Casey said on the radio, that if elected he would play by the rule book anyway. He also said he wouldn't be taking the salary with the position, it would be donated to CCs to give to a charity.

You heard it and said oh thank lord someone answered my prayers. He gets your vote moves in gets a nice day salary. You don't hear another peep about travelers and nothing changes This is classic snake oil sales pitch. They used to run these skits on little house on the prairie. It's classic Hollywood trope how in the hell are people with access to the knowledge of the internet falling for this , really, in this day and age

Don’t worry I’ll be up early in the morning slaving away trying to make a living and enough to pay taxes for Ms cash and her ilk. Don’t despair i still haven’t lost sight of what it means to contribute to the pot unlike a certain section of society.

Don't let him steal your vote because that's what he's doing. No different to the people you are angry about there. This fella is picking your pocket of a vote. Two sides of a slapped arse That's a problem

listermint wrote: » Actually I do. Let me explain. Voter apathy. All it takes is one single comment plank to ride in on populism. He could easily get in on a couple of thousand votes. So yeah it's encombent on us all not to allow fellas like this make a mockery of the office. Least we end up looking like a laughing stock . Yes that's trump territory. Voter apathy is a thing, do you not see why this bunch of folks are hoping for it. Its why they are running.

Meet and greet heads of state, be amiable, etc. Michael D has it down to a fine art and I'll be voting for him. If you agree with Casey's comments...fair enough..but try get your local TD to do something similar. I like my Presidents to be uncontroversial, it's a ceremonial role.

And I'd be willing to bet (although we'll never know the outcome) that if Casey was elected somebody from Pavee Point will be one of the first on the guest list for the inauguration.
