Haughey family

Finally a government without this corrupt family included.

If I had my way all of your families assets would have been seized years ago, and your oul fellow stuck against a wall and butchered.

Not much point in doing that.

He's already dead.

Funnily enough, I was reading an article in this week's FT and they cited a old quote by Haughy's opponents...

'If he were killed by driving a dagger through the middle of his heart, and buried at the centre of some rural crossroads in the middle of the night, you'd still have a clove of garlic around your neck just in case.'

Somebody with the surname Haughey running for election in Ireland is a national insult..might as well have somebody called Hitler running for office in Germany.

Ah come on now. At least Hitler had his countries best interests at heart.

CH did more for this country than everyone in Fine Gael put together. Ya he was corrupt but at least he made this country a better place. He wasn't a career politican like Enda or he wasn't claiming a teachers pension. He set up the IFSC and brought actual jobs to the country. I agree that no one should be elected just cause their father was in government. Was slightly sickened today to hear that theirs been a MacElistrim in the Dail in Tralee North since the Dail begann except for 9 years. That's bull.

I am glad to hear that that piece of S..T is finally out of a job.
Whatever about Fianna Fail, Mac Ellistrim was totally useless, totally incompetent and just a mammy's boy who in his own words "dont like speaking in public" Did you ever hear such s..t from a politician.
A total retard.

Never heard of him but he seems like a fool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAaHuNo3vyo

I must admit his sister is rather cute (google results). I'd give her one (tho not on the ballot of course).

Likening Charlie Haughey to the greatest tyrant of the 20th Century is a bit ridiculous, in fairness. Kind of an overreaction there.

Stalin was the greatest tyrant of the 20th Century. Check their finals scores.

CH was far less corrupt than Bertie Ahern and CH did far more for this country. That chap should go dance on Berties face if he wants to protest about something.

bonerm · 26-02-2011 08:55PM

Actually come to think of it Mao probably outscored the two of them.

Whatever. The point still stands. Comparing Haughey to Hitler is ludicrous.

Yeah, Haughey's gun importing business never matched Hitler's arsenal .

I'm not sure if this is meant to be sarcastic or something. Haughey might have had guns imported, but the situation in Northern Ireland is not really comparable to genocide committed by a dictator.

Of course it was being sarcastic...;)

McEllistrim was the most useless politician that North Kerry ever had. He wasn't even cut out to be a councillor. The end of another FF dynasty, thank God.

The sad thing is that he's apparently thinking that he's going to make it as a senator, so the sooner they abolish the Seanad, the better off we'll be, keeping his lazy-arsed ilk out of politics.

Only because the other Prick Bertie told him he was going to write a book in the future and could he help him out.

cc4life · 26-02-2011 10:20PM

lads im not exactly the brightest at politics but why do people hate haughey so much?

Zebra3 · 26-02-2011 10:20PM

CJH was a great Irish patriot.

Sure didn't Bertie say so? :rolleyes:
