Not sure I'd agree, Fitzy. FG are the very same as FF, in many ways. I remember John Bruton, as Taoiseach, twisting the truth one time and his way out of it was claiming that he didn't give the full story because he hadn't been asked the right questions.
Mpsox made a great post on Page 4 of this thread. I also voted FF last time round but who can I vote for next time? I'm in Cork South Central. Should I vote for FG? Deirdre Clune is an embarrassment and is only there because her father, Peter Barry, was a TD. Simon Coveney is also the son of a former TD, though he inspires a little more confidence. Ciarán Lynch of Labour comes across well but a vote for him is, ultimately, a vote to put Enda Kenny in as Taoiseach. Enda is a nice guy, I'm sure, though he's proven he's capable of of speaking out of both sides of his mouth also. I think he'd be a wishy washy Taoiseach and, to quote Jim Kemmy, If Enda attacked you, you'd probably feel like you'd been savaged by a dead sheep!
I went to see the Four Angry Men in The Opera House last week and the four of them were scathing in their criticism of the Opposition.
People are queueing up to vote FG and Labour next time round. Does anyone seriously think they'd be much different to the present shower?
What is understood doesn't need to be discussed!
