I think I'll do the same

Its not that rediculous with the highest MRSA rate in Europe, people left on trollys in A&E and waiting list times. It all adds up.

Ah yes, and the magical fix all fairy that SF have trapped knows exactly how to fix these problems, but they're just not telling anyone, the crafty beggars. :rolleyes:


Not one of you would put up with it if bertie said tomorow that raising taxes by 10% would fix the country. What makes you think SF will be any different . But sure arent they the only truely good people in the country, the only ones who care about anyone and are in this for the people and not for themselves at all.

Yes, I have. It was quite a while ago. Have you heard of Omagh? (Don't get me wrong; I wouldn't vote for Paisley either, given the option). I just don't see the point in supporting bigoted murderers, tbh. If SF even had a static and rational political orientation, it wouldn't be so bad, but combining nationalism with a sort of Marxism-for-stupid-people?

The obvious solution is for both countries to abandon all claims to the place. The terrorists will hardly blow people up in Dublin and London demanding to be let into the UK or Ireland, after all.

I've seen nothing to convince me that Sinn Feinn and the various flavours of nationalist terrorist are any different. Really, why do you support these people?

Have you even considered what a mess a united Ireland would be? The cost, the confusion, the MAJORITY OF THE NORTH WANTING TO BE A PART OF THE UK? Integration of incompatible health systems, prison systems, police forces?

And what does that last comment mean? Are you confirming that SFs vague pseudo-socialist babble is just a front, to be dropped when it's of no more use to them?

No, Christian Solidarity would be even worse than good old terror-tastic sinn fein.

That's really not an acceptable statement. Replace "Christian" with "Muslim" and you have a highly unacceptable statement. It's really no better than racism, and completely ignorant of the fact that all the major parties in this country hold Christianity as their creed (we're a pluralist State folks, not secular); that as a State we have extremely Christian principles (from social welfare right down to monogamy); and that the majority of people still attend a Christian church at least once a year.[/QUOTE]

SF have five seats now, if the local & eu elections are anything to go by a SF-FF coalition could be.

Going by the local and EU elections Fine Gael will have more seats than Fianna Fáil in the next Generals, as they're within ten local seats and have more European seats. But this isn't going to happen. SF will stay around five seats. Fianna Fáíl are expected to lose in the region of a dozen seats, which puts a coalition completely out of the question.

The way you use "Sinn Fein". As if Larry O'Toole or Mary Lou Mc Donald go around with baseball bats and guns to get money.

No, but as a party who up until very recently did not recognise my government or police force, whose bulk of supporters fail to support said government, who openly declare to a "special relationship" with a paramilitary organisation, whose leadership has been stated publically by my Minister for Justice as the leadership of this said paramilitary organisation, whose campaign workers have been time and time again convicted of heinous acts and (in my eyes) failed to be reasonably disciplined, and who have a convicted gun-runner sitting my Dáil I taint Mary Lou "the murder of Gerry McCarthy" McDonald and all the rest of you non-democrats as scum and unfit for any form of public office.

When has Sinn Féin ever blowin [up] children?

Sinn Féin as an organisation have never actually gone and blown up children. But their members and special relations in the IRA and counterparts have done it many times.

What's this, a Shinner reffering to the 26 counties as something that Fine Gael declared in 1949?! Gasp, shock, horror. Yes, we've heard of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings and everything else. But we've also heard of legitimate force and democratic governance. Have you ever heard of that? I guess not.

Omagh was bombed by the Real IRA. And Paisley's DUP would be welcome in the Eire Nua -New Ireland context, all political parties of Ulster would be welcome to get involved in an all Ireland structure.

But you're not willing to accept his democratic mandate yet, no?

And as for Marxism, well you can forget about that when the time comes.

Why other parts of your doctrine will be forgotten if you get into government? How about welcoming the DUP?

Sinn Fein will win the next General Election, because nobody under 40 years old votes anymore.

8,000 (?) members of Young Fine Gael disagree with you. And an equivalent number of Ógra Fianna Fáil. And, well, stop talking sh*ite.

Only Sinn Finn members and their many many supporters.

What, 6% of the Republic or something? Get off it. That means 94% of the voting public don't vote for you and you say that Shinners vote in greater numbers than average.

No, we're secular.

Christian Solidarity are weird fundamentalists; read their manifesto. They want a christian state. I wouldn't approve of Khomeini running either, you know.

Welcome to the Real World www.sinnfein.ie

And have you actually READ this stuff, axtra? It's completely nonsensical. They want a mixture between a utopian anarchy, a utopian true democracy, a utopian free market and a utopian totalitarianism. It's NONSENSE; it's just a cover story for their major policy of blowing people up, terrorising, stealing, and altogether having a little power trip for themselves.

Tho Adams also looks creepily like Rolf Harris.

I think Adam's singing "House Of The Rising Sun" would be an awesome spectacle.
