Sinn Fein or Fianna Fail

dlofnep · 21-11-2010 12:09AM

I'd vote for Sinn Féin, regardless of the current circumstances. Sinn Féin are hard workers ground the ground up and from the locality up. I've never met a Sinn Féin councillor who didn't work their arse off for their constituents.

It's an easy for vote me. Tireless constituency workers, or a shower of bastards who have destroyed our economy. Remember - It was Sinn Féin that warned of the property bubble years ago - But you won't hear that, because anything positive Sinn Féin ever says, they never get credit for.

Where's the "get rid of outdated civil war politics" option?

SF and FF are only good for giving Indo/Sindo hacks something to shíte on about.

Sinn Féin are an absolute joke. I would leave Ireland if they ever got into government. Ignoring the obvious links with terrorism, if you take the time to read their idiotic policies it should be pretty obvious that a kitten with a ball of wool would make better political and economic decisions.

The usual bandwagon jumping FF-bashing, "dey tuk our jobsssss" type responses should really be ignored. Yes they should be voted out next time, but people are fooling themselves if they think things would be vastly different with one of the other legitimate parties (i.e. NOT Sinn Féin) in the past or future. Career politicians will always give people what they want. And people are largely self obsessed and short-term gain focused.

This is the truth. No other party is getting my vote.

I know a good few people that joined Sinn Féin from FF after seeing too much bullshat going on. I have little time for anyone who speaks ill of Sinn Féin nowadays. They're morons imo

jimmycrackcorm · 21-11-2010 01:08AM

Depsite what FF has done to this country I'd vote for them over FF because of this: http://www.sinnfein.ie/contents/19555

Just as well that in reality we have other choices as I'm not going to be voting either, but for this poll I take the devil I know.

Lemegeton · 21-11-2010 01:11AM

both make me sick.

100% but that ira stigma will never leave.Thats why its always ff or fg.One as bad as the other. Its a stupid country. FF are so corrupt they make the Italian Mafia look like Christs Angels on Earth.

kincsem · 21-11-2010 01:35AM

No vote for either, here or in May 2012.

DUP should run in the south, most of their politicians are far better workers than FF, even if i disagree with most of them I admire and respect them a million times over FF...

Sinn Fein are always an easy target for insults from FF supporters who ignored the mass state orchestrated child sex abuse regime, a party that treated woman like **** and had the fanatics and perverts in the church as their advisors and friends.

Kiwi_knock · 21-11-2010 01:41AM

SF mainly because at least they are trying to change people's perceptions of their party. FF are taking a f*ck it approach to their image not caring what people think of them. In my college you see the difference between the two parties at youth level, SF play a very active role while FF do not even have a society on campus. SF I do think in years to come can become a big party in Irish politics if they refine their policies

Very good!

Well, at least I said who I voted for, which, I felt was in the spirit of things.

You, just emerged from the long grass took a cheap shot & basked in the glory of thanks from your fellow travellers.

Good on ya mate.:rolleyes:

Ardennes1944 · 21-11-2010 01:53AM

im not going to explain why i would vote sinn fein because it'd be wasted breath on the morons who will look down on them for no apparent reason. 17% of mad people still left in this country

K-9 · 21-11-2010 02:22AM

I'll vote Pearse Doherty in the bye election and GE, no problem. Capable candidate who'll add to the Dail.

Once it comes anywhere near seeing SF as a majority Govt. party, Nope, I'd vote FF first.

After everything FF have done, I'd still not put SF as the main Govt. party.

So your voting for FF.Good man. Theyve done nothing wrong. Good man.

Well, FF since the 'Charlie Era' at least were always a greedy, power-hungry, but a well organised shower of idiotic fools.

If they were in the Mafia they would be known as the 'Gombono Family'.

On the other hand SF have always been the political wing of the Provisional IRA.

Personally, I'd prefer the idiotic FF'ers in power here than a crowd of murderers like SF/IRA.

Brian Cowen... less so.

Though, I'd rather Adolf Hitler before Sinn Féin. Sin Féin will send the whole country down the toilet. Hitler will only send a small minority.

Brian Lenihan has, essentially, been running the country for the last two years, or so; and the disasterous decisions he's taken make Bertie Ahern and Brian Cowen look like benign visionaries.

Its this way of thinking that has contributed to the current mess

Wrong.

I'm voting for Doherty as I clearly stated, but that was lost on your tarring.

I know many a Shinner, good guys. Never would I let them near Justice or law and order in this state.

Really?

If you look thru my posting history you'll see very fast that I hate FF & SF.

I just hate SF a bit more than FF.

You think you know how I think?

Really?:rolleyes:

Ireland's full of fools, of one persuasion or another.

Unfortunately our past seems to have caught up with us now & I take no pleasure in saying that.

They did back the state guarantee.

Obviously they didn't have a clue of the consequences, but yep, they backed the full state guarantee, bondholders and all.

KnifeWRENCH · 21-11-2010 05:16AM

I think both parties have good eggs and bad eggs; unfortunately it's the bad ones who seem the most prolific.

The idealistic teenager inside me would probably love to see SF in government. And it would certainly be interesting, if nothing else, to see how they'd get on.

But if it was solely a choice between those two, I'd probably have to plump for FF and hope they somehow cop on and don't make the same mistakes again.

Why?

Fianna Fail was once Sinn Fein...

Run_to_da_hills · 21-11-2010 08:45AM

During the troubles there was a serious explosion in Sandymount that demolished a block of apartments at Raglan House. It was obvious that it was caused by a Gas explosion however Dublin Gas would not admit it.

The joke at the time was "Whats the difference between Dublin Gas and the IRA? ....... At least the Provo's would admit it.

Now in 2010 our state has imploded and Fianna Fail won't admit it.

At least I could see Sinn Fein being up front about this problem if they were in power.

Sinn Fein or Fianna Fail
