This is not anti SF, it's simply how they do it. Rarely do they get it wrong - water charges was one example as the Belfast mandarins didn't quite get it. FG should have done this long ago to get SF to start answering. Their tds, senators and councillors have many many cobwebs. SF search historical matters, everyone else should do the same. Maybe people who currently think SF are ready to govern will start seeing who they actually are.

To make matters worse, they now have another sitting TD making social media gaffs:https://m.independent.ie/irish-news/politics/andrews-in-apology-for-anti-trans-tweets-likes-39830416.html To accuse that young woman of lying without any basis is just plain weird also. You don't have defend everything a party does. It's ok to disagree with some things that your favourite party does, it doesnt make you a traitor.

The cheek of the hooers, getting in the face of a free state citizen, ( or deniable intimidaton , have your pick , it is a free state the last time i looked). Everyone knows the truth.

If he stands by (and defends) his his Provo tweet then the temperature really will be turned up Sounds like he's already finished as the Chairperson of the PAC anyway, so he's toast.

Brendan Bendar wrote: » That would be my opinion too, like a lot of the Shinners they like to butter on both sides of their bread.Like Cullinane, exulting as how they ‘broke the bastard State’ but not afraid to take the States wedge. Then Stanley after two despicable tweets expects to hold a position as Chairman of the PAC. Who do these tossers think they are? Do they think they think people are idiots. Or are they depending on the people who can’t see through their flimsy tactics.

Another would be the ability to understand and accept a balance of powers, something he is incapable of doing. Toys out of pram comes to mind. Plenty of other things, also which he doesn't have. Character. The ability to compromise. And so on.. People are known to have a massive dislike for cronyism (that's an understatement) etc. as it is often associated with corruption.

Reality: Bunch of RA heads singing up the RA on getting elected. Convicted terrorist sitting in the Dail pocketing 90k a year. TDs tweeting homophobic and transphobic crap. TDs glorifying terrorism. Anti vaxer TDs criticising the HSE over vaccines. TDs ignoring and encouraging the ignoring of restrictions during a pandemic to go to the funeral of one of their own. Etc etc I do feel bad for poor floating voters like Francie though. So embarrassed at being duped into believing SF were a credible alternative to government and not a bunch of backwards RA heads that they must spend every waking hour defending these backwards bull**** artists for fear of having to accept they voted for utter gob****es.
