Irish Parties looking at learning online and database lessons from Obama could do worse than bear this post in mind. Almost as soon as the election is over, improvements and evolution are making some parts redundant and others essential. Get your campaign an i-phone for everyone? Might be better than printing flyers, it goes to show how parties, if they take it seriously, need to keep ahead of the wave - not just follow.
Bertie shakes some old fellas hand. Shock horror. Lets start the vote of no confidence straight away.
What the hell is that about other than a man with a track record for being fanatically anti-government and biased in favour of the opposition. Yawn indeed. Your bias is starting to undermine your talent.
FYI
*ahem* Thank you for your concern. Now. Click on picture. Follow hyperlink. Read story. Look at picture again. Say ahh.
Thank you Mark.
That’s just theft by one individual it’s not corruption by a party. As I said your bias means you have put a title to a story and the two have no relation. It’s like saying Green Ink or Mark Waters or myself is a thief but putting a headline that puts the blame on the whole IrishElection community. Try to be a little balanced. You have talent but the anti-government propaganda you spew out does not do that talent justice.
Not sure that Tony Soprano would approve of Clly Fahy’s behaviour, you normally have to give the Don a cut of any action you get. It’s only fair. He could end up swimming with the fishes along with Big Pussy.
JohnMac, I never said that Fianna Fail is a corrupt party. Fahy was a Fianna Fail county councillor who abused his position for personal gain. Therefore this is a Fianna Fail corruption scandal and the heading is entirely accurate. It’s not like they haven’t had a few corruption scandals.
If contributing to Irish Election gave some kind of power to contributors, and one of us then abused that power, that would in fact reflect poorly on the rest of us. As it happens, it doesn’t, and the actions of individual contributors has absolutely no bearing on any of the rest of us. Therefore your example is fallacious.
I comment on the most prominent stories when and if I have time. I have never published any anti-government propaganda. I don’t recall the opposition parties being involved in any controversies recently, other than who might get into bed with whom. That does not make me biased in their favour. For example.
So to recap:
I am biased against corruption in politics.
I am not a fanatic.
I do not post propaganda.
I do seem to strike a nerve from time to time.
