You should be running for election yourself Magicme!
To add to the sins he has committed in the past, Bertie Ahern has shown his true colours, he is yellow!
He was due to do a walkabout in Monaghan Town yesterday as part of his whirlwind tour of Ireland. He arrived in Monaghan and went to the local girls Secondary School where his Monaghan candidate is vice principle (she may have vices but being in FF I doubt she has principals!) and he spoke to the students there. He didnt talk about politics but rather about the Beatles and how many "love"s there are in Love Me Do!
While he was "entertaining" the impressionable young minds of my alma mater a crowd of people had gathered in the Diamond in Monaghan to protest at their attitude to Monaghan General Hospital. Bertie abandoned his walkabout and hightailed it out of Monaghan. Coward.
This is further proof of how he sees the people of my town/county, we are not worthy.
I had to go collect my son from school and as I was walking to meet him Bertie & his entourage drove past. His window was open and I let him know what I thought of him.
God I am still angry!!!!!
All the other parties running in Monaghan have signed and gotten their leaders to sign a contract to improve Monaghan Hospital but FF refused to sign up. 17 people in the last few years would still be alive if Monaghan Hospital was on full functionality like it should be. I myself would not be here if it hadnt been for Monaghan Hospital and I wanted to ask Bertie if he would look after my kids should I die from an Asthma attack because he is trying to close my hospital.
Sorry about the above rant, am just raging!

TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY
The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!
All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
I havent the feckin time!!!
No have faith in my Barrister and Green Party candidate Vincent P Martin to kick some ass. When I was in 6th class my teacher told my mum that I was the next Margaret Thatcher!So am scared to let my political side out of the bag too much!
Leader of the country in too-busy-to-talk-to-angry-minds-made-up-culchies shocker!

Ha. Yeah but he expects us to vote for his colleagues. Thats not the way to do business.
For years we have been treated so shabbily its beyond me how he would have the gaul to ask us to re-elect him and his cronies.
Which one, Asterix or Obelix?
Sorry, I'm cruel.
Obollock more like if we are talkin bout Bertie!
Yeah damahsta...my spelling gets worse in direct proportion to my anger!
They are guaranteed one seat anyway as the Ceann Chomlaire (sp????????) Dr Rory O'Hanlon is automatically re-elected. That brings the 5 seat Cavan Monaghan Constituency down to a 4 seat competition. Caomhighin O'Caolain (SF) will be returned and probably Seymour Crawford (FG) will be returned. FF will prob get the other 2 seats. Its just such a joke.
Magic, do you think Vincent P Martin has a chance? He polled well as an independent last time round. Add those who voted green last time round and that's 2 or 3 thousand 1st prefs. Has he the momentum to build on that?
My vote is in Dublin now, otherwise he'd get my vote too.
My brother has been disenfranchised, else he'd get his vote as well: although he is a full-time student in the UK, he's a postgraduate and only undergraduates get a postal vote.
I dont know. A few people I have talked to are giving him their 1st pref. There is very much a desire for change in the town because of the Hospital but the silly feckers will prob still vote FF in.
I reckon if Vincent went and hugged all the females in the county (like he did me yesterday!) he would win hands down! He is a really charming bloke but that aside, he is a very intelligent and hard working guy who has done alot for the county in the last few years in his Co. Council capacity. I really hope he can do it.
Its terrible to be criticising the man of the people so much.
yeah Pete. Such a great man. Letting people die because they want to close a hospital is a great way of being a man of the people.
Yup you have convinced me now Pete, Bertie's cronies are getting my vote now. Thank you for pointing out the error of my ways!
My thoughts exactly
Do you honestly think Bertie gives a monkeys what you think above in Monaghan??
I bet you'll return a Fianna Failer too.
And as I'm sick of saying, if you "people" want access to a hospital move a bit closer to civilisation. End of.
BRILLIANTtypical bertie, but the sad thing is that FF will probably get a seat there as well
democracy? my as s , if you vote for FF then you dont deserve a vote IMHO![]()
Looks like you need a sarcasm detector to go with that new breast screening unit
Therein lies your problem
I can't believe you give out about Bertie and in the same breath talk up a chancer of a Green Party candidate. He gives good hugs and he's charming?!?! WOWZA!!I reckon if Vincent went and hugged all the females in the county (like he did me yesterday!) he would win hands down! He is a really charming bloke but that aside, he is a very intelligent and hard working guy who has done alot for the county in the last few years in his Co. Council capacity. I really hope he can do it.
I mean the Greens FFS

Yeah I do think that the leader of the country should give a dam about all the people in the country.
The tongue in cheek smilie wasnt working. I stated he was charming but that is not my reason for voting for him. Having worked closely with the guy for years I know the calibre of the green candidate and I know he will do his dam best for me and at the end of the day thats what matters. ME!
Ha the sarcasm detector could sit beside all the other nice shiny machinery in the hospital....oh wait there isnt any, its all been shipped off to Cavan.
I know the problem is that the thick *******s around here will vote the Fat Feckers back in but does that mean that I cant give out about it? I will b using my vote to try and make a difference, its not my fault if the stupid f**kers around me dont.
Greens will not have enough power to do anything on their own but I think that we need their voices combining with whoever does get in to bring a more stable approach to our everyday lives.
Can't wait to see an alternative government yet again messing up hospitals/not building infrastructure/wasting money...wonder who everybody across the country will give out to then..? Of course the alternative won't speed away at the first sign of angry people like nasty Bertie..

Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
He doesn't though. Nor will he ever, regardless of who it is
How far is Cavan from Monaghan? What's the population?Ha the sarcasm detector could sit beside all the other nice shiny machinery in the hospital....oh wait there isnt any, its all been shipped off to Cavan.
By voting Green?? Come on nowI will b using my vote to try and make a difference, its not my fault if the stupid f**kers around me dont.
The Greens having lots of power would be a disasterGreens will not have enough power to do anything on their own but I think that we need their voices combining with whoever does get in to bring a more stable approach to our everyday lives
