VOTE FOR PETER CASEY, be a voice for elderly people who have never hurt anyone in their lives. Let them live in peace in their own homes, this could be your mother or mine.

He is indeed.

And the US is experiencing excellent financial growth. All the economic indicators are looking positive.

The man's a twat, and you may not agree with much he says (I know I don't), but he must be doing something right somewhere.

Well, he's exploding the deficit and overheating the economy so the resulting crash will be of gigantic proportions.
By that time he will be gone, resting on his billions while the country will wish it was back in the 1930's.
He does this knowing full well that he will have fcuked the entire planet, but he won bigly and that's all that matters to the man.
Many here may not have paid attention to the time 2000-2008, they're just enjoying the ride and when it all goes to sh*t, the howling and gnashing of teeth will be spectacular.
It's the exact same sh*t and people never learn.

Spot on. I remember Garret Fitzgerald having work done in his Ranelagh home years after his government role ended. All entirely due to security. Higgins will have protection for life, as is his entitlement.

Living in fear while being elderly and alone in a rural area is not prejudice.

Do you seriously think elderly people care about ethnic status, they care about the local Garda station closing down and they are terrified fear of travellers will drive them into nursing homes.

Grow up Francie, you are a strong man who can defend yourself, you arent ninety years of age living down some boreen afraid to sleep. This is the reality of rural living and no one gives these people a voice.

No one in the entire country apart those paid by the taxpayer to whine on about travellers cares about ethnicity, the majority of the population thought this is more SJW nonsense and didnt give it a second thought.

So why didn't Casey mention rural crime?
There are plenty of TD's in the Dail complaining about station closures and rural crime for several elections now but somehow this 52-55% continues to elect into power those very people who will close stations, under resource the gardai etc.

But Casey as president will not stop criminals beating up old people in their homes I'm afraid.

Casey must read AH

He must, seen this.

However, he is now "more determined than ever to remain in the race" after being inundated with messages of support.

And this..

He also refuses to apologise for his comments about Traveller ethnicity because he believes they are "first and foremost" Irish citizens.

It's not racist to say Irish are Irish is it?

Same with Marian Finucane show now . 100% Casey bashing saying nobody supports him . It’s very strange how ALL media outlets, journalists and politicians are taking the moral high ground and speaking for ALL of us on this ???.

The fact that you are surprised is the surprising bit. Brings to mind the Citizenship Referendum. If you went by the media everybody was going to vote "no". 85% voted yes. They live in their own world. Just ignore them. They are full of crap. (In RTE's case at our expence). They probably don't even believe it themselves. Anybody who takes them seriously needs therapy.

Do you believe anyone voted for Higgins on the basis of him only staying for one term? Anyone at all? And if so what would that say about their assessment of the available candidates?

I’m not surprised . I don’t need therapy . Their naievity is laughable unless it’s all just PR . Exactly the same thing happened in the past and the results were so different to the PC media hype.

No but the people who called him a racist, for wanting equality for all Irish citizens should be.

mikemac2 · 21-10-2018 12:01PM

He suspended his campaign on Friday and said he’d consider his position over the weekend

To get into the Sunday papers he must have given his new decision early on Saturday.

I dunno, seems a bit contrived to me like a band walking off stage and returning for an encore. Maybe his team found a clever way to get into the Sunday papers and it worked

PC missed a chance there.

If I was him, I would have demanded an apology from Gallagher, for calling him a racist to his face on live TV. That was a very serious accusation to make and one which PC seemed to ignore.

The scary thing is a lot of older people trust the lamestream media.
It is these older people who have to suffer all the breaks in from this so-called community.

I don't think he would have much of a chance, legally speaking.

The UN defines attacks on ethnicity as racial discrimination. All Gallagher's lawyers would have to do is point to that and collect their fee.

Well the older generations seem happy enough to behave the way they do, so yes the children are the best hope they have of changing the wider communities perception of them.

Okay. So I am best not listening to anything you have to say from now on.

You realize tax is generated off the back of people working hard and making sacrifices right?

Nah you couldn’t be suggesting the council pay for the stables.........

You realise the houses were already built and there is a bigger picture and you aren't seeing it, right?

You do not live in a dictatorship, it is absolutely insulting to those who live under regimes where their rights are curtailed that you'd claim such nonsense to be true.

Get a hold of yourself, I meant a societal/intellectual dictatorship.
I'm sick of sjw's who harp on about "rape culture" et al and are nowhere to be seen when the treatment of women in middle Eastern countries is mentioned, which is an insult to women who actually live in a culture where rape or the rapist is never punished but rather the victim, but hey we can't upset Muslims, because its their culture/heritage (what other group do those words apply to?).

Or maybe he hasn't said anything since Friday and the papers are just making up quotes. In my eyes a quote in an article isn't valid unless it gives a time and a place

Loose horses have brought a town the size of Galway 'to it's knees'? Are we sensationalising just a tweeny tiny bit here?

Travellers who break the law should be treated exactly the same as anybody else who breaks it.

The same people who pay for law and order and cctv in every other part of the country should pay for it.

Again I ask, whose fault is it that the law in the country is being ignored?

Would you suggest the guards should be better equipped?
Armed perhaps?

Stinks to high noon?
Maybe I should get on board with a "philanthropist" who funds a campaign for the repeal of the eight amendment (popularly viewed as something imposed by the Catholic Church and which was obviously not fit for purpose) by having its activists dress in black uniforms.
Soros stinks to high heaven, or even your spaghetti Western version if you care to examine what he's been up to.
