    Unsubscribed from thread.
    It's like listening to a GPS or Steven Hawkings voice box.

    Sadly the Séan is smeared yet again by the sheer force of obduracy.

    A stuck record is right once a day...if only to obviously mangle a cliché! :p

    You have consistently come out with this accusation against anyone who questions, queries or asks for clarification of points. If you are not able to debate a topic then I am mystified as to what you are at.
    It is like your fall back, default line. When you are unable to debate the subject in an adult fashion you make accusations of 'whataboutery'. If you did not wish for debate of the topic you should have wrote a blog.

    Untrue

    Changing the subject is not a good debating technique. Very poor .

    The op was very specific and your arguments did not address the point

    This sums up your contribution to the thread and the only defence of Gallagher you have been able to mount. Whatboutery.

    I actually havent seen him do anything that I would consider dishonest and maybe it is all the speculation that I found unfair.

    I asked you a straight question about MDH's honesty ...


    And you answer with this waffle:


    Are you sure you're not a seasoned politician yourself? You seem to be allergic to giving a straight answer to anything! biggrin.gif

    I was trying to be diplomatic.

    Do I think he has served the country well. No.

    Has he been a good politician in terms of winning elections. Yes.

    The two are not synonomous.

    How many interests can be served?

    Lots , except they are not discussed in the Oireachtas and how mad is that. We are not children. His job was to get them discussed.

    And, that getting back to MDH as per swampgas's question.

    The Labour Party's interest is not synonomous with the National Interest. They are mutually exclusive.

    I wrote:

    Being "no worse than others" is not good enough. We should expect far more from our leaders than merely being "no worse" than the conniving, the dishonest and the corrupt. What a low bar you set.

    CDfm responded:

    "Didn't I just. Though lots of international journalists do too."

    A dreadfully weak, inadequate response. I've seen him respond to many such direct questions and statements with similar deflections, as others have also pointed out on a number of occasions. That's popularly known as "whatboutery" on Boards.

    The field of candidates has been described as second rate and the contest seen as a nasty bitchfest.

    If the bar is low that is not my business and if I make a point about our system of government to make the meaning clearer I get shot down.

    MDH was there to look after all our interests not just those of the Labour Party and its constitiuency.

    So maybe there is a reason to believe that this partisan attitude will influence his presidency -I have no reason to believe it will not.

    Ok

    I've had enough of this tbh. This thread has been circling the drain for quite a while now. We're going round in circles and neither side of the debate seems willing to see the other side's view at all. The same points are just being regurgitated over and over.

    Cheers
