Sunnyisland · 10-06-2011 06:09PM

The last thing this country needs is Gay Mitchell in Phoenix Park trying to push through the Catholic Church's agenda.

Some of the posters on this thread are creaming in their Sunday best just thinking about it.

zuroph · 10-06-2011 06:11PM

What about when they run the final counts

Cox out. Norris out (tell us something we didnt know), Gay's out. Mickeys in.

Tabloids must be creaming themselves at this line up of participants.

OMG! I'M SOOOOOOO VOTING FOR NORRIS!

The closest thing I can think to Ireland having David Norris for president was when we sent Dustin the Turkey to the eurovision..

Sher what harm would it be, wouldn't it be a shake up, a colourful character representing the country, just what we need :rolleyes:

Seriously we're not held that highly in Europe but we'll be laughed at if that twat is our president :eek:

Hey folks! Get a grip. Things could be worse. Cliche I know but ............ as yet not a peep from Twink.

Headline on the front page of today's Irish Daily Mail - "Norris: Campaign in tatters after Mail revelations."

What a horrible rag.

Ha hahaaha. They really are scum.

Look up the mistake they made on the cancer vaccine for girls, over here they were lambasting the government for not getting it, in UK they were lambasting the government for getting it.

Oh dear! According to this extract from the this morning's IT it looks as if he is suffering from some sort of delusion also.

“From March 14th I have behaved like a president and I am behaving more like a president all the time. And I feel I am being drawn towards and growing into the job. What I am asking now is that the councillors and my fellow members of the Oireachtas give me the opportunity to let the people decide.” Mr Norris said that from this weekend on he was not going to be derailed into dealing with every issue raised on the media, as there was now one a day in some newspapers.

What next .......... the people in white coats!

Could you please explain why he's apparently deluded?

OK so.. already we're known and not liked for running the country until it became bankrupt while maintaining a low tax state, then going with the begging bowl out.

If we go on to elect a President who has had interviews published in which he made questionable comments on the age of consent and other sexual activities.. I can see the headlines, is this really the best we can do??

This man's reputation is tainted, as a president he would then taint ours also.

It should be axiomatic if you read the first line and a quarter of his quote. If you want to make some easy bucks Paddy Power is laying 5/4 against Norris securing nomination. That is 125%. How many years in a high interest account to get that?

The only reason france and Germany dont like us is it was their investments failed. the only reason we got a bail out is because it was them that stood to lose, not us. They've pushed their gambling debts on you and me, personally I couldnt give a ****e what they think of our country. We should do as Iceland did and just let the bonds fail, and tell them to sit and swivel.

Norris comments are forward thinking and more in tune with Euro policy than Irish, I think he would do well from them rather than suffer.

Considering recent events, what we really need is a queen....oh, hello!

In all seriousness, an Irish tabloid laid a 'honey-trap' in the mid-90's and wrote to several prominent politicians pretending to be a single mother in dire straits coming up to Xmas.

The only one who replied was Norris...and he also included a £20 note.

He gets my vote.

zuroph · 10-06-2011 08:17PM

obviously trying to groom her child :pac: :rolleyes:

WOW, I did not know that! I do know (cos I worked with them years ago), he worked very closely with disability groups, and one of the women who is severely disabled is an artist and she actually now supports herself, has her own apartment, personal assistants that she pays for etc; She got started because David Norris helped her get there, he got what she needed to get herself started, and as a result of it she is successful and living a life she couldn't necessarily have had without his help.

this article says he has no chance of gettin in with the councils. I think he will get a nomination with the senate and dail tho. Also media attention will be elsewhere for the next few days, a welcome respite for norris.

RonMexico · 10-06-2011 10:48PM

He has my vote. Met him in Limerick a few weeks back. Thought him to be very genuine. If there was more people like him in this country we might not be in the sorry state of affairs we are currently experiencing.
