Isn't it weird the way our glorious leader DeV, a man who is changing the face of Irish Society as we speak, goes by the same moniker as the previous glorious leader who changed the face of Irish Society.

Dev's real name is Bertie?

Man, that's some coicidence.

If it wasn't for the lingering stench of corruption and the bullsh1t stories about winning money on horses and not having bank accounts etc., I would vote for him for president all right. He has all the necessary qualities. And that's from someone who despised him politically.

But I could never vote for him for president after all the stuff that's come to light.

Cthulu for president!

Euro_Kraut · 25-09-2009 12:51PM

Could we elect Obama? Give me a type of dual manadate. Its only a part-time job really.

I voted NO, can I change that to a YES vote.

Not to put Bertie in, but to say I helped Senna kill himself

Kinda cool, a boards.ie suicide bomber.

"Allah Akbar" "Boards.ie is great".

The Irish Presidency is a joke & a waste of money. I say we do away with it altogether

My name is URL · 25-09-2009 01:02PM

Personally I'd rather have my eyes scooped out with a mellon-baller than see him as President

The man is a pathological liar.

Bertie on his grilling by the Mahon Tribunal:

My conscience is a million per cent clear. I just work week-by-week because that's the way it was. I didn't have any money. I still don't have any money.

How do you hold the type of well-paid positions he has for decades without having any money? Nevermind the pensions, the expenses, the dinner speaking circuit. Where has it all gone? He lies so hard in trying to show his innocence that he goes way overboard.

The man lied over knowing the price of a pint of milk. He's a living monument to grievous flaws of Irish politics. And the electorate never gave a ****.

Michael D Higgins would make a way better president.

He's like a kindly uncle. Great public speaker too.

HalloweenJack · 25-09-2009 01:37PM

I would never vote for him. He's the biggest bluffer ever and he still hasn't answered all the questions about his financial past.

K-Ren · 25-09-2009 01:41PM

I think that some sort of foxy alien president of ambigious gender named Kwaglorg The Verile would be an excellent figure-head for the country.

mickdw · 25-09-2009 01:44PM

I hear Declan Ganley is considering running for president!

walshb · 25-09-2009 02:02PM

Well, considering Hillery and Robinson were voted for, why not Ahern?

Jazzy · 25-09-2009 02:04PM

isnt he that crook?

genericguy · 25-09-2009 02:09PM

if he ran he'd get in. and i honestly think that anyone that votes for a man who gave up the job of running the country so he wouldn't have to face the music for the crimes he's guilty of is an absolute cunt.

CianRyan · 25-09-2009 02:23PM

I would, it would be gas like.
God... They should have never let me register to vote.:rolleyes:

Gift Grub saved that mans life.

John Hume for president - the REAL hero of the Northern Ireland peace process. I would definitely vote for him over that Bertie scumbag

rednik · 25-09-2009 03:29PM

I'd give him my vote but only if it was for the Presidency of Zimbabwe.

ninja 12 · 25-09-2009 03:32PM

Reward one of the most corrupt politicians who spent more time collecting brown envelopes full of cash than sitting in the Dail running the country by making them the president of Ireland , I think not - I'd vote NO .

Sirtoyou · 25-09-2009 03:40PM

I wouldn't vote for him for president but I would indicate in all forthcoming polls that I would just on the offchance that he might put himself up for public humiliation and further scrutiny.

Podge2k7 · 25-09-2009 06:43PM

Bit late, but anyway, no.

Jesus Juice · 25-09-2009 07:07PM
