    What defence dude? As I said I have no problem with criticism of an individual's ideas/policies or lack thereof but when it descends to personal attack I have nothing but contempt for the clowns engaged in it.

    Casey does strike me as a very populist type of candidate. I can see why Sinn Fein supporters might have cause for concern.

    Dunno if I'd vote for him though. I don't like the talk about leaving the single currency at all. As I said earlier in the thread, there's a smack of JRM off it.

    On both threads you have attacked anyone criticising him. And have done your fair share of 'personal attack'.

    So you claim I have attacked anyone who has criticised him, time to back up your claim with proof not your usual defense if in my opinion. When you are ready......

    Maybe its because Sinn Fein stands for Radical Feminism, 75% taxation rates, and free houses for those who never worked a day in their life. Sinn Fein are an ultra-Marxist mouthpiece and I'd vote for the DUP anyday before I'd give SF a vote and I am a very Nationalistic person.

    Really???? I'm no fan of any political party but one thing I do know is I'd never vote for the DUP and you claiming you would as a nationalist is a load of bollix.

    A random pluck of some of your derisiveness:

    I'd say, develop an actual political argument, if you wish to support him. Otherwise, maybe enroll in a fanclub and leave the discussion of what he says his policy is to others?

    I'm not a SF fan at all but that is just utter laughable nonsense.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Do you want to discuss his policies or defend him because he shot his mouth off about travellers and doesn't want to talk about that anymore.

    Have you any policy arguments? Yes or no? Simple question.

    You can't answer it though.

    What is your opinion of Casey's policy of wanting to leave the Euro? Will you vote for him on that policy?

    No I am not.

    Can you answer my question now to get the thread back on topic.

    What do you think of Casey's views on the Euro?

    Ok, I went back and read your answer...you couldn't care less what his views are on the Euro.

    So are you advocating a vote for him in this election? Yes or No answer will suffice.
    Because if you 'couldn't care less' then I will just ignore what you have to say. I'm strongly advocating NOT voting for him.

    Surely he;d be better off going to a Dail seat? Not that many travelers in Europe so what exactly does he hope to achieve there?

    EDIT - with him on the single use plastics, but again - is that as much of an issue for Europe? Most western European countries already recycle more than Ireland does.

    Irish travellers roam Europe each summer. The Rathkeale Rovers really get about these days.

    Sinn Fein are nowhere near ultra-Marxist.

    Why do people go to all the bother of writing things like this when they clearly don't know what they mean?

    That on its own is a reason to vote for him. ;-)
