    Right this is getting a little out of hand and steering away from the original post.


    Please all stick to my original post and don't fly off the handle, thanks!

    Simple solution - stop reading if you don't like the opinions your getting!

    I'm sorry but our government is a reflection of it's people. The scary thing is Fianna Fail did mostly what they promised to do, we the electorate didn't think about what the consequences of those actions would be. We didn't care... taxes were down, wages were up and your house was 'worth' a million. We voted them in three times in row to complete the mess.

    This is one of our biggest problems we think that it's our politicians that are the issue, when the issue is us.

    How does that make any sense?!! Sure Hitler was elected by the German people. I am pretty sure the vast amount of his policies were not representative of them.

    *Bingo!*

    By the laws of the internet, the first one to mention Hitler automatically wins any argument.

    Barroso was elected.
    By whom?
    What corruption?
    Their own Court of Auditors has refused to sign off on any budget in 20 years, which has led Mr. Van Rumpouy to suggest that said auditors "tone down their criticism" to avoid damaging the EU superstate project.

    Jesus, not that tired old canard again. It just won't die, will it?

    let's look at this another way...Brian Crowley has been an MEP for years and got 180,000 votes this time

    ...what has he achieved in that time?

    Nothing, he has achieved nothing. He actually missed about half of the last parliament due to ill-health.

    no opinion.

    Basically all i know is he wants weed decriminalized, and loves people cutting turf... Fair enough, but i guess he has more policies than that?



    I think those are his policies all right. Nothing much else apart from general blather and something about some guy in Irish Water - really important stuff.

    OK, let me rephrase if for you, the discussion has moved on, as most do in life...

    Why are you being so confrontational?
