I've waited on you disproving the comparison's, you're not forthcoming with them.

I'm not prepared to go on with the same jig you're dancing.

Hang on a sec you are asking me to prove theres no proof behind your comparison so you can carry on with your accusations with no proof?

Heh that is a straw man

It doesn't cover up your spoofing on the matter
For that you need to back up the accusation I called you out on
You can't

Oh and trying to say my posts were denying the Maurice McCabe story is a lie
My only mention of him was to say there was no comparison with the GP that resigned
It's you making the comparison
Wheres the proof?
Not the spoof

As I said,theres a reason SF mainstream dont go on with this level of spoofing on tv and radio

Again, you've not been paying close enough attention. I never said anything about the HSE or the medical council, I asked the poster who initially brought up the herd immunity point if this was a character assassination attempt as we had seen on the site ref McCabe.

You have come up with a predetermined answer, and will squirm and lie until you get there.

Any mention of govt legal strategies came along when you initially suggested I was spoofing even comparing McCabes treatment and the post I referred to.

This site was chock full of people suggesting McCabe was a disgruntled loose canon when he emerged with his whistleblower claims.

Marcus de Brun quits his post and complains about how the nursing home controversy has been handled. He's a disgruntled GP, "Herd immunity".

State your reasons for disputing the comparison, drop the spoofing claim and we can move on.

I see the troops have been sent out to try and discredit anyone that speaks out against the regime?

Was he the controversial GP that advocated herd immunity? Googled it, seems he wrote something about it alright.

Is he the same GP that quit because of the controversies surrounding the nursing home, of which many govt supporters in this site are agreeing with?

What's the relevance anyway, save for maybe trying to imply he's not credible on the subject?

Bang of Maurice McCabe about this - bit of the auld character assassination Colonel is it?

There are people from both sides who could do with practicing that.

I'd class myself as a SF supporter, no problems stating that. I can and have been critical of them in family discussions and I have no problem giving Leo or FG or FF praise when they do right. I don't understand blind partisan cult like supportership of anything, with the exception of maybe a sports team.

So in your opinion SF can support the caretaker government or they can try form an alternative government (which they have done and are still trying to do), but there is no place for criticism or questioning of the actions and decisions of said caretaker government in order to hold them accountable for their actions? I think there is a name for that type of regime??

Remind me again, how much were FG originally giving to people made unemployed during this pandemic?

Pre election wasn't FG/FF saying a rent freeze was unconstitutional? What happened there?

Need more examples?

In some ways the criticism is almost more important than the actions and decisions of the government...if it is constructive criticism based on facts and provides workable and realistic solutions.
Criticism for the sake of criticising just gets tiresome after a while especially when facts aren't checked and no proper thought is put into the criticism or solutions. This coupled with the constant need for populism is my biggest problem with SF personally.

Ah yes, the last refuge of the defeated Sinn Fein argument - label those who differ as partitionists.

You know it used to upset me, it is both a lie and derogatory, however I have since come to see it as representing QED for dismissal of the latest nonsensical republican argument.

There doesn't seem much interest from any of those parties at being government. If they reject the current proposals I would like to see them finally create an alliance with SF for the next v election.

Otherwise what's the point in them.....

Let's also remember SF said in the debates they also don't believe in a carbon tax, its not all the Healy Rae's.

What people don't appreciate is the opposition by tweet style of politics that some SF TD's are engaging in.
Some are peddling falsehoods and fake news on twitter
Some are peddling fear on twitter
Some are giving out about a possible FF/FG arrangement (while doing nothing to form an alternative may I add)

And that is not even mentioning their vocal MAGA type Trumpian supporters online.

Fine Gael are vastly more like trump than SF. Sure wasn't leo himself joking about fixing wind mill planning permission for the Donald?
