The Official After Hours Presidential Election Thread **POLL RESET 23/10**

Pete M.

And Sean is also pro-fracking, or so one could argue.

Refused to sign an anti fracking petition and one of his canvassers also consultant for Tamboran (one of the fracking companies).

you are really scrapinmg the bottom of the barrel now.

I am sure some of the other candidates would have skeletons in their cupboards a lot worse that doing legitimate work for a law abiding business. ( I am not for or against fracking if its legal).

Can't believe anyone would vote for Gallagher, he has no political experience, he's no law knowledge, he seems dodgy from rumours of FF.

Michael D is the only one they can't get dirt on, sure he's old but what you see is what you get. Seems like a sound auld fella.

Only thing of note was a BBC NI interview from the 80's showing McGuinness lying that he never said he was in the IRA.

In the 1973 court case McG openly admitted he was a member andm BBC have footage of him being interviewed in 1972 as an IRA spokesman, walking through the Bogside.

Gallagher had all night to sort out a version of his story but somehow failed to do so.
Check out the interview on the Six-One news today.

If the people of Ireland vote Sean Gallagher as President we may have to come to terms with the fact that Father Ted was a documentary.

I formally criticised boards.ie as being overly censored, I was banned off Gallaghers FB page for criticizing him; I was told in the message, "Go post your ignorance elsewhere"

Perhaps it's an illustration of your own ignorance, as I never suggested that Browne hadn't invited him prior to when I made my post. All I did was point out my amusement at him was inviting him at the time I made my post, with not much air time left on the show.

This is something I found on youtube. Michael D's final speech in the dail. Where he speaks of the failure of our republic and pretty much suggesting a second republic.

This is what we need. The whole constitution of ireland needs to be scraped and we need to start afresh on a second republic.

It's scandalous whats happening honouring the gravy train payouts and pensions at the expense of everybody here in the land but especially and this is just my opinion children with specials needs where they are hit twice:
1) health - crumlin cutbacks
And 2) education - SNA cutbacks

Can Michael D deliver this as president?

Was there some kind of kerfuffle with ivana bacik there ? missed that.

Just Bacik being Bacik. Misdirecting, waffling and not giving straight answers. I think she is smart and tough though. She'd be good if she wasn't so unlikeable. Stubborn and never willing to give any ground.

Dobson called Sean Gallagher a bag man a few times. That was gas.

It depends. There are no accurate polls since last evenings revelations and the transfer situation is totally uncharted territory.

It would take an annihilation of Gallagher's vote and for it all to go to McGuinness.

Morlar is still hoping though!

Of course he's a chance despite what the media like to tell us.

One thing the Pat Kenny fiasco did for me was to make my mind up. I'm voting Sean Gallagher No 1. I'd take his word any day over a criminals, or the IRA. Another thing is, he did nothing illegal or untoward. Mc Guiness was part of a murdering group of people. The only other nasty people in this presidential election were the media, who were really disgraceful in the way they covered everything, especially their invasion into peoples lives. I was more than surprised that one or other of Mrs Robinson or Mrs MC Eleese didn't ask them to have some simple manners and decorum. Their so called profession has been very badly tarnished.

So you have no problem with the fact that he lied on national tv?

You do realise that FF have also confirmed it so its not just the word of ' criminals, or the IRA'.

What were Sean Gallaghers words exactly?

A lot of people would disagree with you on the untoward part of that statement.

Mc Guiness was part of a murdering group of people.

And.............

Would you not rather know about the presidential candidates and what type of people they are like, or how were you planning on judging who to vote for?

Mr Benevolent

I'm voting for Micky D now. Dana's too nuts, Norris is too annoying, Gallagher is too odd, Davis and Mitchell are non-existent and I've probably forgotten someone who is not important enough to be remembered.

Oh yeah, McGuinness. Kaboom, 'nuff said.

But the thing is its not just between Sean Gallagher and Martin McGuiness. You don't have to vote for either.

Bacik's support is one reason I won't be voting Michael D No. 1.
