Mes Amis,

He would not be my choice. He left as a result of criticism regarding his claiming expenses, travel etc. I don't know what he is like as a politician in his own area BUT if the people want him and the claiming culture has been cut out then who am i to object. His expenses would need to be closely monitored though !!

Re jonny1951,
Thank God you haven't got a vote
and even if you had you would
probably spoil it coming out with a statement
like that.

I don't remember saying I didn't have a vote? My point is anyone who votes for Sinn Fein needs their head examined. It is just over a year since Siin Fein refused to condemn the killing of Gerry McCabe. They will never ever get a vote off me. And people who support them support their stance on the murders of innocent people.

You really have the finger on the pulse jonny! Doherty has been a Donegal councillor for years and has fought a lot of elections. Hardly a 'poster boy' and don't think he spends too much time on hair dos, unlike your fellow county man ;-)

I am still waiting for any major political party Fine Gael or Fiaana Fail or labour or the Greens to condemn the use of shannon as a means of prosecuting an illegal war in the middle East and in that light none of them will get my vote when SinnFein have secured a United Ireland.

Wow thanks for that hurlingdub, seeing as i've been living in Donegal for the last 4 years i have a fair idea good lad. And what i mean by poster boy is nothing to do with his looks. He is seen as the young candidate who can get the 18-30 year olds who never had much interest in voting. And I couldn't give a toss about Enda Kenny or whoever it is you are talking about by the way.

United Ireland here we go again!

Well my point had to do with substance over style jonny. FG and Labour have been exposed as no different than FF in calling for wage freezes and cuts to pay for the bankers and speculators, many of whom have just as close connection to them as to FF. Ironically the Greens are relatively untainted by all that but are going to be, rightfully, obliterated, because of their naive support for the onslaught on the Irish people.

So hurlingdub would you vote for them even though they refuse to condemn what I mentioned?

810070 So hurlingdub would you vote for them even though they refuse to condemn what I mentioned?

So Johnny have you or will you vote for any of the major parties since they will not condemn what I mentioned and is a greater crime against humanity than any thing the IRA have ever done since first forming. If you do then you have double standards and I fear your argument loses all credibility.

derryman (Derry) - Posts: 3246 - 05/11/2010 10:41:45    810090

I would vote for them as they have position on economy closest to my own. And as Derryman says, none of the others are exactly innocent when it comes to supporting killing people.

I often wonder about this 'parish pump politics' labelled by the Dublin media on a rural TD who seeks to push a local issue. What is different from Ministers eg who look after their local interests or buddies. Millions handed over to legal buddies by a barrister minister, tax breaks for developer mates by others, and I could go on. When it is a local rural issue,like a road or local medical care it is sneered at. No different.

I did not state who i would vote for, probably an independent the way things are at the moment. Am i disputing what goes on at Shannon airport, no i am not so why bring it up? We are talking about Sinn Fein here, i stated I could never vote for them due to what they stand for and ye start spouting rubbish about other parties, i have no affiliation to any party so stick to the point i made, thanks.

All paramilitary groups are the s**m of the earth and Sinn Fein stand behind one of those groups. How can you vote for these people?

jonny1951 (Mayo) - Posts: 1431 - 05/11/2010 12:02:11    810156

Johnny you did not answer the question. How can you stand behind people who aid in the prosecution of illegal wars that have caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands. Your double standards are quite nauseating

derryman (Derry) - Posts: 3246 - 05/11/2010 12:10:21    810165

S**m of the earth murdered dozens of people in Dublin and Monaghan and were working for the people the Irish Governmnet supported in the north and covered up for. Not to mention hundreds they murdered in the north. Other s**m of the earth have left with with billions of their gambling debts. It's all relative my friend.

Are you stupid? Who said i was standing behing them? Can you read? Where does it say who i support or vote for?

jonny1951 (Mayo) - Posts: 1431 - 05/11/2010 12:17:37    810170

Its not relative when the topic of the post is Sinn Fein. I simply stated why i will never vote for them. I never stated where my preference lies.
