    my mistake

    it wasnt multiple choice. i was merely stating the fact that those who joined the ira where brave soliders who put their life on the line for their country

    Call my great grand father a terrorist and i will pop you in jaw:D
    The irony most of these people relations from the past were IRA sympathizers and also helped and hid and were apart of IRA lol:D

    Sinn Féin,the one thing i have an issue with is the pension reserve fund,but i am going to have a talk with someone about that during the week to see what they intend to protect those people with instead.

    sf support terrorist,not talking about what happened before that,you well know this,all all people in ireland had family who fought in civil war,but what the IRA terrorists after wards in 70's onwards was terrorism with there political wing sf there too support them ,so please ,spare the excuses, till the day sf dont support IRA etc,then people will consider as a whole maybe a party that will do good ,but right now,they dont,no policy's put forward that work .there votes will only come from there supporters mainly

    I think you maybe wrong there ,it'll be the first time I'll be voting for them ,I've never been a supporter of any political party but the way I see it if you vote anyone else in ,it's just going to be carry on as we left off
    The last shower fianna failures have us lubing up for the unforeseeable future and I can't see anyone except sf or ula changing it

    i would consider voting for any of the established parties who through their fear of the ira. allowed the gardai to assault suspected ira members during interrogation, who collaborated with britsh security forces to murder innocent irish people they suspected of being members of the ira and even covered up the bombing of monaghan and dublin. when these parties (f.g f.f and lab) admit to these cowardly acts i might just might consider voting for them

    Links?

    If as you say they were brave soldiers. These soldiers were fighting in a war. Would it follow that some of the actions that these soldiers took during that war could legitimately be labelled war crimes?

    Sad thing is SF getting "protest" votes from people who are pissed off with FF, rather than people thinking their policies will work.

    If you took the "protest" voters out of the SF counts, I reckon you'd remove half the SF vote.

    If SF gain in this election (which I assume they will), I lay the blame squarely with FF and the Greens. Doherty, in fairness to him, has jumped all over the disaster that FF left in Donegal by not sorting out that by-election. Adams is a weakness in that party, so hopefully the media will keep at him for sound-bites over the next two week to pull their vote back down.

    Those who live in the past are doomed to repeat it.

    If this country doesn't implement major societal & political & economic reform, we are just going to keep getting sucked under.

    The SF manifesto, and that of the ULA, are the only ones that seem to state that fundamental change is needed and is what they seek.

    With Lab, FG & FF it would be business as usual.

    So put it behind you. The Country has moved on. But we need to keep moving on.

    If you don't agree with their policies, fair enough, but play the ball, not the man.

    And what about Eamon's dodgy links and FG's Nationalist Socialist overtures, and well FF, we all know about them.

    What they have managed to get the whole lot of us into will soon be seen for what it is.

    when sinn fein doesnt support or sell IRA crap ,then people can look at sf more seriously ,till then they are no good for this country,using the pension fund will not help this country,they need more experience too know better ,maybe 10 years,they might

    People are taking them quite seriously already and have done for some time.

    They will get a very significant vote.

    Lots of people and parties could be seen as 'no good for the country'.

    As for the Pension Fund, I would have thought it would have to help us at some stage.

    I wonder what state the old place will be in in ten years?

    If it is completely fcuked, it won't be the fault of Sinn Fein.

    And btw my first vote will not be going to them.

    Just so you know.

    gf?:confused:

    I ain't your girlfriend :P

    It's true there may not be many stand out candidates, except for Ming, but you have to go for the right one that's there.
    Don't leave it until you go into the booth to decide.
    Inform yourself and do what you think is right.

    so vote SF if there's no independent socialist/ULA candidate:pac::pac::pac:

    What? Not Government material?

    What passes for 'government material' in this country lately has been of a whole lot lower standard than this chap.

    Pearse had peter matthews f.g agreeing with him,Even cormac lucey ex P.d's said that the only party to take on the vested intrest's and the people that have destroyed the country are Sinn fein and he is no friend of the party.

    o boy,fg agreed with sf Dorthy,big deal and this makes a difference,sf need policys that work
    sf need too stop supporting IRA,
    sf needs policy's that we know will work instead of the blaming game
    no lame excuse needed for sf, policy's that we know will work,not taking pension fund is a solution

    :eek:

    You thought that I would vote for Fine Gael?

    You and SF = Me and FG, maybe.

    But I don't like to go on about it :cool:

    Good luck deciding.

    Hope you do the right thing.
