Martin McGuinness

As I said above though don't forget the usual Shinner bollixology ''whatever happend in the past should be left there.''

So you want to dwell on the past then? Funny how you said i was living in the 19th century last weekend when i was shouting for the yanks in the Rugby. You cant have it both ways. You either have to forget about the past or not. 

 

 

 

Bit of a difference between a game of Rugby and somebody wanting to run for President. Oh you also said If I'm not mistaken having Norris as President would be an embarrasment yet you have no problem in voting for some like McGuinness.

 

 

Yeah, realise that Louth may not be an accurate barometer of all of Ireland. But I think the point is being missed here, nobody knows better than SF that McGuinness wont win it, this is about profile building for them, a respectable showing in this election (say , coming 3rd) and it is a giant step further into mainstream southern Ireland politics, something that SF have been struggling to do for decades. They would not have even considered this only the fact the main parties have put forward such weak candidates, and they have correctly recognised that their candidate has a higher profile than any of the rest and they are seeking to get an advantage out of it at the cost to some of the traditional parties like FF and FG here. As regards this objective, if that is what it is, I think thay have caught the rest napping.

 

 

Edit; just as regards the Dublin point, fully agree, but FG have gone for a candidate that has no profile where the 3 point whatever million outside of Dublin live. Surely a criminal error by Phil Hogan and whoever the rest of the brains behind FG are, given they are the largest party in government ?

 

 

 

 

 

Well done you go on about moving on from the past in relation to McGuinness and you come out with a bigoted remark like that

 

Bit of difference between Mandela and McGuinness
