    2. Being so utterly incompetently useless and corrupt that the voting public actually thought that FG would be a good alternative.

    General Election 2007


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin


    A minister for finance who didn't have a bank account.
    :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,382 ✭✭✭lastlaugh


    3. Opening the floodgates and letting lots of foreign people onto our native shores


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    Back stroke.

    Charlie was brilliant at it.

    *. Paying something like €50m for e-voting machines and then when they were deemed unsuitable paying their own cronies to store them indefinitely.

    * Constitutional referendums will continue until you pick the 'correct' answer x2


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,382 ✭✭✭lastlaugh


    4. Giving out loads of money to lay abouts and single mothers.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,382 ✭✭✭lastlaugh


    42. Being in cohorts with the banks and ruining the country and all that kind of type of thing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    You have to blame the idiots who kept voting them back in.
    Far too many uninformed voters. There should be a Fás course that explains the polices of each party that everyone must attend before voting in a general election

    Yes, because FÁS have such a good track record at training people.

    Ha ha, a Fas course, that's a good one!

    :D:pac:

    Get a nice little Fetac level 5 cert at the end perhaps. We should have to pay 100euro to do it every election year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,379 ✭✭✭Smcgie


    All the ole men and women who vote for them regardless because their parents told them too/did it. - Idiots

    Mary Hanafin and Mary Coughlan. They must have been stroking something.

    Health minister was an obese overweight monster
    Transport minister didn't have a driving license
    And so on

    Ah c'mon now, just 'cause she was a little chunky doesn't mean she wasn't good at her job!

    By "overseeing", you mean "blowing", right ? Or "barely taking notice of what's really going on" ?

    Just one of the myriad of ways FF and FG are carbon copies of each other.

    Overseeing it in the worst fashion possible. Are you actually serious?

    Timing the SSIA scheme offer almost perfectly with the 2002 general election. Also making the dividend date 5 years to ensure repayment sync'd with the next election.

    Capping the church's liability for raping and abusing children at €120 million meaning we have paid the balance which, so far, is up to a grand total of €1.22 billion.

    Special thanks goes to Dr. Michael Woods from my own constituency for that piece of moral bankruptcy where he deliberately bypassed the judicary. Next time I pass him in the street when some punter is fawning over him telling him what a good job he did, I don't think I'll be able to merely walk on by, whether his wife is with him or not. Cnut of the highest order.

    Building a port tunnel too small for the high rig tucks

    Building PPARs

    Voting Machines

    Giving Unions TOO MUCH POWER.

    Selling of gas fields when Norway was there to help and guide Ireland to do it independent.

    McSharry, Charlie, Cowen Aherne, Lawlor, Flynn, McCrevvey Reynolds..... all a bunch of self serving impotent co*ksu*ckers that have ever walked in shoe leather.

    I had to delete this line as I would probably be reported, flagged & banned with the Irish Secret Service coming to my door. It had to do with shovels and shotguns. You can fill in the blanks.

    Destroying the Irish economy for the third generation in a row, leaving Fine Gael and Labour to clean up the mess, making the aforementioned parties look like the bad guys again, returning to power to line their pockets and destroy the Irish economy for another generation.

    Liam, I don't log on here to have depressing political debates or point score against other posters.

    I like to try and have a laugh on here, although you may view this as simplistic and idiotic, I really couldn't give a flying F*ck to be honest.

    Nothing funny or original about the repeated-ad-nauseum phrase "haters gonna hate".

    If and when you come up with a post that's original and funny that we can have a laugh at, let us know!

    It's founder being instrumental in the cause and start of the Civil War; in part over the pledge of allegiance to the english monarch and then swearing the oath in 1927 to claim power with FF.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 296 ✭✭Inverse to the power of one!


    2 pages in and no mention of the bank guarantee!!! :O

    Probably the biggest fúck-up in international financial history!

    Charley Mc Creevy I generally blame him for most the mess we are in, but I always remember him abolishing the betting tax. He is generally known for enjoying a flutter.

    Hopefully not.

    Swapping lying idiots in and out won't improve our lot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,644 ✭✭✭cml387


    The list is endless

    Giving full driving licenses to people who had two provisional licenses.

    The great "decentralisation" disaster.

    Buying out the Talbot workers by giving them wages for life to do nothing.

    Abolishing rates on private homes, now having to be re-introduced at the worst possible time.

    Getting your election agent to vote for you twice.

    Threatening phone calls to Uachtaran na h-Eireann

    Planting trees and removing said trees after election


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 335 ✭✭Constab2


    Lisbon 1 & 2
    Shell to sea(shameful collusion of State powers & big business)
    The HSE
    NAMA
    & the famous 'We are not in discussions with the IMF'
    They(FF) & sister party(FG) have destroyed & will destroy respectively my kids future ,Not long before Wife & I will be waving goodbye at the airport to the two of them,educated,qualified,leaving.Totally depressing.

    Attempting to shuffle the cabinet just before the election so more of the bastards could get a ride on the gravy train, if only for a short while.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,644 ✭✭✭cml387


    Giving the Catholic church a deal limiting the amount they had to pay into a compensation fund for child abuse


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 668 ✭✭✭blow69


    Things that involved high levels of planning and yet the end product was hugely flawed.

    e.g. not connecting the two Luas lines.


    Not creating the underground Metro, which would have made access to Dublin Airport easier, sooner. No, instead they offset the budget surpluses on bonuses for already overpaid figureheads and politicians and SW add-ons.
