    Of course it's an exaggeration, and a wild one at that, but surely the question must be asked:
    Is and was Willie a complete bullsh!tter?

    The people of Limerick are perfectly entitled to vote for anyone they want: but why Willie?

    There must be people down there more worthy to be public representatives.

    Willie has been a disgrace for many years now and he doesn't seem to know when to stop digging.

    I would seriously question the legitimacy of his claims to have been a brilliant scholar, barrister, accountant, lecturer. etc. etc. when he was in his twenties.

    He just seems to be a bit...well....THICK?

    No problem - you see I'm not compromised by any party affiliations. He got what he deserved in losing his cabinet position, the electorate will decide his future as a TD and his party will decide on the membership issue. I know nothing about the rules of FF and couldn't give a damn whether they toss him out or not. Don't know what you imagine is left to debate - but if you want to raise the wrongdoings of Willy in his dealings with a Shinner, I'll raise the shennanigans of FG and the Heavy Gang in their none too gentle treatment of same. You know the one about sticks n stones n words etc?

    Of course Limerick will vote for little Willie. He is one of their own. He represents their interests. They dont care about 600,000 on ther live register. They dont care about Moyroll regeneration. All they want from their politicians is fast tracked passports, Medical cards, pot holes fixed, council lighting improved and that he turns up at funerals.

    Most of the country is like that.

    So you dont care that the ruling party of your country has such low standards as to allow WOD ride on their ticket?

    i know your right

    but people here i think , are political heads ,apart from a few trolls inteligent and logical (they would have seen a lot of these problems comming)
    an awfull lot of people detached themselves from politics and allowed these tossers in , its hard to feel sorry for them

    i know that sounds selfish, i know,
    but i was frugal i paid my debts , i borrowed what i could afford, i didnt get an ssia , i paid the equivilent of my mortgage, its gone, the what i was paying on my mortgage i used to pay car loan, iam 38 debt free for two yrs (i dont make big money)

    people didnt wake up smell the coffee ,let these ********************ers back in
    now before the last election, they were all crap

    but i didnt hear any calls for a new reveloutionary left or right party

    so did the people get what thet deserved ?
    i think maybe they did
    "If we VOTE YES there will be no more austere budgets. Fact " Hammer, mayday 12'
