Presidential Election 2025

Yeh, shock horror, She spoke on the effect of sanctions in a debate about a motion on sanctions.

Terrible woman altogether.

I suspect her candidacy will suffer because of Higgins and also the left has problems in their own constituencies they didn't have just 7 years a go around sensitive issues. She'd just be more of the same mould of the pompous, holier than thou, champagne socialist preaching from upon high that Higgin's represents. I think many people are tired of that after 14 years tbh.

By blaming the US for issues they weren't involved in and looking for sanctions to be removed on the baseless idea that Assad would be there forever.

People can just read this, Francie. They don't need you to try and pretend she didn't say it.

But anyway, the second SF announce whatever fossil or person they want out of their current position they're going to run, you'll be supporting them rather than defending Connolly. So why bother wasting your time now?

See above.

If you can't see that from her comments, you either have an issue with reading comprehension or an issue in ignoring stuff you don't want to see. Decide which.

Other than her own words, you mean.

You do a damn good job of proving my point.

Connolly endorsed claire daly in the MEP elections, daly is very outspoken about her support for murderous dictators like putin and assad, that and her voting record speak for themselves about her beliefs so id find it hard to believe connolly would actively endorse daly if she did not tacitly hold the same beliefs. She also didn't say a word against daly after it was revealed she had facilitated contact between the omagh bomber and russian intelligence services which is outrageous after publicly endorsing her.

No, 

blaming

 the US instead of the the ones 

actually

 responsible is pig-headed anti-westernism. 

She very clearly pointed at the Assad regime and did not at any point take a side.

Maybe talk to the victims of the US's interventions, see how far you get with watering down their 'bombing people into the acceptance of gifts'.

Connolly cited Amnesty's reports on both Assad and US led forces in Syria.

A while ago you told us US led forces were not in Syria - do you still hold to that?
Is this an invention/lie?

Syria: Unprecedented investigation reveals US-led Coalition killed more than 1,600 civilians in Raqqa ‘death trap’

What was the debate about?

Also by that logic why is she mentioning anything about "US led" forces actions, as they have nothing to do with sanctions.

Ah, so she mentioned something not specifically related to the sanctions?
I guess that rules out everyone who contributed to the debate from being President. Because they all spoke about things not related specifically to sanctions and gave their understanding of the situation in Syria and why it was the way it was. Normal debating in the Dáil in other words.

Connolly and the likes of Wallace and Daly are absolutely clear that the US and the West are to blame for everything.

They want Ukraine to roll over and being overrun by Russia, they want dictators like Assad and the Ayatollahs to be left alone by the West to oppress their own people.

Hyperbolic generalisations.
A word of warning/advice.

If you want to throw that kind of sensationalist dirt at Connolly during the campaign, be careful it doesn't blow back in your face.

A woman with a career long record of speaking out for the oppressed and marginalised attacked on false grounds will appeal to an awful lot of the Irish electorate.

Yes I read what you said.

The debate on sanctions veered off sanctions in many contributions.

Connolly veering off is some sort of career defining atrocity with you though.

It's sensationalism for the sake of it.
