"Fine Gael Girl" - FG's online cringe gets weirder...

    What is with FG's online campaign? First we had the previous website being "stood down" to much hillarity by the hackers and onlookers, then we had the valentines cringe campaign, and now "Fine Gael Girl".




    Interestingly this was put up a couple of days ago before it was hastily taken down again. This must be one of the most bizarre online campaigns by any political party. Maybe it is working? They are at 39%. But I don't think the public can take much more cheese especially since that free cheese started being distributed by Fianna Fáil.

    This reminds me of something like a Musulini propaganda campaign...Ireland is green and will always be green. We don't like blue - it's tacky:(

    Audio is really bad, sounds like she did the voice recording in a bathroom.

    It was posted on politics.ie then removed from youtube apparently. Spelling mistakes or some such.

    Blue is the colour of change? When did NASA make this stunning announcement?

    Blue is a positive colour?
    Who the fcuk cares whether it's a positive or negative colour. Next we'll see Enda out hugging trees or something.

    i don't get the fuss? as long as there's no party political broadcasts on tv between the simpsons and home and away, i'm happy. if they want to embrace the web to get their ideas across, that's fine.
    why cringe? is it because youtube is too cool for politics?

    Amazing how, as soon as the 'stage managed' becomes real, off he tootles.

    She wasn't aggressive or unreasonable, it's incredibly hard not to be cynical about the whole exercise.

    Even regardless of the situation his party is currently in, I find it absolutely disgusting and abhorrent that a politician could walk away from a question like that.

    In any other country in the civil world, a question like that would demand a full and thorough answer. His attitude was just, f*ck off, I'm not bothered even trying to excuse myself.

    The worst thing is, I wouldn't expect any more from most other candidates in the forthcoming election. :(

    the thing is though, we need someone who will not surround himself with yes men, like what we've had for the past decade or so. we can't knock it 'til we try it!

    Mehole should have told the auld biddy the truth and said that 230 is a perfectly reasonable sum to live on each week, and that we have the most generous social welfare system in the world.

    QFT. Possibly one of the oddest things ever produced in support of a politician.

    You're forgetting the number one rule in politics - never give a straight answer.

    i know loads of people on the dole who live on less than 230 a week, and they still have plenty of money to go drinking, smoke cigarettes and buy xbox games

    dunno what she was complaining about
