I am deeply ashamed

Have the Irish people learned nothing?

Only in Ireland would a sleazoid like Gallagher get so many votes.

Because Ireland is the only country in the world with dodgy candidates?

Their the same people who voted for lowry and healy rae.

hondasam · 28-10-2011 11:53PM

The election is over now, move on.

MistyCheese · 28-10-2011 11:55PM

Well, don't blame me, I voted for Bosco.

HellFireClub · 28-10-2011 11:57PM

They're coming, I can hear the heavy footsteps and the rattle of keys

Absurdum · 28-10-2011 11:58PM

what's all this about an election? there's no mention of it anywhere on boards.ie

We need some sex scandles.

They probably just wanted a guy for President with a head that looks like a thumb.

I'm personally glad I won't have to see him too much more. He puts me off my dinner.

Badgermonkey · 29-10-2011 12:01AM

Cos superficially, folks recognised a bit of themselves in him - Young, married, mortgage, kids, a go-getter blah blah...and bizarrely place a greater weight on that than the fact the man had no record of public service.

Methinks we owe Martin McGuinness & Pat Kenny a pint.

Stained Class · 29-10-2011 12:02AM

Well, wasn't he better than Mc Guinness?

Voting for him would be much worse of a shame.

I didn't vote for him either BTW.

Having no record of public service is a huge asset these days. What caught him out was having a Louth accent and being a Fianna Fail trouserman.

He looks like a gigantic thumb that someone dotted eyes on with a pen & a mouth with lipstick.

God almighty! People have mushy jelly brains and are easily fooled. FF could win the next dail election even after all the lies and deceit, years of running this country on brown envelopes and all the damage they have done.

What will it take for people to wake up to FF.

At least the germans became wise after hilter.

professore · 29-10-2011 12:07AM

FFS. You'd swear the other candidates actually had something to offer. If Sean Gallagher is at international meetings he's the only one of them that could attract investment here since he understands business. Can you say that about Michael D, or any of the rest of them?

It's nothing to do with FF BTW.

patwicklow · 29-10-2011 12:07AM

Well we the people were the Dragans this time........ Were out

Only funding he can get is from enterprise Ireland on request by his ff buddies. You've been conned you should do some research before you make a statement.

29-10-2011 12:11AM

Chances are, he'd be in if it wasn't for Sinn Fein those pesky kids!

Collecting donations for Fianna Fail. A card carrying member of the party since youth. Ran a business off the back of the building boom which was fuelled by Fianna Fail's tax breaks. Then handed a job from them as a board member of FAS.

It has quite a lot to do with Fianna Fail... far too much for most people's likings.

cloneslad · 29-10-2011 12:14AM

plus he looks like my mate roy (but with a shaved head) and I wouldn't trust Roy to tie my laces, let alone be president

Well McGuinness could threaten to have them "dissappeared" if they dont invest. Wasnt it all the rage in the past. But sure whats a bit a terrorism when someone else was once a member of FF.

He's struggled to find investment for his own businesses, so I wouldn't place much faith in him doing it for the entire country.

I don't think he's the knight in shining armour you were hoping for. He's more of a chancer/fraud/FF-type.

No you didnt, your talking ****e to overdramatise a non event.

At the end of the day it wouldnt have made a difference if we had airlifted Gaddafi out before he was caught and made him president.

Ahem. Let's not totally lose fúcking perspective here. When it comes to electing a sleaze bag, a crook, a gangster, a briber, a blackmailer, a racist, a chauvinist, an exploiter of vulnerable female teenagers and so much else, the Italian electorate leave the Irish and every other electorate in Europe in absolute awe.

Nobody in Irish political life since the foundation of the state - not even Charles Haughey, Pee Flynn, Bertie Ahern, Ray Burke, Michael Lowry and Liam Lawlor - is as big a crook, gangster, pig and embarrassment to this country as Berlusconi is to any moderately intelligent Italian.

Just read this link for an extensive list of Berlusconi's "controversies" including mafia and other criminal connections.
