✭✭✭Balmed Out


    i think they want to take the money from FTB's (via cuts or taxes) to help those in mortgage arrears.

    Oh for f**k sake I didnt know that. Have always voted fg. Will never vote sf. No respect for ff less for labour. My choice of who to vote for is defniately changed if this is true. I save for years decided in 04 house prices were stupidly high and sat on savings. Am i going to be punished for not being an idiot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,517 ✭✭✭axer


    IS that not the same as the first question. What a stupid f'in debate!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,911 ✭✭✭bradlente


    Gilmore's the only one up there that can express disgust at the bailout the rest of them voted for it,its funny hearin Enda call it dispicable when they voted for it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,374 ✭✭✭InReality


    4 of them wearing the same dark suit, blue shirt and red tie...


    classic "power suit" as recommended by all spin doctors. sad really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 179 ✭✭rainyrun


    this is groundhog day here!!:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,329 ✭✭✭✭namloc1980


    Whenever Gilmore starts talking all I can hear in my head is "spoofer, spoofer, spoofer!"

    This is a very poor format. Short snappy soundbites are the order of the day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,876 ✭✭✭deelite


    Who said (it wasn't Adams) "It was the biggest bank robbery of the state ever" - .....


  • Registered Users Posts: 31 lilbelter


    Gilmore's hand is gonna come off at the wrist if he keeps the waggin up!

    Yes yes yes . .

    We all know the bank bailout was morally unsound but what was the alternative ? I am sure there possibly was one, but nobody on stage has offered it ! ! Does nobody else see the ridiculous nature of these kind of answers . .
    Didnt Lehmans not ask the US for a bailout of 35Billion and they were let fall. Now look at the kind of money that an economy 100 times smaller is blowing away to anglo and the rest.

    WTF - A GAA CLUB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I think he's talking about the GAA club being the spirit of the town/community. People are leaving, they've no jobs, can't afford to run cars. If the club suffers which is a small thing in itself but the club is probably tied in with the community. Town and club suffers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 697 ✭✭✭uRbaN


    Give us hell Quimby (Gerry)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,517 ✭✭✭axer


    Good route Adams! Nobody can beat him on that. Cuts for TDs


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,085 ✭✭✭wow sierra


    How is this question different to question 1? Jobs and emigration again? This is real crap - just another frontline programme.

    Bye. I'm off to watch CSI

    Can somebody not ask what the parties are willing to sacrifice for their country ?

    Eg - If FG had the majority of seats and went into coalition with Labour, if people wanted Gilmore as leader would he step down for the greater good ?

    Answer: of course not, but it would be good to watch him squirm!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 761 ✭✭✭dedon


    Gormely . Research and development in what?? carbon gas?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,408 ✭✭✭✭Sardonicat


    No-one is actually answering where the jobs will come from.

    Retrofitting again! Yeah, 400,000 plus retrofitting jobs will be created this year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,876 ✭✭✭deelite


    Did they get a copy of the questions that were going to be asked.


  • Registered Users Posts: 84 ✭✭Mike Strutter


    Gormley - useless
    I was thinking it was a shame he didnt fall off that ladder when he was putting up his poster and break his neck in the opening credits.

    But then i doubt you could break his of Michael Martins neck - hard - like a jockeys bollocks

    These politicians are supposed to get their message across quickly, concisely and in an informative style. Going on ramblings like Gormley did there ruins the style.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,329 ✭✭✭✭namloc1980


    Martin: "Governments don't create Jobs".

    Really?? You're government was responsible for bloating the public service out of all proportion, Mr. Martin!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,328 ✭✭✭dartbhoy


    Martin talking through his hole as usual!

    If people wanted Gilmore as leader then Labour would have a bigger vote. How do know who the people want as the leader?


  • Registered Users Posts: 84 ✭✭Mike Strutter


    EBAY HAHAHAHA

    I interviewed with them last may and last time I spoke to their HR they said the positions were on hold

    I would say EG and actually JG are doing well, I don't think EK is doing as well as his fanboys here seem to think. He is sticking to his script so rigidly, and Pat seems to like giving him more time.

    we all are, its ridiculous, we were supposed to be ftb's later this year, now its jump in right now and hope for the best or a wait and see what happens in the next 4 years game :(

    im sorry but it seems to me not one person there is talking sense....



    where the hell are they (mostly enda and gerry) going to get the money to back all these 'proposals' the are promising????

    dear god, they should be tearing strips out of FF not making it look like FF were right all through this election build up!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,408 ✭✭✭✭Sardonicat


    What FG want to do is create mickey mouse schemes were people are forced to work for their dole and call it "jobs". Baroness Varadkar let the cat out of the bag last week on VB.

    not really, sure Kenny is bottom of the Leaders poll yet look at FGs ratings


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,028 ✭✭✭✭SEPT 23 1989


    Enda wiping the floor with the rest of them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,584 ✭✭✭✭hotmail.com


    Only men are emigrating? This GAA example does my head in.

    Martin shouldn't use the term "honesty".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,306 ✭✭✭✭Drumpot


    Looks like FG got the kind of debate that suits Kenny . .

    He has been far from good but he has had the perfect opportunity to have a stage to get going without rebuttle.

    Seriously, the only reason people will think Kenny was decent was because they expected such a lame performance, hes at best ok and thats only because of the "debate" setup . .

    You can see Gilmore and Martin benefited from last weeks warm up . .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,545 ✭✭✭sgthighway


    enda is doing alright


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,876 ✭✭✭deelite


    Gerry has his hand up - probably to ask to go to the toilet.
