Ran The Fianna Failer from the Door...hope he's not elected.

stevejr · 11-02-2011 12:32AM #1

Since all this election business started I've been adamant that I would never vote Fianna Fail ever again...also because I did not want to hear from any of their candidates I put a large sign up on my front door saying:

NO Fianna Fail Candidates or election material welcome

Had this young Fianna Fail candidate come to door earlier...I pointed to the sign and told him to fuck off and closed the door....Fingers crossed he's not elected. Anyone else give them some well-deserved feedback.

I'd hardly call that feedback.

That's the spirit. Attack the young ones sure. They're the ones to blame after all.

Fair play. You sound like a real big man. Guess which one of you has guts... The young FF canvasser or the anyone but FF high -horse?

Stupid thread is stupid. I'm hard I told the fianna fail candidate to **** off... No wonder this country is ****ed *rollyeyes*

It was a quip. I was quipping. I'm a quipping man.

I'm glad that youngsters are politically engaged and I'd only give TD's a bollocking on the door, assuming I could have the nerve to deliver said bollocking. I'm sad that youngsters are politically engaged with an endemically corrupt party, but then most are.

A big man right here...

Fianna Fáil supporters tolerate, justify and downplay corruption. They're probably in the game just to be the next Haughey or Ahern. If they had any conscience, they wouldn't support that party. OP, you were correct to do what you did. Personally, if I get a canvasser, I'll ask why they are supporting that party and then I'll offer a history lesson if I get any "republican party" waffle. I won't use any bad language or anger but I'll inform that person that what he is supporting is rotten to the core.

oppenheimer1 · 11-02-2011 12:51AM

OP, how do you walk with such a large pair of balls??:rolleyes:

krudler · 11-02-2011 12:58AM

If the OP had welcomed the canvasser in for tea then he'd be accused of supporting those country ruining gobsh1tes.

cant win.

FF canvassers don't have guts (not counting Cowen's beer gut).

They don't have any shame either.

They do have brass necks, thick skins and ducks backs though.

BTW, after Brian Lenihan's €10 billion postponed bank bailout stunt I have lost whatever reluctant respect I had for the man. Lenihan, Martin, and the last few bedraggled FF rats that haven't yet jumped ship (wearing their taxpayer-funded well-inflated pension life-jackets) can do us all a favour: FOAD.

If only FF had extended you the same courtesy before they landed you in perpetual debt. No please, no thank you, just bail my mates in Anglo.

desaparecidos · 11-02-2011 01:10AM

For months the majority of users were describing how they would react angrily to FF canvassers, describing all sorts of things they would say or do to them.

Someone actually does (in real life) what many said they would do, cue the majority of users berating and sneering at the act.

GLaDOS · 11-02-2011 01:16AM

I've seen posts attacking anyone who voted FF getting loads of thanks here in the last year or so, makes you laugh.

I don't agree with what the OP did, but I certainly don't blame him.

When he called to the door, he should have made him Stand and Deliver... eh... an apology on behalf of the party...?

It's late. I'm tired.

As a Fiann Failer, he probably would have replied, "Your money, or your life".

Be fair, that was 2 weeks ago. Since Michael Martin took over, they're kinder gentler and have changed for the better.

No I did not speak to him like that to feel better about myself. Please don't presume to know me on the basis of my OP...it's beneath you, who as a poster I previously respected.

The reason I reacted that way is that:

A) This person represents an organisation who have condemned this country to many years of hardship and deserves my disdain.

Its my property, when somebody has been told that there not welcome and knocks on my door, F*** OFF is a well measured response.

C) How a person treats another person is based on how they are treated by the other person, Fianna Fail have shat all over this country and I think my response will be one of the milder ones their candidates will receive.

Sticky_Fingers · 11-02-2011 01:47AM

I don't get the hate the OP is getting. He posted a clear sign saying no FFer's allowed on his property for campaigning purposes. This fella clearly chose to ignore it and therefore got a deserved bollocking over it.

It appears you have difficulty separating the person from the organisation. Telling a canvasser to **** off says more about you really. What was wrong with politely telling the caller that you didn't want to be disturbed and you wouldn't be voting FF? It would have the same effect, but you wouldn't look like a gob****e.

Ran The Fianna Failer from the Door...hope he's not elected.
