General Election 2016

@Tim_Riggins

You know that your spoof has run its course when you resort to this nonsense

You’re the spoofer. You haven’t made one substantive contribution to the thread. Not once have you made any reasonable point in favour of Fine Gael retaining power, because you know a vote for Fine Gael is a vote for the same economically incompetent policies that bankrupted the state, and a vote to redistribute wealth to those at the upper end of the scale, who just so happen to be mainly Fine Gael voters.

@Funtime

Wtf? @Juhniallio caught on camera holding up a sign and nodding away behind Enda as he lays down to the fg/Labour Party line.

I have also heard a rumour (unconfirmed) that a grand uncle of said poster not only joined o’duffys blue shirts but actually travelled to Spain to fight for fascism / labour. Awaiting confirmation .

I suppose with all the nepotism and cronyism in the family you have long had spotters at the key exit points of the country. #jobsfortheboys

I despise the Labour Party with a passion, but your infatuation with @Juhniallio is creepy to say the least.

@Sidney , are you still supporting SF now that you are aware it’s vice president Mary Lou McDonald gave a public eulogy to a Nazi collaborator who thankfully died roaring from a burst ulcer in a German sub as he was on his way here to implement Nazi ideals into Ireland?

SINN Fein commemorate a Nazi collaborator annually, this makes them quite unique in European politics. That horrible statuette of Sean Russell in Fairview is the only Nazi statue in Europe. The SF party have fought tooth a d nail to have it protected.

[Nembo_Kid]

The Brits were as bad as the Nazi.

@Sidney @nembo_kid are these your people, the Nazi collaborators?

Any chance of a list of ends achievements from 1975-2011?

[Tim_Riggins]

I have given my reasons for not voting for SF.

I have also given my reasons about FF, I don’t trust them to not go in with SF.

Labour are in with the unions and I oppose that.

FG have done a good job and deserve another go.

[Tim_Riggins]

He has risen to the highest office in the land. The IMF have left the state. Unemployment down by 6%. The deficit cut from 30 odd % to less than 2%.

But apparently bloody water charges, which exist all over mainland Europe and were in FG’s last election manifesto, are worthy of getting them out!

RBB though has had a great career, I think I may have made an error earlier. The 63 still runs a couple of times a day through the Farm.

Yatesy calls Mayo 2FG and 2FF

And goes with the consensus on DBN, Bruton McGrath Haughey Mac Donncha and Broughan

[myboyblue]

You couldn’t make this shit up

Election posters for forestry minister Tom Hayes were nailed to trees in Tipperary

[Fagan_ODowd]

As an aside the Government have run a very poor campaign here as have SF. SF are all over the place in delivering their message. FF haven’t run a particularly outstanding campaign, but unlike the Government it has been competent and they have avoided own goals, probably by keeping the focus on Martin who is their most competent performers and keeping some of the dingbats out of the limelight. In an election of blunderers that is serving them well.

[tallback]

Thats a pretty fair assessment. Kenny, Adams and Burton have been average at best.

That’s a rare grammar error on your part

All the leaders have actually damaged their parties bar Martin & some of the lesser lights like Donnelly and RBB.

If I was a labour candidate I’d be crying every time Burton hit the TV screens.

[Fagan_ODowd]

Already corrected but I knew that tfk wouldn’t miss it.

[Matty_Hislop]

It will be interesting to see if FG and their lackeys in the media train their guns on FF in the final week. The relentless attacks on SF have seemingly only bolstered FF.

Still not fully corrected

Too late I reckon.
