Does anyone else think that this was a stupid choice by Gay Mitchell?
There was 3374 death row inmates in 2003 yet Gay Mitchell decides to seek clemency for the psychopath who up until he died had no remorse for his crimes, was proud of what he did encouraged others to do the same :eek:
Supporting Gay Mitchell for the presidency is a mad choice even for Fine Gael.

I love the way the presidential campaign strategy has been to dig up as much muck as possible on anyone looking to run.

Why should we vote for you?
Campaigner: Well I never sought clemency for a murder or someone facing charges for peadophilia or facilitated a dodgy land deal like some others I could mention

Who the **** cares? Many people believe the death penalty is barbaric and doesn't work in preventing violent crimes and murder.

They're making too big a deal about the letter he wrote and not focussing enough attention on the fact that he has as much charm and charisma as a steamed turnip.

Is it a personality contest or a means of determing the best possible candidate for the job?

Well then what does determine the best candidate for the job? It's pretty much a supercharged PR role. Personality is probably the most important factor, for me at least.. and I don't want a creeping Jesus representing me.

My problem is his choice of criminal, as i said above 3374 people, he picks the nutjob who's proud of what he did.
The point is that he's obviously an idiot.

Caramel has always been opposed to politicians interfering in the judicial system and has never engaged in such.
