David Norris for President....would you vote for him?

Yeah Senator Norris has my number one vote. Hopefully he will get in, it will show we can take in progressive politics in this contry.

Sounds like your hoping Norris will invite you up the Áras, are you sure your young enough ?

Considering you post on the Christianity forum mostly, its no surprise you're so interested in underage gay sex.

i'm not trollling, am far from a homophobe and can weirdly see the sense in his controversial comments on young boys (assuming he was quoted out of context) - but there is no way in the world i would like to see this guy be our president.

for a start - he's just too bloody camp. gay is fine, camp is not. second, all he is is an 'intellectual' who managed to sponge off the senate for years - he has contributed very little to society and certainly not enough for our society to give him our highest praise by electing him to this position. i just dont see him having the gravity and presense of person needed to be our head representaive abroad and at home.

no...i have a certain amount of respect for him but he's just too god damn eccentric to be a head of state to take seriously...a bit like if Donal Trump was elected president of the US...you'd laugh at him first then wonder what the hell the yanks were playing at.

Contributed very little? He got homosexuality decriminalised. the fact that this was only achieved in 1992 is embarassing beyond belief. that in itself is massive

He is active in promoting Irelands great achievements in literature, something that would serve a head of state very well when representing Ireland abroad if only to confound the stereotypes. He has been a champion of human rights for decades. these are also things you can atribute to Michael D.

Gravitas and presence is something he has in spades

his accent is genuine. posh, but genuine.
No hie didnt, and the paper that said he did were forced to publish a retraction and apologyno he doesnt, another bit of media spin. He addresses both allegations in a video on his site. its the top on on the Ask David tab.

fair enough. I can only go by what I see/hear

He is NO way plagues people with his sexuality, I sincerely hope you're looking at the right website and not the one organised by Enoch Burke who has devised a website that looks for all intents and purposes like it's actually the site from David Norris, that does nothing but go on and on about it.

I was on this site, http://www.davidnorris4president.com, so I went by that one.

Why does he insist on plaguing people with his sexuality?
I see a lot of people pulling the homophobia card out though if somebody doesn't agree with it. It's not my cup of tea but I am friends with gay people.


Thats exactly how i found him too. However others who met him and who have posted here didn't seem to see that at all.

oh did you not hear the news? you're a homophobe now if you say the word "gay" apparently. it's fucking ridiculous how much people play that card. its the new racism.

He doesn't flaunt anything, neither does he hide it. He just is who he is.

I'm sorry but you do come across as homophobic. Would have a problem with a straight couple embracing or kissing or being affectionate in public.

If not then why do you feel that way about same-sex couples.

I've read some of your posts on this topic and you are absolutely the most one-sided person I've ever seen. Are you even open to others opinions? Do you read whole posts or just read what you want to read? I said I have a problem with straight people doing the same and you call me homophobic. If that's homophobic then I'm homophobic. (I have friends who are gay BTW). Get a grip and stop trying to be the perfect PC citizen because you really aren't. I suppose I'm a homophobe solely because I wouldn't vote for him yeah? :rolleyes:

Absolutely. Last week he arrived and knocked at my door. Putting down a boom box he - wearing nothing more than a short leather skirt and rather dapper pair of thigh high boots - began to do the finale of riverdance, screaming "I'm Gay, Gay, Gay".

Imagine what might result from such flagrant in your face gaying. Already I've had to restrain myself from washing and putting on a nice shirt.

another thanks whore. I read the website and publications about him, I can only suss him out by what I'm given. I'm not going to say he's the man for the job just because he's gay. I fucking swear to god I'm sick of people playing that homophobia card. Would you vote for him if he wasn't so controversial?

He seems a bit too eccentric to be our president and I don't think he'll represent the ROI in the way it needs to be. I certainly won't be voting for him. What pisses me off is that so many idiots will jump on the bandwagon now to show that we are a "progressive" nation. If anything it's a step backwards because people find it necessary to vote in a gay president now. Fucking wrecks my head knowing that it's the only reason they'd vote for him. I'm certainly leave if the country turns to this.

have you got a problem? don't be a smarta$$ on here, say something if you have something relevant to say:rolleyes:

no problem at all. On the contrary Im delighted for you and support you in this endevour.

I also think it would be an awefull thing to vote for someone because theyre gay. The only thing i could think of thats worse is not voting for someone thats gay based on whats said on a website that claims

David has embraced a lifestyle which is blatantly out-of-line with traditional biblical morality.

I wouldn't vote for him because he annoys me and his lack of judgement in maing the comments he did shows a lack of diplomacy which is one of the few things an Irish president needs in spades.
