Yeah, he's impressive. Voted for him myself though in fairness, there wasn't a wide choice.

Great protest vote, shame about a lot of their policies.

What could be worse than the last 13 years I ask? Incompetent, useless, corrupt, good for nothing bast@rds than have destroyed this country and sold it's sovereignty. Pulled out it's heart and given it to our new ECB/IMF Overlords. After all that, some people are wary of trying an alternative approach or policy? or a new beginning? What does it take? Nothing could be worse than what has just happened to this little nation. Our only chance to make them pay for what they've done is at the ballot box, so think long and hard.

Some of their ideas are reminiscent of 80's Ireland which wasn't a particularly nice place either so, it really isn't that much of a new beginning, more a throwback to previous failed policies. I know some wouldn't be aware of tax policies eg. in the 80's.

But in the General Election I'll weigh all the manifestos up and decide.

Cowen defends Budget and plans to lead FF into oblivion

Oranage2 · 08-12-2010 07:06PM

Brian Lenihan has been nothing but a cancer on our fiancial department, the chap should apoligies then step down

bleg · 08-12-2010 07:11PM

Why didn't he apologise any time in the last 24 months. Is there any sort of game changer coming up that would lead him to do this?

Some sort of General Election by any chance?

Chancer.

I feel more sorry for someone (you) who couldn't be arsed to remember the name Pearse Doherty TD, who you accuse of "mouthing off" but you can remember a sh*tbags name & say he looked "sad"..

I'd rather see the fvckers looking sad hanging from a cherry picker tbh.

I hope SF put Pearse Doherty's speech up on youtube - I find the man inspiring.

This tells us a lot more about your state of mind than anything else. Luckily the entire political system is devised to keep extremists like you out of power. Say whatever you want about FF polices but murdering political opponents is for scumbags and little Hitlers. You have shown your true colours for all of us to see.

TheZohanS · 08-12-2010 07:24PM

Brian Cowen you lying scumbag you can fùck right off with your apology and Brian Lenihan you are only one step above that cretinous Cowen, if you had any balls at all you would have challenged that fùckwitt Cowen and wrote off Anglo from day one.

Both of you cùnts are equally responsible for this mess and covering up for your builder cronies that you entertained over in your tent at the Galway Races. Now both of you and Fianna Fail can **** right off, traitors to the country and the people.

You should be fùcking ashamed of yourselves.

Awful_Bliss · 08-12-2010 07:26PM

Jesus that was a very sincere apology Brian Cowen and even if you did mean it it's several years too late. I've never heard anyone that angry when they had to apologise. That other prick Bertie Ahern should apologise but he's too busy hiding in his little worm hole to do that.

On Brian Lenihan's cancer. It's almost been a year since he announced he had it and doesn't he look well for someone who supposedly has it?

Where the hell do you get off calling me a "little Hitler"?.. (I'm actually not little at all)

And whats up, too cowardly to come right out and call me a scumbag too, so you vail it with clap trap?.

Cowan is only sorry cos he was caught.

As you know, personal insults are a grounds for a ban on boards.ie-I wouldn't want to give you that power trip.

I stand by my statement-calling for people to be hanged or murdered is for scumbags and little Hitlers. I'm sure any right thinking person will agree, regardless of how angry they justifiably feel about the goverment's handling of the banking crisis.

Sorry to break up the hate fest, but I try to be rational and not engage in Ian Paisley politics.

lol, your an FF supporter aren't you?.. The lack of courage for your convictions gave the game away.

Sorry, but your party is going down ol' skin.

Ah the classic 'If you don't agree with my HATE, you must be FF' line. Extremists tend to come out with this when challenged on their violent beliefs. Do you seriously think you can offer a real alternative with this type of thinking?

What lack of courage for convictions are you talking about? Your logic baffles me. And I'm not FF at all, not by a long shot. I just don't engage in BNP style pond life, foaming at the mouth, pitchfork politics.

I'll be delighted to see FF out, but not to be replaced by people calling for hangings and murders. I'd rather we didn't replace chancers with scum, thank you very much.

Right, all joking aside.. I actually don't like to fall out online with people I'll later laugh with over something else.

The cheery picker line was a laugh at the lad in his cheery picker yesterday, and not a call for murder or any bodily harm to anyone.. Its all craic, ok!.

Now where were we... Cowen & Co. and their apologises - tbh, they can stick 'em. I don't believe for a moment they've too many people fooled any longer.

And for the record, I'm a former FF voter - but it'll be a freezing cold day in hell before I vote FF again.

Had a big long chat with a long time FF supported some weeks ago. Guy was infuriated with the current government, foaming at the mouth about how we have to get them out. The when I asked who he would vote for in the next election he hesitated. "Well I don't know what I'm going to do in the next one, we've a fierce nice fellah here" - that's constituency and personality politics for you- it should be set up in a way where people decide on the basis of party policies.

Seán O'Rourke's interview with Brian Cowen on today's News at One on RTÉ Radio 1 was something else. He was giving out to Cowen for allegedly refusing to apologise: "There's no word of heartfelt apology from you". Cowen got down on the radio equivalent of his knees so much (for almost 3 minutes) that by the end of it O'Rourke had the nerve of saying "let's not waste time on apologies!" :rolleyes:

Go to 12.20 here for the start.

All these 'sorries' reminded me of this scene (3.23) from Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangelove (1964).

President: I'm sorry too, Dimitri. I'm very sorry. Alright you're sorrier than I am but I'm very sorry as well....

He sounds super p*ssed off in that interview. Now he knows how we feel.

Mr Benevolent · 08-12-2010 09:26PM

Personally I'm sickened by SF's attempts to ingratiate itself into Irish people's minds. God knows what'd happen if SF got into power, but I can guarantee it'd be much, much worse than having FF, FG or Labour (the union rimjob experts) in power.
