This country always needs a scapegoat. If FG were in power I guarantee they'd be subject of this thread. Greed brought this country to it's knees. Politicians, bankers and builders. (the three "Fs"). That's all politicians.

Tolerated for so long by the apathy of the Irish people.

I agree. Wasn't there talk a while ago of banning these kinds of threads?

To translate: 'I'm a FF supporter. When i thought they were riding high, i would've flaunted it in my posts'.
To clarify; the above comment is a product of my imagination and is in no way a comment on the post i happened to respond to.
That poster, though, clearly seems a bit worried about FF being a scapegoat. The only reason i'd suspect that the poster might wish FG was the scapegoat is that the poster mentioned them straight away as possible scapegoats, in an After Hours that might exist in some alternative reality, where FG had been in power for the last 10 years.
The poster misses the point, though; FG weren't in power for the last 10 years.
FF were and made the decisions that have us were we are; is that too difficult to understand?
That's why a lot of people tend to regard them as largely responsible.

Can someone remind me how FG said that they'd pull the few million out of their ass to ensure that the EU loans are not needed?

You'd have to elaborate on when 'FG said that they'd pull the few million out of their ass to ensure that the EU loans are not needed'.
Of course they never said that, and that comment doesn't even begin to make sense, in any way.
It's advisable for people to have a bit of a clue about what they're commenting on, before posting.
Just my opinion.

Cheap Thrills!

Buh bye d!ckheads, enjoy our eternal hatred you shower of treasonous twats.

Why would these kinds of threads be banned? Our nation is going through tremendous turmoil and the effects will be felt for many years to come. Some people are able to enjoy the craic in AH and still be interested in the fact that their country is going down the *****er. There is no glory in being an ostrich.

3. Set to highest setting
   
4. Say in Arnie's voice: "You're fired!!"
   
5. Release sweet Napalm on their asses.

I get what you're saying but the economy and our government are not just of interest to people who like politics anymore - it pervades every area of our lives.

Waste of resources. Just line them up in one tight column and shoot to the head. You can take 2 and 3 out with one bullet , SS style.

I can still see people voting for Fianna Fail again in the next election, when you talk to people about it all I hear is "Sure the other crowd would be no better", so it's Ok to reward Fianna Fail with an other term for fcuking up the country in the last 10 years. People have very short memories.

I wouldnt write them off just yet.

It's not as if they haven't done this type of thing before.

You know, like selling passports, running DIRT tax scams, rezoning land for political and financial gain, ending up in court on gun running charges, Jim McDaid getting a conviction for drink driving, corruption, libellous newspaper article by Limerick TD' and I think we can see the pattern emerging.

The truth is that the FF party have a colourful history of this type of thing and to say that they will be killed off over bankrupting the nation and damaging the euro may be jumping the gun a bit.

Just my opinion.

If they think that they can do without any help from the EU, I'd like to wish them well. As it stands, it would benefit FG greatly if FF got the money, got kicked out of government, and when FG came in, they'd have money in the kitty, with the excuse that FF brought in the IMF, but we'll spend the money.

Which I'd find ironic, considering FG made the base for the celtic tiger house, and when FF came in, they built a damn fine shed.

Bullsh!t. FF were anti democratic in their roots, did not establish an Irish republic and were always the haven of the cute hoor. They have brought their supporters and the rest of us to this sorry mess through incompetence, arrogance and cronyism.

The relationship between Fianna Fail and the Irish people is like that of a neglected and physically abused wife and an insulting, selfish brute husband. Brute husband kicks the **** out of wife one night, but wife knows its for her own good. Wife goes around town with sunglasses and pretends it's alright, puts on a brave face. Then after a serious beating some night, meek wife makes a break for it but ultimately comes back because she loves him.

Cheap Thrills!

Yeh, or something.

These discussions don't seem to belong in AH OR Politics forums????

AH'ers are bamboozled and ignored in Politics forum but irritating and boring/bringing down the craic in AH ........

Sanjuro

Do not be so confident that Fianna Fail are on the brink of oblivion. If Irish people love anything, it's an underdog. And it's this that makes me think that a great many people will give these people a vote despite all disaster they've landed us all in. Hubris is not a good thing. Wait until they are actually out of power before being sure of their downfall.

They will, unfortunately, be back. Thanks to the electorate.

Stained Class

Unfortunately, politics in this country follows no logic.

It's tribal.

My Grandad fought in the Civil War & I have to vote FF/FG etc.

It's like you're betraying your family to vote for anybody else.

Mad innit.

PeterIanStaker

Fianna Fail just like Catholicism, is a mental illness that has been ingrained into the Irish mindset. I'm sad to say that it'll never fully dissapear. They might soon be a long time in the wilderness like the Tories were in the UK, but I guarantee you they'll be back in ten years when people have forgotten and/or the journos have bombarded them with ars3licking revisionism.

Here's an idea. Why not have second republic.

Agree to hand over the running of the country for 4-5 years to the EU while we try to pay back what we owe and while we devise a new BUNREACHT NA hÉIREANN[(I've no problem with the current one except it assumes honesty/honoribility on the part of our elected rep's/public servants and that they will act in the best interests of the people).

At the end of this term anyone who has been an elected rep of a recognised political party is excluded from standing again on the grounds of incompetence
