Bertie Ahern to be next president?

manlad · 10-10-2009 11:00AM #1

Just reading through the late late thread about bertie and this talk of him becoming the next president of Ireland. You might look at such comments and laugh. But the sad truth is that some of the twats of citizens in this country would vote him in without giving it a second thought.

If lisbon can get passed so easily sure why would we not vote bertie as the next president and even if he doesnt get elected the first time, we'll have another election, cos thats the kind of country we are.:mad:

Bitter much?

He doesn't deserve the position.

its not being bitter but think about it, there was an absolute no vote the first time but they still had another election and when they got the yes vote there was nothing more said. How can so many people change their minds. Most of the population voted without thinking just assuming it was the right thing to do

The most shocking thing is there's people who believe if Bertie was still in power that the country would still be booming, they forget that it was his policies that led to the economy relying solely on the purchase of houses to stay afloat.

drdeadlift · 10-10-2009 11:57AM

put him in jail or make him the president of the country?

wtf like the guy is as bent as a unail

Look, with his bad memory he's lucky to remember where he lives - never mind get him to remember another address for a president house!

i fully agree. Brian Cowen may not be the right man for the job but people have to remember he was left with the scraps of a country thrown from the table of corruption by bertie.

I'd vote for Bertie

mikemac · 10-10-2009 12:06PM

Michael D for President!

Though I think there is some age limit of when you can be elected.
Must go look this up

I am not an activist by any means but if that man runs for president I will take to the streets to campaign against him.

Who would join me?

It's the people who'd vote for Bertie that got us in the mess in the first place. Unfortunately these people have not learned their lesson and have him on some sort of pedestal. I'm genuinely afraid that if he is in the next presidential election he will be elected:(

Ur completely correct......The same mistake was made twice

The last presidential election nobody ran so Mary Mcaleese won by default.
Who's out there to run against him?

Michael D. would make a great President. On the other hand, the presidency could be scrapped as, like the Seanad, it has no purpose in a modern democratic republic.

Just as Seanad Éireann is an Irish version of the British House of Lords, which was insisted upon by the British in December 1921, the position of President is the modern name for the Governor-General, who was the representative of the British monarch in Ireland.

They serve no purpose today; the marginal function of the President signing legislation could be done by a newly constituted Council of State.

Ye can't actually think Enda Kenny would have done a better job?

Yeah, sure we can - he could hardly have done worse than bringing down the economy and saddling future Irish generations with a mountain of crushing debt.

We can't have anyone older than Douglas Hyde, it wouldn't be right......

You'd never know, after president, pope, and who knows there could be an opening for God at that stage....

Old snaggletooth himself was on the Late Late last night. Tubridy should have nailed him Cowen style. He came across alright, made a few jokes, was pretty honest considering his background and he got a big clap at the end.

Bertie for President... FAIL

Indeed. He's the ultimate snake. I wish he would just go away and emigrate

Bertie Ahern to be next president?
