| Mooney has it a few times in his leaflet that he stands for family values, etc. And how does one devote 50% of their leaflet talking about her kids? I would find that tedious in the extreme. |

| At least Simons has the guts to stand up publicly for her beliefs as evidenced by her work for the Pro-Life Campaign. It also takes a lot of courage to put your name before the public on the ballot sheet. I haven't seen her leaflet but what I do know is that she is a good candidate. She has great legal expertise and a proven track record of effective public performance as was demonstated during the Lisbon campaign. She also has a healthy attitude to the European Union.

Of the small remaining bit of leaflet where she talks about herself, 50% of that is devoted to enumerating her offspring. P.

| I don't think anyone is saying there's anything wrong with it, just that her pamphlet seems a bit thin - everything apart from her being a mother of 5 is criticism of her opponents, no mention of her political skills. Last edited by Geekzilla; 18th May 2009 at 05:20 PM. Reason: Fixed typo |

| I said she already has stood up for her beliefs. We already know her calibre. She has vastly more integrity than the majority of our elected representatives.
