Actually I'd love to see them banned or at least the situation you have in Scotland where they only put up really small posters with no mugshots.
Any notice a the FF "presidential" style posters? Pic of Bertie under the term "Bertie's Team" and then the names of local candidates. Now I can't stand Bertie so I'm biased but I didn't he'd be popular enough for this to work. SF have done it in the past with wee Gerry (and are doing it at the moment) but I can see their point
Not as many as I was expecting to see this morning. Could backfire if the Tribunal stuff kicks off again. PD posters awful, bar the obvious fact they're a right wing t**ts. So airbrushed they don't even look real - took me a while to confirm that it actually was a Liz O'Donnell poster on the Belfield flyover.Quote:

Although I can't say I'm too impressed by the alternative rainbow coalition either.
But on a positive note, it would appear that the days of the PDs being in Government are all but gone.
FF are clearly using Berties popularity (even if it has fallen) as a tactic. The names under those posters are so small they barely noticable.Quote:

Ah well, at least it gives me the opportunity to weed out a few dupe accounts. Vote early, vote often, eh Fianna Failers? Gotcha! ;)

The posters with him grinning like a tit in the company of his delighted electorate are priceless. Photoshop Fás course ahoy.Quote:

SF posters are always green. I half expect the candidates to be wearing green clothes & hats. Its ok i get the Nationalist thing but they could tone down the green. :eek:
You and me both bud. :)Quote:

Another thing is the pictures of Kenny are so airbrushed he looks like Bush.
Also was walking down by Smithfield and Bertie going by in his Merc has the audacity to give me a big smile and a wave as if I'm his buddy.
Hope you replied with the finger.Quote:

I'll be voting FF and I've no problem saying it. Labour and the Shinners will get votes off me too. No Blueshirts or PDs or crazy lefty/right wing nut will ever get my vote.
And by my reckoning I'll be a 'winner' in this election - Bertie back but with Labour to keep an eye on him rather than McDowell. Jobs a good 'un.
KOH
I'd love to see the Greens as junior partners in Government but I'm not sure that having FG in there with them is worth it.
The only shock you should experience when you see the Gombeen Man is that he's not in jail. Keep the finger on a hair trigger.Quote:
