    It's a laugh. If Sauron came out as a Yes voter they'd be saying how they always had a grudging respect for him...

    if sauron agrees to join the battle against iona i would be willing to make at least a favourable reference to Mordor in the oireachtas etc etc

    the lady on the yes side interupted maria steen numerous times too. i felt that kenny pulled the no side up alot while not applying the same rules to yes side. he clearly doesnt like maria steen.

    A lot of people do not like Maria Steen. I find her insufferable. She insists on speaking even though her time is up - Pat really schooled her tonight.
    It was a joy to watch - especially the look of disgust on her face on one of the occasions when he turned his back on her. She has been given free
    rein on so many other programmes, it was about time she was pulled up.

    Fairness and compassion, two intrinsically weak and negative values. I don’t care what people think because I know what’s wrong and what’s right, I have my beliefs and I have travelled the world and I know what is right and what is wrong and we are headed down a very dangerous path which will lead our society into disaster very soon.

    What disaster?

    I don't see any disasters in societies in Europe that have had abortion for 30-50 years now.

    You're just being dramatic.

    Declan Ganley, the man who abhorred Lisbon II and Nice II now looking ahead with great confidence to The 8th II (or is it III ?!)

    What a bell-end.

    Every so often he slithers out from under a rock.

    Wish he would just stay under it.

    Does Declan Ganley only ever appear for the losing side of Referendums? As in, I've literally never seen him unless there is a Referendum on. Makes me think he's an MI5 Agent or something.

    A No victory seems to be be good odds there.

    Gonna Make a prediction.

    52% No Vote victory come Saturday.

    Yea forget the 1/8 on for YES - complete rubbish :pac::pac:

    So far I have heard a total of nobody here say the other side won any debate at all.

    Maria Steen no longer practices law and home schools her children and is the mouth piece of Iona.

    Theresa Lowe no longer practices law and runs a consultancy business.

    They both use the term Barrister as they are qualified as such and it lends credence to some of the nonsence they spout.

    Hopefully we've seen the last of them

    Unreal. And she's a barrister?! :eek:

    I know.

    Just hope you're never a client of hers, or a patient of Patricia Casey :eek:

    I'm partial to your abracadabra
    I'm raptured by the joy of it all

    The secret No voter will surge to victory like Trump and Brexit, the gutter tactics of the abortionists have swayed moderates to vote No or abstain. Most political scientists I know are predicting a No victory.

    Fcuking hilarious :D

    There were no secret voters.


    I doubt you know any scientist, probably terrified they'll contaminate you with the gay or other liberal agenda.

    I don't know if someone has asked this question before but why are there yes vote ads on this site?

    Anybody speaking in favour of yes just come across as more mature, compassionate, understanding and fair than any No campaigner I've seen.

    Seriously that's only because you're a yes voter. No voters will and do think the complete opposite.
    In the recent debates last night and tonight the "no" side have been absolutely opposed to abortion in all cases. How is that compassion.
    If a girl is raped they believe that access to abortion is still wrong.
    How is that compassion in anyone's world


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,634 ✭✭✭munsterlegend


    Ganley talking about covering up for rapists, while he's an ultra catholic and his church are the experts on covering up and shielding rapists!

    You attack Ganley/Catholic Church but nothing about Mary Lou and her defence of Adams and his brother. talk about contradictory.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,637 ✭✭✭✭Water John


    Ganley asked that politicians deal with a raped child being pregnant. But obviously, the can't because the 8th.

    It's quite curious how you can 'reconcile' all the facets of your personality. Not too fond of women when they effect your rugby team. But now a lover of their 'freedoms'.

    You're quite a ticket Mr. Brady ;) I think we both know the score. It's not your love of the fairer sex but anti clericalism is your main priority.

    I think I argued that the women in the Belfast case were not 'all women' actually.

    But feel free to carry on with the character assassination.

    This rape case seems to be asked to all of the NO campaign.

    And answered by none of them

    Quite amusing the amount of 'Pat is great, Pat did this, Pat the Pro, Pat is putting them in their place'.

    From posters who usually call him Kenny or Plank on the Late Late thread! If Hitler was on the Yes side it would be 'wasn't Adolf marvellous!'

    You're just being dramatic.

    The demographic disaster, the islamization and terror of Europe, the fertility crisis, the impending pensions timebomb, all caused by feminism and the contraceptive pill, plus the degenerate consumerism behaviour of modern society where women are refusing to bring children into the world. Germany and Sweden will both be minority’s in their own countries soon, they will be sorry when the minority majority turns on them and liberalism goes to the window in favour of genocide.

    European birth rates have been dropping for the few decades with one exception... Ireland.

    Edit, before anyone asks just Google Irish birth rate, a host of articles and links appear.

    Much talk that the chaos and internal conflict within 'No' this week (debate personnel, strategy on hard case row-back etc) are due to internal polling which they have carried out themselves and the data of which puts them on the crappy side of 63-37 outcome.

    Keep your money in your pocket chief.
    The margin won't be that large, since it's little different from the SSM outcome which was a much less contentious campaign.
    I still think 55/45 is more realistic

    Because you haven't turned on your Ad Blocker and somebody using your IP address is looking at Yes sites or web pages.

    What is that weirdly indefinable creepiness all the American kids in that CNN piece have going on?

    Like, if you saw them on any street in the country from 150 feet away, in any context, you'd know exactly who they were.

    The whole opening spiel is a yes vote campaign message. You think you're on neutral ground here?
