well organ its who you have been voting for, it doesnt matter fine fail, gael, labour all do the same things there is no real alternative in this country because the old boys club wont allow it and people have it too good to stand up for basic things nevermind honest politicians.

Audrey says, “Any other country and Bertie would be locked up by now.”

I don’t think so. Libby and Rove are not inside. Neither is Berlusconi. Neither is Olmert. Or Jacques Chirac. Admittedly varying circumstances and cases — and stages of development. Mugabe’s not locked up. Nor is Tony Blair, much as he should be. Bertie’s transgressions can’t possibly be as bad as taking a country to war on the basis of a pack of lies.

Things may be bad here, but I don’t for one minute think we’re the worst. And don’t get me started on bloody Dubya … I’d kick his arse to kingdom come. (The effort would probably do for me, but it’d be worth it.)

I suppose we were all that young once and thought nobody else existed.

As for the Preznit, well, I’ve run out of hyperbolic outbursts to describe the idiot.

one thing (of many, sugar) i’ve learned about irish politics from all y’all is that they are only slightly more complicated and insane than ours are over here in the states. every time dubya opens his mouth i wince knowing that anything and everything he says will further damn us to hell and give the next president an even harder road to go. i do agree with the earlier comment about people educating themselves about politics and issues. all we can do, is try to make it better. because if we don’t it can will get worse. xox

(and so sayeth pollyanna)

the thing is, they’ve basically been brainwashed(don’t like using that word but it’ll have to do) into supporting Fianna Fail for no valid reason whatsoever.
We are generation meh?
