The SDLP.

[El Matador]

I just take issue with phrases such as 'tainted' when a simple look at the history of some of those from other parties who were elected last week shows what true tainting is.

When are you going to learn Matador, that it is your fixation with the past rather than the future that is your undoing.

Nowhere more than politics is the adage "Eaten bread is soon forgotten" more relevant

Erm, I'm not fixated with the past. I was addressing a specific point. That said, I don't see any shame in remembering what went on in the past. After all, SF is happy enough to hark back to the past to remember the hunger strikers. Plus, a lot of issues from the past still need to be addressed such as collusion, justice for victims and the treatment of the Disappeared. Perhaps it's just a fact that the SDLP has less from its past to be ashamed of.

Yeah yeah yeah .. like I said earlier, sounds exactly like many FGers on here who berate the ignorant electorate for not returning the party of Cosgrove and Higgins, who founded the state don't you know, with consistent and huge overall majorities

Despite your brash confidence over the last month, you were told consistently that the Stops were heading for a fall. You seem to be also sucked in my the loving media attention into thinking, sure everyone loves ye.

Instead of worrying about things like election posters being torn down, tear down the scales from your eyes... otherwise the SDLP's fall is going to longer, slower and more paniful than you think.
