    You have to look nice for these things, bit of make up, shine your head.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,469 ✭✭✭eeepaulo


    Because somebody said 'Travellers, something something...'

    You took in more of the counter argument than i expected

    Peter Casey talking about the budget and building houses. Still not sure he’s read the job spec.

    You have been trying it all along, for an old man your fairly well versed in the social justice communication narrative to shut down conversation. Straight out of the usual playbook we see.

    I have discussed this from the start, offered opinion and facts. I got criticised for posting so much and not one post until Casey made a cod of himself tried to shut down anything.

    MDH basically called "fake news" in his own esoteric manner on Casey

    Casey is not in the media business.
    Many other millionaires are.

    Probably, and same with everyone else on TV.

    Mdh has been almost unheard tonight.

    But Casey is strong and will probably come second.

    Nice one Peter. Bout time someone mentioned the last Budget doing nothing for the person that gets up in the morning. That get my number 1.

    Offered opinions, labelled others in order to discount their argument. Standard playbook we see all the time online.

    You don't really want to see the argument others have and as such most of the time people are just digging the head in the sand from the otherside.

    He accused Casey of fabrication. Nothing esoteric about that.

    How the hill are those 3 people successful business men?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,346 ✭✭✭✭homerjay2005


    I think Joan Freeman is a good person

    she is a lovely woman.....sorta like an Irish mammy. good honest woman.

    however, she is completely out of her depth in these debates and looks like she is going to cry.

    she probably woudl however be a good president, the role is all about being nice though she has no presence and charisma which is guess is crucial.

    That's grand and all but he can do precisely **** all about it as President. If he wants to change things politically, he should run for the Dail.

    Still nice to see someone in the public eye call it s it is.

    He can do precisely f**k all about nothing that I give a **** about as President. But talking about some stuff that I do, will do for me as a start.

    Nice won't cut it.
    You either want real change or not.
    Casey or any other President can't deliver it.

    I wasn't continuously labelled and labelled in your own post?

    Sorry Calhoun, if you are not self aware enough to know you are contradicting yourself in one short post, then you cannot be helped. Discussion is discussion. Grow a pair.

    Oh it is nice.

    At least it’s been talked about, that’s a start and further than before he opened his mouth.

    Nice one peter.

    How the hell are those 3 people successful business men?

    I know. It's staggering how weak they are. I think they are making a show of themselves.

    It's hard to believe that Sean Gallagher came within an ass's roar of becoming president in 2011.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,039 ✭✭✭✭retro:electro


    Gallagher: "... people say to me..."

    Would ya **** off, nobody says nothing to you, you slap-head ****. Get off the stage, ****in nobody.


    I'm running in 2025.

    :pac: :pac:

    For the first time since I turned 18 I’m actually thinking of not voting. There isn’t one of them who’d inspire you. Casey, while I applaud for his sentiments last week is already starting to piss me off and I couldn’t be looking at the head on him for the next 7 years.
    Micheal D is so inoffensively boring. I was only a sprog when they were in office, but I remember McAleese and Robinson doing something with their position. Higgins is being paid a fortune to prance up and down the halls of the Aras reciting poetry.
    The whole thing would depress you.

    He can't help you, see above.

    Well if that's the case, get one of them to start talking about free Fortnite V-Bucks for everyone or Kim Khardasian and they'll be a shoe-in.

    Grim watching, trying to get tiny wins based on underhanded remarks to get to 12.5% and get their campaign money refunded.

    There is only one presidential candidate on that podium and he’s the one currently in office.

    When then only thing the competition can bemoan about is the use of a Jet once in 7 years and the fact that he hasn’t disclosed his expenses (the same as everyone else since 1938) you know you’re doing a good job.

    And who can?
    A big vote for Casey will certainly shake things up. If he can rattle the Establishment that much from 2% in the poll, imagine what would happen if he got a significant vote.
    It might set some wheels slowly in motion.

    No they wont.

    Being brutally honest with you at any other time there is no way i would vote for him, in fact the more i learn about each and every one of them i probably wouldnt vote for anyone.

    The reason i am even interested in Casey is because of the way he was attacked by the media and other groups, and because we have a leader of our country who seems to think that its ok to try and tell people how to vote.

    I don't for one second believe Casey will get in but i would hope he would get a high enough vote count to send a message to the powers at be.

    Some Trump voters said the same thing ha
