Vote

Not that I feel sorry for any politician, but whatever the outcome of today’s election the main job of the new administration is to clean up the shite left behind by the old one.

To have to go in and deal with the complete bollocks Fianna Fail and the Greens have made of this country isn’t a job I would fancy. If the country is a house in which bloody, messy murders have taken place, they’re the cleaners, the scrubbers, the wall washers, the ones who have to pick up bits of brains stuck the window, rather than the decorators. Still, they know that as well as anyone I’m sure.

I haven’t been inspired by any candidates, certainly not by any party, but I will vote today. I will vote to make sure that what little voice I have is raised in protest at Fianna Fail and the Green Party.

We know all about Fianna Fail, a party of corruption, bribery, thievery, and greed. A party that has always held its own interests above that of the country. A party of self-entitled, ignorant incompetents unfit for the importance of the jobs they hold. Don’t let the new face fool you. Micháel Martin was part of the last government, he spent 14 years at the cabinet table. Any attempts to distance himself from the litany of decisions that government took, which led to the bankruptcy of this country, are hugely disingenuous.

He was part of it all. He’s got his own skeletons. You’re not as prominent a member of FF without toeing the party line. And that is FF first, everything else second. We’d be here all day if we listed their failures but just look around you. Look at rising taxes, a broken health system, massive unemployment, billions put into financial institutions that have left us penniless, negative equity, rising interest rates from the same banks they’ve bailed out with our money, businesses failing, shops closing, emigration, increasing social problems, and the fact that instead of protecting the interests of the Irish people they looked after themselves and their friends first.

That’s the reality of what they did and we have to punish them for it. They said they were acting in the best interests of Ireland. It was a lie. It was all lies.

As for The Greens, the spineless, naive Greens. Lay down with dogs and you get fleas and that’s exactly what’s happened. They’re scratching now. If they say they honestly thought they could do some good, implement some of their policies, they’re lying. Ciaran Cuffe said:

Let’s be clear. A deal with Fianna Fáil would be a deal with the devil. We would be spat out after 5 years, and decimated as a Party. But, … would it be worth it?

The answer is no. In their hubris they have propped up the single most corrupt, venal and destructive goverment this country has ever seen. They had numerous chances to stand up and show some balls, some morals, and each time they failed. When even they’d had enough it was far too late. They enabled Fianna Fail to wreak havoc, no more, no less. And their legacy from a Green point of view? A ban on stag hunting and more expensive lightbulbs. Was it worth it?

The scale of the damage has been vast. So much so that it has broken the spirit of the Irish people. Half-hearted demonstrations fizzled out too quickly, the anger, resentment and frustration manifested itself in talk and chatter, ranting online and off, but we never really let them know how we felt about what they’d done. The weight of it all engendered apathy.

Well, today we have a chance to show them how we feel. The options might not be the best, my hope is that Labour will form a government with Fine Gael because allowing the likes of Varadkar and Creighton free reign is too horrible to contemplate, but while we might not have much to vote for, we have plenty to vote against.

Those of you who view your political party as a football team and will always vote for them, regardless of what they do, well fuck you. Dyed-in-the-wool FFers, staunch Greens, fuck you. Those of us who want to make some kind of protest at what this outgoing bunch of crooks and fools have done will vote in a way which causes them the most damage.

I want to see a new government, simply because we have to have one, but more than I want to see Fianna Fail and the Greens wiped out and punished for the mess they’ve made, a mess which affects every family in this country. You have a chance to help do that today.

Vote.

    I voted at 7.05 this morning, cast three preferences, managed to avoid FF FG or SF….. ahhhh

  2. Anne says:

    Well said Mr. Twenty.
    I will be voting today. Labour and possibly FG. Not much of a choice but they’ll surely have to better than FF.
    In saying that, I don’t have much confidence in their abilities and grasp on reality in renegotiating with the IMF/EU. As David McWilliams said on Prime Time recently, talking about interest rates is academic. The country is insolvent and we need to “restructure” the debt.. i.e. bondholders take a hit. Bank debts were not incurred by the Irish public, we shouldn’t have to suffer through higher taxes, all sorts of stealth taxes, poorer quality of already inadequate services and our young leaving our shores in droves.

    I don’t think Michael Noonan or Inda have the balls or the expertise to be able to negotiate anything of significance that would save the country. Noonan has said he will tow the line with whatever the EU want. All in all I’m not too optimistic that they’ll be able for any sort of a clean up.

  3. Hey Twenty,
    I want to share your frustration. Here in New South Wales, the labour government is so corrupt that half the sitting MPs haven’t got the gall to run again, in next month’s elections and the local labour candidates are not even using party colour or logo’s – labour candidates are running on a blank purple background as their logo, with no reference to the labour party.
    But for all the money they embezzled and all the corrupt building deals they got rich off, at least they didn’t bankrupt the country.
    I hope peope follow your advice and vote. I also hope that a very small armageddon will visit the outgoing and incoming politicians, and burn them all to shite.
    Cow

  4. Twenty Major says:

    Cow – there were similar goings on here. Candidates with party logos so small you could barely see them etc.

    And totally with you on the burning thing.

    Robert – I read somewhere, briefly, that it’s better to give them some preference rather than none. Not sure why though.

    Anne – I think it’s damage control and you have to wonder what little mines FF have left for FG to step on once they get in.

  5. Robert says:

    I’m voting in terms of my conscience. Which says even as a former “natural” FF’er I couldn’t even look at their candidates, they need to be excluded to the point of complete breakdown, or complete renewal. FG and their inda flash games and their right wing catholic fascism doesn;t float my boat either. They’ll get in of course, but my hands are clean.

  6. Excellent summary of the reasons why people who can vote should vote today. My hope is, and I fear it may be a groundless one, that the next government realises there is a one shot chance here and opens the books immediately on taking office. Fianna Fail have left a number of timebombs ready to go off in the faces of a new government, one of them being the quiet removal of pension funds from all University schemes and various large quangos and sliding them into Lenihan’s Special Purpose Vehicle the National Pension Reserve Fund which is being used to channel state money out to cronies and other bondholders. How will pensions be paid then? Lenihan has dumped the liability for those directly onto Oireachtas grant-in-aid to the Universities and the relevant quangos. The effects of this won’t be seen for a year or so. He has nicked built up funds, arranged for it to be paid to oligarchs and to top it off levied the future pensions on the taxpayer.

    If the incoming government don’t audit immediately and seriously they will be taking responsibility in the notorious court of public opinion in under a year. So they have a choice. Burn the corrupt and open the books and they have a chance to avoid serious issues not far down the road because at least they will have a chance of having the people on board. If they don’t? They will have played Fianna Fail’s game and will deserve to be treated like Fianna Failers when the time comes. And that can be read a number of ways.

    Enda’s choice.

  7. Unfortunately although they will almost certainly be booted well out of government, the FF (Friends First!) party will now settle back into the comfortable position of being the antagonistic opposition, a position that suits them very well. Over the next years, we can expect to hear their jeering slanderous remarks spun through the media and aimed at a ruling government whose only sin will be to try and clean up the mess they were left with.

    And much like the Obama-blaming American electorate, the Irish public with their mollusc-like attention spans, will soon forget that it was FF who made the mess in the first place. Enda might only have one term to try and shine.

  8. Sorry Captain. I didn’t see your post.
    You said exactly what I wanted to but more articulately and with more specific information.
    Enda’s first 100 days will decide if he has the balls to be a great Taoiseach.
    I have serious doubts.

  10. DD says:

    Well said Twenty.

    It only takes a few minutes to vote so people have fuck all to lose by doing so.

  11. Nonny says:

    I would rather FF then FG, the later are most ignorent shower of cunts to grace the face of the earth. When asked basic quetions about his finance plan Enda Kenny simply does not know, in fact he commits the worst possible crime, he refers you to a fucking website. They are anti gay, will get rid of stag hunt ban, anti abortion, anti childrens rights, in favor of the site for the new childrens hospital and with no real concept of what it takes to create jobs they are arrogant extremest and people think things are bad now, it will get a whole lot worse with them running the show. People can go around thinking there is fuck all the new government can do as their predesessors made such a cock of it but please please don’t be naive there is plenty they can. And people should be demanding that from the new government not resigning our economy to doom and providing a route of escapism for the new government. We are a country with a wealth of resouces. Just like a business, all it will take to turn the country around is one good finance person and someone with the balls to see it through. Enda Kenny is not your man, like many others I think they all seem a shower gobshite but in a sea of shit I’d rather take my chances with Labor. It is disgusting how the media and RTE have continually aided FG’s campaign, if they win today it is because the Irish media made them win. Nevertheless, it is not over till the fat lady sings, you don’t have to vote FG, it is in your hands people.

  12. And the answer to that is to vote FF nonny? All the complaints you have about a government that has yet to sit seems to indicate to you that people should vote for the party that has destroyed Irish independence.

    Strange logic.

    If I can sound a more optimistic note the one thing that is unfolding in Ireland and in other parts of the world is the failure of the political classes in general to be able to come to terms with a new form of oversight.

    This is the first time in history in Ireland and elsewhere where vested interests working through established parties can no longer control the political narrative. Five, ten, fifteen years ago and every election before that the news was presented in a way to consumers that favoured the status quo.

    Now there are forums where people can compare news from local areas with each other on a national basis free from editorial spin. I wouldn’t discount this as a major development. Fine Gael I’d say will face this new reality as much as Fianna Fail’s immolation today will be as a result of it.

    The wicked newspaper editor of the west Sir Heinz O’Reilly and Modom over at the Times are looking a lot weaker in terms of the way they used to be able to influence the political narrative in Ireland. This is a new trend and a new weapon.

    Fine Gael and whoever they govern with face a new day and governance in the court of public opinion is no longer under their control. They either deal with that new reality or become buried under it. Thats why I think its a one-shot chance for FG now. The moment they start acting like Fianna Failers with table manners those who watch political developments will be aware of it and will start shouting down the traditional communication channels as well as the new channels.

    They can’t control the questioner any longer and that is a reason also to get out and vote today. The opportunity to checking delivery against promise is now much better by a huge factor.

  13. Twenty Major says:

    Referring somebody to a website is the worst possible crime?! And to say RTE, which has glossed over so much of the damage done by FF, are pro FG is nonsense.

    Their election is inevitable, no question, but that’s why we need Labour, annoying as they are too, to keep them in check.

    Creighton and Varadkar scare me.

  14. ‘check’ delivery against promise’ even. Under the old format that post would have looked gorgeous. I blame Twenty.

  18. Yakuza says:

    Hi Twenty, long time lurker, first time poster :)
    In your listing of the Greens’ legacy, you forgot to mention a car market and taxation system that has more anomalies than a Star Trek episode. Cars registered two days apart in 2008 can have wildly different values (and car taxes). This is from their 2007 manifesto: (http://www.greenparty.ie/en/content/download/12480/147287/file/Manifesto_full.pdf)
    “replace Vehicle Registration Tax and motor tax with an Environmental Charge, based on
    emissions standards, fuel efficiency, size and weight, and an Environmental Levy on fuel;”
    Yeah, they did a half-arsed version of it – their “Carbon Tax”, but we still have motor tax which is independent of car usage (thus ignoring one of their core principles of the polluter pays).

    I have no sympathy for the car dealers / workshops who continue to gouge us where they can, but the Greens managed to shaft people who bought cars in good faith in 2007/early 2008 who saw the values of their cars plunge due to equivalent ones having different VRT rates etc, and the taxation system allows sales reps who drive 50000km a year pay €156 tax a year in their BMW.

    Voting system should be changed so that rather than having to vote for a cunt, albeit the lest cuntish, the electorate vote against cunts. First preference – which party do you hate most and so on.

  27. Nonny says:

    No I am voting Labor I just think FG are worse than FF. And seriously Twenty, I do agree that the media danced around FF when they were in government but before a general election to be favoring one party is disgracful. I have every copy of the IT and the INM papers for the last two weeks so don’t be telling me rubbish. In Ireland this week what would you have thought to be the most expensive advertising space. The add before the 6 o clock news on Wed perhaps? And who did RTE choose to give the limlight? Enda Kenny. I was in London last week, whislt talking to an American and a German guy they wanted to know was it true that our new priminister Kenny was going to welcome the queen. The UK papers were full of this story. I thought an election was a fair vote not a media driven given. The propaganda here is ridiculous.

  28. Twenty Major says:

    Stream of (un)consciousness, nonny. What are you on about?

    You didn’t think elections were media driven? That there’s no propaganda?

  29. maggot says:

    How do flip flops work with the webbed feet ?

  30. Ed says:

    And that is why this country is in the shite we are in. Gormless fuckwits rushing out to vote for ‘anyone but’. It won’t punish Fianna Fáil, they fucked up royally and will now walk away from the pile of shite they have created and will still collect all of their benefits! The new government elected by each of us will give the line ‘we did not create this mess, we are dealing with it’ or ‘we had no idea until we hit into power how utterly fucked the country is’. Don’t vote just to get rid of Fianna Fáil, vote for someone you think will actually do things better.
    Yes Fianna Fáil are cunts, yes the greens are spineless fucks who should be tied to steaks on O’ Connell St so we can all peg shite at them for sport, but choose carefully who you vote in because they will be the ones fucking you in the wallet very soon.

    My name is STILL wrong on the electoral register. It is in fact, a totally different name. Every time I vote, I tell them to correct it. Not only do they still accept my vote anyway, they never correct it.

    I said my correct name three times to the lady this morning. And she still got it wrong when she repeated it to me. Our country is run by people who don’t listen and don’t understand the point of their own jobs.

  34. Nonny says:

    There is no need to be so rude. The media have clearly favored Kenny. They have and you know they have, I appriciate you may not be in a position to be in agreement but why you would defend them is beyond me. We have had the newstalk debacle, the papers are awash with FG, every news story that has aired has lead with FG. We know why they do this, so they get their foot in the door with them and ensure they get access when FG are in government. For example, Brian Cowens now infamous night of drunkeness, while the place was littered with member of the media, nobody took a photo and nobody wrote about it before he was caught out on the radio interview. They didn’t want to shit on their own doorstep. If they did they’d never get that access again. But brown nosing and favoring one political party prior to a GE is disgraceful. The media have a responsibitlity when reporting it should not just be about their own agenda.

  35. Holemaster says:

    Yeah but that was part of a worldwide policy that was going to happen anyway. Ireland was chosen as a sort of beta test for the general worldwide initiative. Micheal Martin was the guinea pig minister told to do it by the WHO and EU.

    He pretended like it was his idea, the buttery faced little shit.

  36. sniffle says:

    Like Fintan O’Toole said earlier this week – there will be no change – the combined centre right and left vote will remain the same as it has been for the last 3 elections – this is why it’s important that Labour are part of the next government – to provide checks and balances on Leo and Lucy

    Vote Labour folks.

    @ 20 –great piece – thanks – still got the bike to work and the condensing boiler grant though…

  37. Twenty Major says:

    I’m not defending anyone. I just haven’t seen what you’ve seen. And I wasn’t being rude, just trying to make sense of your comment.

  38. Twenty Major says:

    Oh fair point, know a few people who got the bikes.

  39. Robert says:

    As I mentioned earlier I was a habitual FF voter, they seemed the least incredible (as opposed to assigning any actual credibility to any party)

    I also toyed with the idea that they made the mess, they should clean it up, but they sort of headed that off at the pass when the did the lemming / Jonesboro mass retirement thing.

    However I am of the opinion that Fianna Fail should be punshed severely at the polls for what they have done and how they have seemingly only been interested in power and not what they could achiev with that power. A message needs to be sent to ALL parties that our vote is a one election deal and you fuck it up, we switch, no more legacy votes for any party.

    Perhaps we will grow a pair and start smashing Dail windows and burning mercs but until then, we must never commit to any party for any longer than their promises last.

  40. Twenty Major says:

    Was the FF friendliness a family thing?

  41. Crank says:

    Yes, an excellent post Twenty and a timely reminder of the misdeeds and machinations of our previous overlords.

    While I will also be voting Labour I hope that we won’t see the total annihilation of Fianna Fail and the Greens. What I would love to see is about five FFers (who will probably secretly detest each other) stuck together for the next five years in an ever decreasing circle of hell.

    And one sad lonely Green, shunned by everyone, even the mad independants.

  42. Robert says:

    Well it started because the candidates from the other parties were either fundamentalist christians, a stuttery communist or former television repairmen (wink wink, good with electronics, delay timer switches etc) so it was either FF or fuck all.

    They never did me any harm through the boom, although Helen Keller could have steered us through that with more foresight.

    I’m determined to be a floating voter from now on (sounds vaguely filthy) and I urge everyone to do the same.

  43. Robert says:

    I’d like that, and Gerry Fucking Adams to lose on the 12th count……….

  44. I actually think you’re right Nonny but I‘m surprised you’re so shocked by it.
    RTE have always been a bunch of sycophantic toadies to whoever happened to be their ruling overlords at any particular time.
    They were rimming Fianna Fail up to the end of last year and now they’re backing the winning horse. C’est la fucking vie.

    A lot of people who emigrated over the years did so because of that and not because of jobs. Plenty of intelligent men and women could see the rot that was at the core of everything in Ireland and wanted no part of that in their lives. They got their degrees and fucked off never to return. These are people who became leaders in their various fields all over the world. Sometimes you’d hear an interview on RTE with a top surgeon or a scientist in MIT and you’d hear a trace of their accent.

  48. sakimoto says:

    A friend of mine just told me he has voted for Fianna Fail, I am completely shocked as I thought they were of sound mind. When asked why it basically boiled down to him not liking Enda Kenny. I told him the last time we elected a personality it was Bertie Ahern. He then told me with a straight face that it’s not about that, but about party and he didn’t believe FG or Labour were the right parties for Ireland. What fucking planet do these people live on.

    I’m hoping for a FG\Labour coalition but my fear is that they will argue over everything, and labour won’t allow the necessary scale of cuts needed to the bloated public sector bodies. Meanwhile FF (who will score higher than the polls indicate I fear) will sit there grinning looking to cash in on the disruption next time around.

    The cunts should literally be shot along with anyone riding on their coat tails.

    Stay at home. Watch some free porn on the internet and when you are done wanking you can take a little satisfaction that the empty, hollow feeling in your gut will be felt all over the country Sunday morning when the citizens of Ireland reach for the Sunday newspaper and see Edna Kenny smiling out at them before they realise that they have just been fucked up the ass by a bunch of old men in suits, while you can console yourself with the excuse that your metaphorical fucking came from some 18 year old lesbian being 69’ed by a MILF.

    That is the truth, and it is still happening today. During the mad years there was a glimmer of hope that all the money could be put to good use, but it’s been blown. That is exactly what is wrong with this island.

    I would advise anyone who still has the use of their legs (and is not in negative equity) to get out now. Starting over is difficult, but risking bitterness and stuntedness by staying in this failed statelet is worse.

    In fairness though i do fucking hate Ireland at the moment. It is a nation of corrupt lazy shites. Half the fuckers wouldn’t know a hard days work if it slapped them in the face and kicked them in the balls from behind. I really think people claiming the scratcher, rent allowance and all the other stuff the feel entitled to for more than 5 yrs should be investigated. And in another all fairness one protest was hardly gonna cut the mustard. I counted 57 people at a protest over the closure of Our Ladies and less than 600 at the proposed closure of St Lukes. The politicians murdered romantic Ireland all right but us gobshites sat back and let them. I would love to move away.

    just back a little while from voting. turnout is fucking HUGE here. queues, fucking QUEUES voting. FF may not get a seat here, they have 2 of 4. I voted

    Trever Sergent (Green) -1
    Tom Kelleher (Labour)- 2
    Alan Farrell (FG)- 3
    Brendan Ryan (Lab) – 4
    James Reilly (FG) – 5
    Mark Harold (indo) – 6
    Clare Daly – 7
    Dara O Brien (FF) – No vote
    Michael Kennedy (FF) – No vote

  87. Emigrating Soon says:

    It felt so good to vote today, even more so after receiving a begging email from a FF’er yesterday, saying that he was a full time politician, no other business interests, a family man trying to make a difference… What a slimy bastard!

    My initial reaction was to into a rage, the cheeky cunt that he was.. there’s me after losing my job over and a half ago, the bank in the process of taking the house, and I in the process of packing up to move abroad in a couple of weeks, and this cunt had a cheek to come cap in hand playing the victim card, when his cohort is responsible for over 450k unemployed in the country.

    I wrote a swift response telling him in no uncertain terms to go fuck himself!

    The rage sat with me for the day.. it made voting feel all the better.

  88. Crank says:

    Those are brilliant itchy. Absolutely hilarious. Did you design them yourself (and have you a better pic of the big one)?

  89. Nonny says:

    Ahhhh thats awful, maybe you could talk to MAABS about your house or rent it. Don’t give up there are lots of people in your position and there is always something you can do. I hope it all works out really well for you and you make a nice life for yourself wherever your going.

  91. itchybollix says:

    They are excellent but alas no, I didn’t design them. I gave a brief* on the big one and a very talented friend of mine took it, ran with it and emailed me this

    http://i56.tinypic.com/1116yd5.jpg

    the better plan etc was another person who kindly gave me permission to use them.

    I read an article in Private Eye Magazine this week about Tunisian leaders, Egyptian leaders, Saudi, Libya and I’m not kidding when I state that when I read it i thought of Ireland and Fianna Fail. How many time did you hear Lenihan, after another fucking proick gets caught with his pants down and money sticking in his hole** say “Oh. We can’t do anything about the million dollar pay off for so and so. ” No. We can’t take back that car. We’d need to hold a referndum to get that snatch trimming session re-imbursed from NASA. And we wouldn’t like to have to vote for a refendum on Mary Harneys Snatch now would we? haw, haw, haw. Remember Hilary Clinton had a snuke in her snatch? Well imagine what Mary Harney has. Let’s just leave it be and pay-off 200,000 here, 150,000 there” Cowen, Ahern, Harney – the three protaganists of the financial destruction of the country have left with a million dollar pay-off and nobody is stopping it. Because it’s their “entitlement”. Given to them by themselves and thir Fianna Fail friends and supporters and voters.

    Brian Cowen pump-primed a booming economy for 5 years in a row.

    Lenihan gives limp handshakes a bad fucking name. There’s right and wrong and he went with “the law”. Bullshit. right, spleen vented. Thank you. This is what Tony Soprano pays 100 bucks an hour for.

    STILL NO ARRESTS.

    7,500,000,0000 transferred from Irish Life and Permanent to Anglo Irish Bank to bolster the balance sheet. I want people dragged out of their office and their faces shoved against the wall when the cuffs are going on them for that kind of stuf, but all I get is a threatening legal letter for not paying my TV Licence on time. Fucking shithole. I hate it.

    * the brief…..sounds like the stuff the stuck up their hole bozo’s i sometimes have to deal with would say

    would if be possible to get some sharp person here to make an image for a poster?

    a montage of Bertie Ahern, Mary Harney, Dermot Ahern, Beverly Cooper-Flynn

    top banner in FF Green – Thanks for voting Fianna Fail

    Bottom of banner – Thanks for the money too.

    or if anyone can think of better slogans etc. or better outgoing/incumbent tds etc.

    if not, no probs I’ll use my expert, eh, m’soft paint skillls…

    i really just want to put them up 2 or 3 days before the election to remind FF voters of what the cunts did and I reckon the less faces and smaller slogans the better. hence I’m omitting cowen

    and/or along the lines

    We Busted the Country and Retired Millionaires

    Thanks for the money

    Holemaster, that was a beautiful post about those who left and why. Very unrecognised. You shoudl put it on your blog.

    otd, that ‘time to vote’ was golden too :)

    I voted labour too,with great trepidation. And independents, a few. But.. options, there aint many, despite the 25 candidates in Wicklow!. It’s freaking me out that my husband is voting FG because they’re going to get in anyway and Independents are just out for their own agendas.

  99. Mosheen says:

    Yes, you have a point HM. The trouble is, maybe gluey does too (if you set aside all the shit talk). Nonny, Itchy, is there anything positive in hating the place? I think maybe there is. Maybe hating it is what we need more of, not just being pissed off but really fucking hating it.
    There are brilliant Irish people all over the world and at home in Ireland HM and maybe it’s time to organize them and vote them into positions of power. If people can hate it enough it will be over for ALL the hereditary TD’s and those that “worked their way up the ranks of the party”. Parachute the decent and smart and honest and qualified and whoever it is that gives people genuine hope that it is really going to change.
    I left in the early 80′s because I hated it. I couldn’t stomach how corrupt everything and everyone was. Sure, there was a few decent types, but just a few. Most of my friends left too, but they were leaving for jobs or bright lights, it seemed to me, it was like everyone was resigned to the hypocrisy and corruption. So I fucked off. I should have stayed and tried to fix it, but at the time I thought I was the only one who hated it. If enough people HATE it and know it, maybe they will start to change it. When I left it was the way it had always been, with money for the few and hopelessness for the rest. But now people have seen that it could be something more and maybe that’s what will make the difference.
    There’s pain and cutbacks and unemployment all over the world, that’s part of what’s going on in Egypt and Libya and all those places. Hate is motivating and uniting people in a common cause.
    Fuck it, it’s worth a shot.

    No no Sir Alberto Rosso, it is not because he is young, it is because he is a fucking retard. In fact, now I make be mistaken but I believe whilst taken part in a recent clinical trial senior members of the research program found that he had the highest retard to person ration ever recorded, in the history of the whole white world don’t you know. In percentage terms, again not sure but think he is 85% more retard than person. The other 15% comprises of that big neck he has. Like a jockeys bollox some would say. As I said I could be wrong but him being a deluded doctor with little actual experience one would probably see him himself the best person able to back me up. If I am wrong I stand corrected.

    Also,the fact that he is anti gay marriage, anti womens rights and anti abortion – even in inconvienient circumstances which he doesn’t like to talk about, ye know were a women has been raped or has cancer. Futhermore, he is a raciest pig. He would not make a good politician as I am pretty sure politicans need a good memory and he obviously suffers from some sort of memory loss problem as clearly he forgets were him and his ilk came from. Then off course we have complete and utter inability to interpret financial situation or statements. Were he to sit down with me and talk me through a balance sheet I would happily take it all back but we all know that will never happen. He should sick to what he is good at, writing crazy letters to newspappers, annoying people, picking his nose and examining the substance on the tip of his index finger and off course counting his pubs with a magnifying glass and tweesers. If he get his wish and we start deporting immigrants we will have to ask NASA if there is any chance we can send the Discovery up one more time so we can send that cunt back to whatever planet he came from.

    I’ve to meet a friend in the pub for 9. I hope to god there’s no FF’ers in there if and when that dozy spoofer of a cunt o’brien gets in. so, there’s 7500 1st preference for FF in Dublin North from a pool of 49,000. kill. kill ‘em all

  157. Senor Dingdong says:

    Are we rich yet?

  158. Conan Drumm says:

    Looks like Hanafin may scrape in behind either Boyd Barrett or Bacik.

  159. Crank says:

    Yea but Labour want a total recount, I see.

  160. Crank says:

    Praise Jesus or whoever you’re having yourself!

  161. Crank says:

    And Coughlan gone!!! and more ————> !!!!!!!!!!!

  162. Crank says:

    And Mary O’Rourke. It’s a great day for, well me really.

    Ireland’s still fucked.

  163. Conan Drumm says:

    Thank you God, re Mary Coughlan, Gormley and O’Rourke. Please can you see to Emo Ryan and Mary Hanafin tomorrow so I can wake up on Monday and fantasise that it’s a new country with a bit of hope in its ragged pockets.

  164. Nonny says:

    Feel bad for Mary O’Rourke, it was really sad.

    Also, what did Trevor Sargent do that was so awful??

    And, when will I know if Joan Collins gets in?

  165. Crank says:

    What constituency is Joan Collins?

  166. Nonny says:

    I think it is Dublin South Central, Dublin 12

    Thanks Mr Crank

  167. Conan Drumm says:

    Wicklow returning Officer just said the local Green belonged to the ‘An Comortas Glas’. With any luck Dickie Roche won’t get in.

  168. Crank says:

    Info is here Nonny:

    http://www.rte.ie/news/election2011/results/dublin-south-central.html

    Only one count done so far though but she’s 3rd on 1st preferences with 5 seats available. I’d say she’s good for transfers as well. No idea how long the count will go on though. Dublin South Central – they probably keep stopping for moccachino latte grandes and danish pastries. Could be days yet!

  169. Nonny says:

    Thats all just a clever facade Mr Crank really we’re poor as as my spelling.

    Thank you kindly for the info, this election business is so addictive, little work is getting done in this house today.

  170. Crank says:

    Naw, Dick won’t get in. Lying 8th after the first count with FF not getting their usual transfers. I think it’s safe to say he’ll have plenty of time to enjoy being held up in hotels.

  171. Crank says:

    Sesame Street was brought to you today by the number 17.4% and the word ‘Eliminated’.

  172. Icarus says:

    No more Sweary Mary or Conor Lenihan? Things are looking better already!

  173. Crank says:

    Yes and Pat Carey, Bertie’s bumboy Cyprian Brady and John O’Donoghue gone. The day keeps getting better and better.

  174. Senor Dingdong says:

    Sayanora Cyprian, and take Mary with you on the way out

  175. Micosavo says:

    So now that John O’Donoghue and those other feckers are gone….is there any way we can recoup the money they spent laughingly claimed as “expenses”?

  176. maggot says:

    Hmmmm – Gerry is replacing CO’C as leader in Dáil. Should be interesting.

  177. maggot says:

    O’Dea made it ?

  178. Crank says:

    Astounding, isn’t it? I blame the Rubberbandits.

  179. itchybollix says:

    just in and thanks to text from from person i hear FF were fucked out of dublin north but

    after reading a message above

    WTF? pensions

    http://www.rte.ie/news/election2011/results/dunlaoghaire.html

  180. itchybollix says:

    dunno yet. i heard at about pm that he 1st pref’d 6,000 from last time at 20,000.

    michel martin showed his true colours by bringing that cunt back in to the fold

    Fianna Fail; you can rely on scum associating with scum

  181. Crank says:

    Pensions?

  182. itchybollix says:

    hanafin. 3 pesions she won’t renounce. say’s it’s her entitlement.

    may “pensions” hanafin

    me be tired and emotional

    FF gone. this is what getting religion is like

  183. can't be arsed says:

    at last

    some free state fuckers with some sense

    well done Louth

  184. Alberto Rosso says:

    Citizen Ming elected. Now there;s a “green” TD Twenty can relate to

  185. GLUASITEAN says:

    CAN’T BE ARSED – IF YOU ARE A REPRESENTATIVE ON THE NON ‘FREE STATE…ALL I CAN SAY IS THATYOU LOT ARE MORE SCREWED UP THAN US LOT.

  186. Mansergh gone too? “And we’re here with Lord Mansergh of St Jamesons. Do you have any final comment before we turn you over to the local populace who one hears would quite like to crush you between two big rocks?”

    “Yes” (leaps out of chair milling arms at invisible mosquitoes) “I HOOT moy … FART …. HOOTHOOT WHISTLE farbberwebber”

    “Oh look just fuckoff.”

  187. I’ve been thinking of ways you could use civil unrest to actually create jobs and annoy people at the same time.

    If I keep referring to Lord Mansergh of St Jamesons Twenty is bound to get a ‘cease and desist’ letter from probably Mansergh and Jamesons whiskey. If we just change it to Lord Mansergh of Glenmorangie then Twenty will probably get cease and desist letters from them too. Could turn into a bit of a quirkly meme.

    The drinks industry lawyers would have to take on extra staff and the economy would be saved. Twenty won’t mind.

  188. Skobie 1 Kinobi says:

    yesterday / last night was one of the best nights ever
    it was MEGA
    the green party obliterated and the 3 Mary’s
    hanifan coughlin orourke gone
    but best of all was the look on cyprian bradys face when he realised he was not going to get elected
    i have a sore head but i am very happy today
