Well done FF!

Both he and Ahern are the opposite to Cowen too, relatively clean-cut, healthy and somewhat coherent. Someone [possibly on P.ie] said that there could be a clean sweep of the current FF front bench, that wouldn't be a shock.

If you fancied a little flutter, if the markets allowed it, see if you can get a price on Sen James Carroll scraping a seat in Louth. He's a FF'er, but he's young, very,very popular and does a trojan amount of work in the local constituencies., He will have a big amount of support. While it shouldn't matter, I am biased though as I know him. I'm not a FF'er or any other party member for that matter. Worth checking out.

Micheal Martin - seriously!!!!!!!

And there were good nazi,s too, also not all priests are paedos!!!

He looks like someone but I can't place him. Alan Rickman maybe?

Can't decide if going back the the Dev's in 2010 would just be them going back to basics after the fiasco of the last few years, or whether the chill I get up my spine when i look at his picture is the most significant thing

Eh... what was it he said that he p[rays for a way out of this crisis.

May lord have mercy on us all.

Is there any chance of Cowen losing his seat I wonder? Or will he have taken good care of his fellow biffos?

None. It's really maddening how much he's loved down here. Even less chance given that Enright is stepping down.

I'm sitting listening to Cowan answer questions about the bail out. I'm after listening to Myles Dungan and a stream of those who know better discussing the situation. I'm sitting thinking - what the hell have they put us into. Cowan is struggling to read out notes regarding finance when I reckon he has problems totalling up his round. And now I think, despite the bye-election, FF will get a decent vote, pick up around 30 seats and end up back in government - if they're out then they're out for at least a year, until the country wobbles again and there's a new election and FG get a whipping. I'd love if someone could post up an article I read this morning from the Sindo - it's from dear leaders daughter and is a complete travesty against SF's win in Donegal. As a writer she's a joke, she's a best seller because of her father, because of her name, yet she gets a national platform to try destroy anti-Government voting and sentiment, while not once she mentioned her father's amnesia regarding envelopes and his penchant for being in the closet, not to mention the mess FF and Greens have continued to lead us into. Once people like this are allowed print space, we can be sure FF will get enough support from the sheep to hang in there!

Looks a bit like Greenclaws

Thanks Bills, yes, the one who started that excuse for a writer on her trip to stardom! I cannot believe they allowed that to be published though, I re-read it this morning just to see if I had made a massive error. It was surely a paid for party political by FF. It's as bad as the old gun totin' Willie articles that had the same notion.

"rites Celia Larkin"

I realise it's just a technical error, but you gotta love it.

I've spent a week looking at this post and still don't know what to say.

Michael Martin is the person many in FF are hoping takes the reins. The description of him that I outlined above is what is being peddled about.
As for O'Cuiv, I don't think he is realisticly a leader but there are those who believe that.

The second part of your post is nonsense.

**Charlie Darwin** · 29/11/2010, 5:41 PM

It's comforting to know that there were good Nazis. Here was me thinking they were all bad news!

**dahamsta** · 29/11/2010, 5:52 PM

Enough, he has point, he just doesn't express himself very intelligently. bennocelt, seriously, get your head out of the redtops, read something written by someone with talent. You may need to read something from abroad to achieve this though.

Back on topic please.

**bennocelt** · 29/11/2010, 6:48 PM

So someone writes that M Martin would be a viable future leader of FF, and I am the one who is writing rubbish! LOL
I do equate FF with the Nazi's thats how much I hate them and what I think of them, and would express it as so when ever I come into contact with a FFer (which is thankfully rare)

Well, yes, and your use of the word "LOL" as the first word of your next sentence proves that. Seriously, who would you propose as a viable leader of FF? Also seriously, grow up if you want to continue posting in CA. This isn't primary school.

Sorry, didnt know I had to have a doctorate to post on foot.ie

**dahamsta** · 29/11/2010, 8:28 PM

You don't have to have a doctorate to post in Current Affairs, but you do have to sound more intelligent than a 12 year old. If you don't like it, post somewhere else. If it continues, you won't be able to post here any more. Am I making myself fairly clear?

I'm not the one with the petty insults though, or the threats
