People have their own reasons for voting. Personally I wouldn't vote for someone because my father voted for them but this is a democracy thus we all have a free choice to use the vote how we wish.

whats worrying is the star struck reaction of citizens when approached by politicians. they see them as rich mega stars or something. these idiots bankrupted the country! they should be harangued by the public. all parties. not just FF. Im sick of it already.:mad:

that doesn't surprise me in the least. the majority of irish people are backward and half are just braindead individuals and this is perfectly true as everyone can see clearly.

You could go further than that: how about "Fianna Fail: We Fųck up Countries for good"; come to think of it the US could have saved billions of dollars by installing FF as governments in Afghanistan and Iraq...

I would invite anyone who says FF fix potholes to come have a drive around Cork City.
Parts of Cork are like Zimbabwe at the moment to be entirely honest, I don't ever recall the roads being so bad.
You could be forgiven for thinking we've just been at war.

The good news, if you don't like sheep, is that the total number of sheep slaughtered in Ireland continues to fall. (Unless, of course, this means that even more sheep are being reared than heretofore. :eek:)

What exactly is your point? That people are very slow to move from long established positions? We know this, part of the human condition.

The real challenge for FG and Labour is to show how they can do things better and why they are the better party to turn things around. Personally, I have yet to see the evidence.

The big battleground is still to come - retention of our favorable tax rate for multi-nationals. Germany and France will want to tie in any concessions to movement on this. Where does any political have the necessary experience to lead negotiations in this area?

(Michael Martin, despite his teaching background, did little to reform education. Enda Kenny's negotiating experience is limited to splats within FG and helping with the program for government for the Rainbow Coalition. Eamon Gilmore, as a former union organizer, is probably our best hope. If the ability of other union organizers is anything to go by. However, there is the real risk that he's all rhetoric.)

Well, I suppose having good eyesight is a small consolation ...

A boards user calls people sheeple. An absolute insult to sheep. Give animals a vote and they will know how to use it correctly. Ill take my pet cat as an example. My brother hates him and fecks him out. The cat will not go to my brother under any circumstances after be fecked so many times. My brother could use meat, milk, cream to lure him but the cat will not go to him. My brother could put on a mask and the cat is still not fooled. True story. Animals are amazing and very clever in spite of having never sat in school.

Whats wrong with people willing to vote FF after being fcuked around so many times. FF supporters should be ashamed of themselves.

6 o'clock news.

Even more embarrassing is when Micheál Martin refuses to answer a poor guys question!

happy days that huge two foot wide pothole on the road entering the rivervalley swords shopping centre is fixed at last but hang on all they done was fill the hole with hundreds of little stones. a quick cleanup as election time is coming.

Isn't this whole sheep thing a labour stunt ?

Labour have a neck to call the other parties weak.

having good eyesight is imperative when you are dealing with mafia styled politicians

Thats why Fianna Fail are a centrist/populist party, they fix potholes if people need them fixed, they don't if people don't want them fixed. I can't believe so many people still complain about others voting for them.

New Zealand has way more.

We're essentially a nation of peasants.

I always wondered why so many irish people love my border collie dog, he's a great sheep hearder.

If FF somehow won the next general election I'd probably support the end of democracy in Ireland.

There'd be no point in making a mockery of the democratic system.
