We did something right for once!

I'm happy it got passed, but I'm unhappy they had to do it twice. There was such an apathetic atmosphere to it the first time by the parties that supposedly supported it that the few sh*t for brains scaremongers managed to get it rejected. i'm not totally pleased with the yes campaign this time either though. Sure, they had a few more posters up, but hardly any of them were any thing more than "Mr X TD says vote yes" or "Ms Y councillor says vote yes". To be honest i wasn't expecting it to pass again, in spite of what the opinion polls were saying.

At least Declan Ganley has been discredited for a second time in 4 months.

Next, we need to force out Fianna Fail.

Let's hope you won't, because you most certainly would vote no. Legolas - 03/10/2009 02:27:48 PM 763 Views
We don't get a vote, because we would not say the right thing. So fuck democracy. Wibble - 03/10/2009 02:29:25 PM 699 Views
