Sarah, the unique think about the Govt. is that they are hated big time BUT more people prefer to relelect them than to elect FG and Labour.

How constructive. So we CAN have another 5 years of FF and their lip service. Because, hey the most important thing is empty rhetoric on the subject of a 32 country Ireland and not how we treat people who need brain surgery in a 26 county Ireland. As for James....definitely one of the more pathetic defences I've come across. Ah, not voting at all! How constructive. So we CAN have another 5 years of FF and their lip service.

It's refreshing to read well-informed commentary appended to the blog post that ignited the cross-talk.

Many of 'his' mailings seem to have a number of (sometimes contradictory) ideas. I recently abandoned another blog because it became totally one-sided politically (pro-USA Republican/anti-arab [to say the least]). I should be sorry to see this one become so one-sided.

I don't sit around moaning about the status quo all day. I know several politicans, am active in my community and in other things. I don't sit on the fence. If FG were Nationalist I might vote for them. You may think that politics is dismal sometimes, but at the end of the day you are going to vote for FG. I am not. I am seriously probably not going to vote for any candidates in the next GE as I hate them all, all for different reasons. I will still be a repubican though. What are FG?

We agreed politics in general is dismal. But what can you do? Alright, so I had a most pleasant lunch with Ardmayle accompanied by a very nice Montepulciano and am feeling a little mellower.
