Would You Actually Vote for Bertie Ahern if He Ran For President?

The Volt

He's got a very likeable character about him, the common touch yada yada yada but the man is a crook who spends most of his time wining and dining, he now spends more time writing for the Sunday World than he does in the Dail :mad:

With the rumour circulating that he's considering running for president would you actually give him your vote?

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!

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.

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

My name is URL

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

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

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.

I hear Declan Ganley is considering running for president!

walshb

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

Jazzy

isnt he that crook?

genericguy

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

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

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

rednik

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

ninja 12

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

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

Bit late, but anyway, no.
