I think it's more reminiscent of Eric Cantona's kung fu kick incident. In that a member of the crowd thinking they were immune thought they could safely act aggressively and the hard man without fear of comeback. Then shocked to find someone break the rules....and they weren't so safe anymore. So then the hard man went off crying to tell the teacher (garda station)

I'd love to give Enda Kenny a kung fu kick to the groin. Same with Joan Burton, that way I can confirm my suspicions that she is really a man. I wouldn't scratch her face, though, she's that rough I'd say your nails would just be filed down like you just had a manicure.

But instead of attacking people, I just put a sign on my door, right on the mail slot, stating NO CANVASSERS. Quite funny watching them open the gate and go up to the door only to turn back around when they see the sign. And on May 23rd I will be doing my best to kick FG, FF and Labour as far out of my life as possible. None of these parties will ever get a moment of my time ever again after ruining the futures of young people like myself to ensure that their pay and the big banks and big money investors keep their bellies well full.

Of course they lie. If they told the truth they'd never get elected and would be out on their ear in short order if they told the truth after being elected. Here in Sligo, local FG liar TD John Perry, before being elected, pledged to resign if cancer services were not restored at Sligo General Hospital within 100 days of FG going into government. That 100 days came and went 3 years ago.http://jrnl.ie/162282

I'd reckon they might have dodged a bullet, given the personalized nature of the rest of your post :eek:

I'm not advocating what happened to him, but this is how angry a lot of people are with politicians.
Doubt that message is going to get through to any of them though.

No better than the person who attacked him.

How would you know that was a lie?

Pretty sure it was a joke, gave me a giggle regardless.

But if you must know, you can always watch this.

Anger isn't an excuse for assault under and circumstances, nor is it even a mitigating factor. If a guy smacked the head off another guy outside a chipper and justified it in Court by saying that the person he assaulted was studying to be an accountant and he was angry at his own accountant, would it be any more sane?

he was canvassing therefore he was lying to get the vote. I couldn't be any simpler than that

Baloney! What a cop out! What lie - even one - did this particular person tell? Just one that you personally attribute to him specifically. All this internet warrior bull and then you either have no idea that he lied about anything or haven't the moral strength to commit yourself publicly to any statement that might come back and bite you.
Waffle of the highest order.

I'm sure you don't want then to disturb you while you are watching Jeremy Kyle.

What exactly are you implying by the comment above?
Is it that someone that watches Jeremy Kylie is thick?
Is that anyone that watches Jeremy Kyle is part of a lesser class than you?
Or is it that you are trying to imply that we should not take any notice of this posters comments because he is of a lesser ilk?

The above to me appears to be the language of an ignorant person, one, where when he cannot prove his point (in this case IMO his defence of Fine Gael) and uses derogatory terms to try to put down his opponent.

This is similar to the language used to describe the person who had the altercation with the councillor, that he is a scumbag. what exactly does that mean, considering that it is quite possible that the councillor was the person who carried out the assault, is the term scumbag referring to a person who is working class, maybe on the dole, or is it in reference to a person who has opposite views to you as to how this government is running the country?

They took over a stagnant economy with high unemployment and MASSIVE debt, but don't let facts get in the way of your soapboxing.

I know most people in ireland, including yours truly , are hurting in Ireland 2014 - but surely the anger should be directed at Fianna Fail , they created the basket case that is Ireland 2014 - in fairness to Fine Gael , the economy is recovering a little , and we are out of the Fianna Fail induced IMF control - we Irish have a short memory - just blame the government - instead of looking at who actually caused the economic crisis today.

It's also incredibly hypicritical.
The ordinary people I see around me in the world have equivalent or lower level of integrity, work ethic, honour and efficacy than any of these public figures.
I wouldn't expect people to be dancing with joy but Righteosness is definitely the new religion in Ireland. Maybe makes people feel better in a short term, self indulgent way.

Ahem.....

Take a look at the national debt. Tell me again how Fianna Fail lost us hundreds of billions in the past couple of years.

So why they don't eh... unsign it. They have the power apparently, the overwhelming majority
If they have such disregard for the opposition, while in office and their previous tenure and decisions. Make the right decisions, what are the banks and courts and the EU parliament going to do, lock the politicans up?

Unlikely. And the world will just keep on turning.

FF had us in for €86bn. FG have us in for €177bn. Also, as has been pointed out a billion times over. "Not one more cent........"
